- Dell And Compellent Sitting In a Tree
By Howard Marks
Dell and Compellent are engaged in exclusive negotiations for Dell to acquire Compellent at $27.50 a share, or $876 million. Because the storage business has seen bidding wars for Data Domain and 3Par over the past few years, and Compellent has been not-so-quietly building a state-of-the-art modular array, my friends down on Wall Street have bid Compellent's stock up to $33 a share and are likely to be disappointed. Because I'm a geek, not a trader, I'm more concerned about how this will play out for Dell and Compellent customers.

- Compellent - Taking On The Enterprise Challenge
By Tom Trainer
On Nov. 22, Compellent announced the newest release of StorageCenter version 5.4, new Live Volume software, new Enterprise Manager multisite tool capabilities, and next-generation hardware that is faster, stores more data and connects to FCoE and 10GbE iSCSI. Back in October, I wrote that Compellent was rising to the enterprise challenge. With this announcement, it's clear to me that Compellent is taking on the enterprise challenge and may be swinging the acquisition pendulum in their direction.

- IBM Systems And Tecnology Group Growth Strategies
By David Hill
At its recent industry analyst event in Rye Brook, N.Y., IBM's Systems and Technology Group (STG) unveiled its five-year growth strategies for 2011 through 2015. As the guardian of the hardware and software that exploits that hardware to maximum benefit, STG is one of the recognized foundations of IBM, with a wide range of servers (including x86, Unix and mainframe systems) and storage products, as well as the IBM Research labs that support those efforts. Understanding what IBM STG is doing is important to understanding not only what the company is doing now and plans to do in the near future, but also to understanding what IBM thinks are the dynamics that will be driving the IT industry in years to come.
