(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.

(InfoWorld) - Web content delivery company Akamai Technologies has signed an agreement to acquire Netli, which provides services to help accelerate content and services online, the companies announced Monday. In the deal, Akamai would acquire Netli in exchange for about 3.2 million shares of Akamai common stock, or about $170 million depending on Akamai's share price on the closing date. The companies expect the deal, which Netli stockholders must approve, to close by the end of this quarter. The acquisition would improve Akamai's application acceleration offerings and add to the company's goal of being the leading managed service provider for Web application acceleration, Akamai said. The market for application acceleration spending is projected to grow from $967 million in 2004 to $3.3 billion in 2010, according to IT analysis firm Gartner. Akamai and Netli's combined managed services will focus on two important market segments: application delivery controllers and WAN optimization controllers, said Akamai, which is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The merged company will combine Netli's high-performance communications protocol with Akamai's global scale and its capabilities to reroute Internet traffic around points of congestion, Akamai said. The company will target large companies offering dynamic applications, such as customer portals, collaboration platforms, e-learning environments, and business-to-business commerce. The two companies "both emphasize leading-edge technology to help businesses deliver more effective, higher-performing online applications," Paul Sagan, president and CEO of Akamai, said in a statement. Netli, based in Mountain View, California, has about 70 employees, and most of them would stay with Akamai, said Jeff Young, an Akamai spokesman. In November, Akamai announced plans to buy Nine Systems, a multimedia management service provider, in a stock and cash deal worth about $160 million.
