Why EMC May Soon Buy Out VMware

EMC and VMWare (and Cisco) have a partnership for the vBlock managed infrastructure device. VMWare has other managed device platfroms, like the EVO:RAIL, which runs on the hardware provided by other partners, like Dell or EMC. Or the vCloud, a VMWare managed service provider.

Overall their marketing seems a little unfocused. And these managed infrastructure devices are so large (physically, monetarily, resource-wise) that you're really tied into the one you chose, it's not easy to demo more than one of these at once.
