Update: EMC to acquire RSA Security for almost $2.1B
by dc0de at 9:57 am EDT, Jun 30, 2006 |
Ok... I have nothing flashy to say, except, WHAT??? Is it me, or am I simply not seeing how this is going to help the "average" company? EMC has always been a "top shelf" product, and priced that way (e.g. expensive as hell), and RSA is not known for "budget conscious" products either. Unless this expenditure of @2.1 Billion Dollars by EMC means they're going to product their products at a LOWER PRICE TO the Market, (Which I can't forsee in any alternate reality, nevermind our current one), what's the point? To make Security on Data Storage too expensive for the masses? Arrrrgggggghhhhhh, ... It's Drivin' me Nuts!!!! |

Of course, there's a tie-in, however, will it make it to the "masses"? I'm really looking at "What's in it for the rest of us who can't afford EMC products today?" I dont' think that we're going to see this aquisition bear real "fruit" for several years, and when there is "fruit", it won't be for sale to the masses, only to those who have the millions of $ to purchase the EMC solutions. |
