EMC moves on data management, security
98130
(InfoWorld) - There was a time when EMC was considered a rather staid tech company in a boring, if profitable market: storage. No longer. With regulations bearing down on enterprises, EMC is now a major player in areas such as security and content management. That change was evident last week, as EMC wrapped up its massive, $2.1 billion acquisition of RSA and announced that it was buying yet another security company: Network Intelligence, for $175 million. Network Intelligence produces enVision, a data management product that aggregates information such as log files, applications, hosts, and network devices. The company and its products will be added to EMCâs new security division, which will be located at RSAâs campus in Bedford, Mass. RSAâs identity management, access management, and data encryption products will be the heart of EMCâs âinformation-centric security strategy,â CEO Joe Tucci said in a statement. Network Intelligenceâs wares will allow EMC to offer customers compliance and security policy management tools as part of that strategy. EMC also showed some progress in integrating past acquisitions. Infoscape, unveiled on Monday, is a data storage management product that ties together technology from EMCâs purchase of Documentum and Legato in 2003, as well as Smarts in 2005. The product works with EMCâs Celerra storage environment and DART OS and allows customers to organize unstructured documents such as spreadsheets, presentations, and word processing files.ADVERTISEMENTMAKE SOA REAL WITH IBM WEBSPHERE PODCASTStreamline processes and maximize efficiency within a proven service oriented architecture.

EMC has acquired Voyence to help IT administrators keep track of both the changes made in their network and security devices and the problems that come up -- which, in some cases, are related.Voyence, a privately held company based in Richardson, Texas, makes software called VoyenceControl that manages network changes and configurations on multiple vendors&#39; equipment. The 78-person company will be integrated into EMC&#39;s Resource Management Software business unit. The deal has already closed, and EMC did not disclose the financial terms.EMC will keep selling VoyenceControl as a separate product for the foreseeable future, but the acquisition gives it the opportunity to further line up the software with its own, said EMC spokesman Craig Librett. Voyence&#39;s software is already integrated with EMC&#39;s Smarts network management platform through software adapters, but they could be further combined, he said.In addition to managing changes on network and security devices, VoyenceControl controls who can access them to prevent misconfigurations. It also helps keep track of regulatory compliance.EMC, a storage giant, is&#160;flying high on the strength of VMware, the fast-growing virtualization company it acquired in 2004. Earlier this month, it&#160;acquired Berkeley Data Systems, which provides the Mozy Online backup and recovery services. Based in Hopkinton, Mass., EMC has about 36,000 employees worldwide and is projecting 2007 revenue of $12.7 billion.

(InfoWorld) - EMC has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Valyd Software, a Hyderabad, India, vendor of software for securing enterprise data. EMC did not disclose the sum it will pay for Valyd, a privately held company. Valyd's software will be brought into RSA, the security division of EMC that was set up last year to integrate products from itsÂ acquisition of RSA SecurityÂ andÂ Network Intelligence. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter, the Hopkinton, Massachusetts, vendor of storage management and security software said Tuesday. Valyd's technology for encrypting and securing data at the database and file system level will lead to the introduction of two new products from the RSA division, after the acquisition is complete, said Manoj Chugh, president of EMC India, on Wednesday. RSA Database Security Manager will address security of data on a variety of database management systems, while RSA File Security Manager will secure data security at the file and folder level, Chugh said. A focus of the RSA division is on products that manage and secure enterprise-wide information assets regardless of where they resides on the network, Chugh said. Valyd's technology, which runs on a large variety of operating systems and database systems, fitted well into the strategy of the RSA division, he added. Valyd Software was set up in 1998 to develop software to secure enterprise data. The company has over 50 staff in Hyderabad, which will be increased to 100 by the end of this year, Chugh said. The Hyderabad operation will focus on the development and enhancement of the new security products, he added. Indian product companies have emerged as acquisition targets for multinational companies. Oracle Corp., for example, has acquired a majority stake in Indian financial software company, i-flex Solutions Ltd. "India was until now perceived as a low-cost location for outsourcing work, rather than as a place where you could find top quality innovation and intellectual property," Chugh said.
