Dell Storage Chief Unruffled by EMC-Intel Pact

摘要

Praveen Asthana, director of Dell Inc.'s enterprise storage unit, said EMC Corp.'s recently signed multiyear agreement to let Intel Corp, sell low-end EMC storage arrays likely won't affect his company's similar longtime contract with the Hopkinton, Mass.-based storage vendor. Analysts, however, say a conflict between Dell and EMC is likely as the latter continues to drive its own low-end product line — until now Dell's bailiwick. In an interview with Computerworld, Asthana discussed the EMC moves and other storage issues facing the PC maker.
