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.

I'll be covering the eTech conference in San Diego in early March. It's been a few years, last time I went was just before my surgery in 2002. I'll be going as a blogger, not presenting. Many thanks to O'Reilly for approving the press pass, and I look forward to catching up with many old friends.

(InfoWorld) - After several quarters ofÂ lackluster financial performanceÂ in Asia, EMC executives are looking to get the company's operations back on track. "Our challenge is execution," said Steve Leonard, president of EMC's Asia-Pacific operations. "We have to do a better job of execution, and execution is fixable." During the third quarter, EMC's Asian revenue grew by 6.9 percent, far slower than other regions. The company saw growth of 20.6 percent in the U.S. and 19.4 percent in Europe, the Middle East and Africa during the same period. EMC's other geographical unit, which includes Canada, Mexico and South America, saw growth of 27.1 percent. Still, EMC's financial performance in Asia during the third-quarter was an improvement over previous periods. The company reported revenue growth of 2.2 percent and 1.4 percent during the second and first quarters, respectively. This sluggish growth contrasts with performance in earlier years, when the company posted annual revenue growth in the high teens. Leonard joined EMC in April, after running the Asia-Pacific operations of Symantec, with a mandate to revive the company's business in Asia. "We have asked some members of our team to leave the business, we've asked some team members to take on added responsibility, and we brought in some outside professionals from different companies," he said. Returning to faster growth in Asia will take time, Leonard said, noting EMC is taking a measured approach, looking to first resolve some operational issues before moving on to others. "We're seeing some early indications that some of those things are gaining traction," he said. For example, EMC is rethinking its sales model and is working more closely with channel partners across the region. "In Asia-Pacific, not working closely enough with partners means you miss a lot of territory," Leonard said. "We've re-engineered our partnership program, how we train, and how we reward our partner community." The company also wants to take advantage of its strong market position in storage to sell more software to customers, Leonard said. As part of this process, EMC wants to reinvent itself in the eyes of customers and show how string of acquisitions in recent years have changed the company from a provider of large storage arrays to a vendor that offers a range of products for storing and managing data, he said. Another area where EMC hopes to improve is support. The company is moving to a single support contact for all of its products, a change that should make life easier for customers, Leonard said. "We are improving day by day," he said.
