Intel reports 12.6% Class A stake in VMware

Intel Corp., the world's largest chip maker, on Tuesday reported a 12.6 percent stake in Class A shares of virtualization software maker VMware Inc., according to a regulatory filing.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company reported owning 9.5 million shares of VMware's Class A common stock. This represents a 12.6 percent stake, based on the 75.1 million shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding as of the completion of VMware's IPO on Aug. 14.

    Intel jumped into this before the IPO. When VMware was divided into to classes of stock, 32,500,000 Class A and 300,000,000 Class B for a total of 332,500,000 shares! Since there is nearly ten times the amount of Class B shares, grossly overlooked in recent news articles is the shear weight of the Class B shares making it a mere 1.23% holdings.

    I have invested in VMware for the long haul, so believe me, I want the positive spin to influence another's decision to buy. Let's just not forget the big picture here.

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
