EMC Announces Cloud Storage Networking Strategy

EMC is planning a converged networking infrastructure that will help businesses migrate to a private cloud computing environment. According to this eWeek report, the company plans to roll out new storage networking products and services later this year as part of its initiative.

"At the EMC World 2010 show here May 10, EMC officials announced a converged networking strategy aimed at data centers. The strategy includes expanded networking services, analysis tools for assessing converged networking efforts, and extended reseller agreements with Brocade and Cisco Systems.

"In a question-and-answer session with reporters and analysts after his keynote address at the show, EMC CEO Joe Tucci said that as enterprises grow the use of data center virtualization technologies and start their migration to private cloud computing environments, demand for converged networks will increase."
