The deal would free IBM from a troubled business segment and create an alliance for Hitachi that would compete for the leadership of the sector with EMC Corp..

Hitachi plans to combine the operations with its own in a joint venture, in which it will initially own a 70 percent stake and then fully own in three years.

Interesting... I'd prefer Fujitsu, but Hitachi is not all bad.

I did a search for it... So it must have been a while back.
What can I say, I have been "sleeping" through most of recent news.

yep, this is oooooold news...

Good Morning 🙂

It sucks that IBM chucked the whole division, rather than just addressing the product issues... *sigh*
