EMC, VMWare: Opportunism prevails as markets remain volatile

EMC, with a market cap of $49.33 billion, continues to be a bargain approach to ownership of VMWare, especially this week with a price drop under $20/share. The valuation gap between the two companies still obviously exists ($92 versus $20), and although VMWare has dropped a bit that disconnect will likely continue for the forseeable future. VMWare will still have the higher price due to expectations of its growth and a lack of real competition in the virtualization market.

So you continue to have a choice on how to get on the virtualization gravy train: buy the Lexus in VMWare if you can afford it on a bargain day, or get the same value in the Toyota pickup truck of EMC. Both are offered by the same company in essence. And the current market volatility is actually a great time to be opportunistic in buying either or both at a relatively attractive price.

Cloud Security: Eliminate humans from the "Information Supply Chain on the Web"

My upcoming article, part - 3 data center predictions for 2009, has a slideshot talking about the transition from the current age to the cloud computing age to eventually the ideation age- the age where you will have clouds that will emote but they will have no internal employees.

Biggest management disasters occur because internal folks are making a mess of the playground.

Om's blog is carrying an article about Cloud security and it is rather direct but also makes a lot of sense:

I don’t believe that clouds themselves will cause the security breaches and data theft they anticipate; in many ways, clouds will result in better security. Here’s why: Fewer humans –Most computer breaches are the result of human error; only 20-40 percent stem from technical malfunctions. Cloud operators that want to be profitable take humans out of the loop whenever possible.Better tools – Clouds can afford high-end data protection and security monitoring tools, as well as the experts to run them. I trust…
