EMC CEO Joe Tucci is gonna keep his eventual replacement waiting a while
longer.
When the company posted pretty Q4 results the other day Tucci said he won't
be stepping down this year as planned.
He said the board asked him to stay into 2013 and that "after much
soul-searching" he agreed.
"As I've said in the past, the board and I fully expect that my successor
will come from within the existing, talented and experienced ranks of the EMC
management team" - who reportedly all asked him to reconsider his transition
plans.
"I have already started to increase the responsibilities of my senior
leadership team, and when the time is right, my successor will be named.
Until then, we have much work to do."
Ex-Intel exec Pat Gelsinger, EMC's COO, is expected to succeed him.
EMC reported a record Q4, shrugging off any affects of the slowdown or the
Thai floods that have cri... (more)
Amazon's cloud, which, let's face it, is still pretty much developer turf,
broadened its push into the enterprise Wednesday with the introduction of AWS
Storage Gateway, a beta virtual appliance nominally meant to automate
enterprise data backup to S3 while creating a comfort level with the cloud

It's the first time Amazon has proposed putting its own software on the

corporations. Amazon says some customers asked for such a solution. It also
expects resellers to offer the service.

Seems just the other day - actually it was two weeks ago - that we divined
that HP, imagining blowing Google away, would pull out the stops to get the
webOS that it bought, put in a tablet that failed in the market, dropped,
then open sourced - life's funny like that - in shape to publish the code in
stages.
And what do you know - surprise, surprise - HP Wednesday committed to a
timetable for getting the thing out in steps by September under the lenient
Apache 2.0 license.
See, here's the schedule:
Timing

Apple has taken the International Trade Commission's month-old decision
finding HTC's Android gismos infringe only one of the patents it asserted and
letting it ship the products while it fixes the problem to the Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC).
The patent-watching Foss Patents blog says Apple quietly lodged the appeal on
December 29.
The blog learned from an Apple filing with the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois in a case against Motorola Mobility
that the ITC's administrative law judge had sided with Apple and found HTC
guilty... (more)
Joyent's SmartDataCenter IaaS platform is going to be sold to Italian VARs
and service providers by ICOS, an Italian value-added distributor, for
private cloud infrastructure or value-added private cloud services.
SmartDataCenter's local storage is supposed to reduce the TCO of cloud data
centers.
It's designed to manage tens of thousands of virtual machines, a k a
SmartMachines, and supports a multi-tenant PaaS.
ICOS means to develop its own cloud infrastructure for channel partners too
so they don't have to build their own cloud data center.
JoyentCloud.com delivers public clo... (more)
