		<description><![CDATA[Seagate Technologies plc’s (STX) shares are trading higher these days on better-than-expected revenue guidance for both the December and March quarters. Recently, the hard disk drive (HDD) manufacturer provided a financial update, indicating that shipments for December would be around 43 million units (versus the most recent guidance of 40–50 million) and revenue of roughly $2.80 billion. The revenue guidance is far better than the Street expectation of $2.69 billion. The gross margin is expected to be roughly 15–20% higher than the company’s long-term goal of as much as 26.0%. Seagate noted that while its own Thai facilities were not affected by the flooding, it may face challenges in making hard drives because of difficulties in getting parts. Hence, assuming some impact, the HDD manufacturer has narrowed its expectation for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Western Digital Corp. (WDC) is counting the days to wrap up the acquisition of Hitachi Ltd.’s (HIT) wholly owned subsidiary, Global Storage Technology (“HGST”). Last week, the top-tier hard disk drive (HDD) manufacturer received approval from the European Union (EU) that cleared all disputes regarding the takeover. In March 2011, Western Digital signed a definitive agreement to take over HGST, for approximately $4.3 billion. The acquisition was intended to make Western Digital a more customer-focused storage company, with significant operational scale and a product suite that would make it more competitive in the international market. On the other hand, some industry experts believe that the combined entity may lose some market share, as several smaller players are supplying HDDs at competitive prices. Regulators approved the deal only after Western Digital ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cyber security has emerged as the most discussed topic in the technology market over the last few months. As corporations, government agencies, banks and video game companies have been plagued by cyber attacks, online security has become a major concern for all. However, the last few months have been particularly embarrassing for cyber security providers such as EMC Corp. (EMC), after some high-profile hacking was reported at Sony Corp. (SNE), EMC’s own RSA division, defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT), banker Citigroup Inc. (C), search company Google Inc. (GOOG), video game companies Electronic Arts (ERTS) and Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. Moreover, government agencies like the IMF and CIA were also targeted. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which works closely with the U.S. Energy Department, also fell prey to cyber attack. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[EMC Corp. (EMC) signed a new strategic partnership with Harris Corp. (HRS) and Virtual Computing Environment Company (VCE). The alliance will focus on developing and marketing multi-tenant cloud solutions to further accelerate the adoption of cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) by commercial and government enterprises. Multi-tenant cloud solutions have numerous benefits including optimization of resource sharing, thereby providing high levels of isolation to the tenants and high quality service throughout a shared environment. As part of the strategic alliance, development teams from Harris, RSA (the security division of EMC) and VCE plan to integrate Harris’ trust enablement technologies with the Vblock Infrastructure Platforms to provide improved visibility into the security, performance and availability state of cloud environments hosted by Harris. This is expected to reduce the security concerns over ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NetApp Inc. (NTAP) has sealed a definitive agreement with LSI Corporation (LSI) to acquire its external storage systems business. This all-cash deal worth $480.0 million is expected to be wrapped up within two months, subject to regulatory approvals. California-based LSI designs, develops and markets complex high-performance semiconductors and storage systems. Its technology provides outstanding storage capacity, speed, reliability and power saving to users. LSI reports revenues in two segments––Semiconductors and Storage Systems. The Storage Systems business includes both external storage systems and server RAID adapters and software. It accounted for 41% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010. The divestiture of the external storage systems business is aimed at streamlining LSI as a pure-play semiconductor company.

		<description><![CDATA[NetApp Inc. (NTAP) is scheduled to announce its third quarter 2011 results on February 16. Upward revisions to estimates reflect positive sentiments on the stock. Second Quarter Overview NetApp reported solid second quarter 2011 numbers, with both earnings per share and revenue exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimates. A surge in product demand fueled by new product launches and enhanced customer satisfaction led to a 32.6% year-over-year increase in total revenue. Extended partnership programs with VMware Inc. (VMW) and Fujitsu also contributed to revenue growth. Despite higher revenue, the gross margin was slightly down from the year-ago quarter due to lower average selling price. However, operating margin outperformed due to tight control on operating expenses, bringing in non-GAAP earnings of 52 cents, which was up from 27 cents in the year-ago ]]></description>

On November 15, mid-cap Seattle tech firm, Isilon Systems (Nasdaq: ISLN) received a $2.25 billion takeover offer from EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC). The deal values Isilon at $33.85 per share – a 29% premium over its closing price prior to the announcement.

		<description><![CDATA[The European Union (EU) has accused International Business Machine Corp. (IBM) of violating anti-trust guidelines and misusing its dominant position in the Mainframe computer market. The European Commission, the executive arm of European Union, has launched two anti-trust probes against IBM. The first one follows complains by emulator software vendors T3 Technologies Inc. and Turbo Hercules. The companies have alleged that IBM is selling mainframe hardware along with its mainframe operating system. This creates mounting pressure on vendors who are selling emulation technology, which enables users to run critical applications on non-IBM hardware. Both T3 Technologies Inc. and Turbo Hercules write mainframe emulation software programs such as Liberty 2.0, which allow mainframe applications to run on Windows-based servers. T3 had previously filed antitrust claims against IBM in federal court in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NetApp Inc. (NTAP) has strengthened its strategic alliance with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT). Accordingly, the two companies are going to increase technological collaboration in an attempt to help common customers and service providers improve their infrastructure and enhance their operational efficiency. The resultant cost reduction and improvement in management capabilities of these companies should improve customer satisfaction and bring new ones. With the help of Microsoft’s management tools and NetApp’s storage solutions, customers are expected to create efficient internal and external networks that will ultimately improve the performance of the data centers owned by end customers. We believe this is a win-win situation for both the companies, as the alliance will enhance the technological exchange between them, at the same time helping them increase their market reach, by providing easy access ]]></description>

(QTM) posted a narrower fiscal 2010 fourth-quarter GAAP net loss of $4.4 million, compared to a loss of $11.9 million in the year-ago period, after the closing bell on Thursday.

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings estimates for the major hard disk drive manufacturer Western Digital Corp. (WDC) have moved up sharply, attributable to encouraging third quarter results and strong business fundamentals. The company reported third quarter 2010 EPS of $1.71, which exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.55. EPS was up $1.49 from the year-ago quarter, while it was down 14 cents sequentially. Revenue for the third quarter was $2.6 billion, up 64.5% from the prior year and almost flat sequentially. The strength may be attributed to strong demand from existing customers during the quarter ended March 31. This has, in turn, enabled the company to generate unit shipment growth in the recently concluded quarter. Average hard drive selling prices came in at $51.0 per unit Incorporatedreasing $1.0 from the year-ago period and declining $1.0 ]]></description>

EMC’s fourth-quarter results as announced on January 26, 2010 exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimates and its own expectations.

		<description><![CDATA[We have downgraded EMC Corp. (EMC) to Underperform from our previous Neutral rating, due to underlying near-term risks. The increasing downside risk to growth and low profit visibility in the near-term is expected to be the negative catalyst for the upcoming earnings.

While EMC has the potential to benefit from restructuring activities, the company is cautious about reaching its goal in the near-term, given the unfavorable pricing environment and weak demand for its products. Further, we favor EMC’s closest peers, NetApp, Inc. (NTAP) and Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) as they have the ability to demonstrate a much higher growth rate and estimates for good earnings growth in 2010. We believe the increasing competition from NetApp and ]]></description>
