		<description><![CDATA[VMware (VMW) reported strong third quarter 2010 results based on robust revenues and operating margin growth, partially offset by weak bookings outlook and a sluggish cash flow growth. Earnings (including stock-based compensation but excluding one time items) of 24 cents per share were up from the year-ago quarter of 11 cents. Earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 22 cents per share. Robust results at VMware indicate increased growth opportunity and diversity of its products. Moreover the company is benefiting from improving demand, customer wins and geographical expansion. Revenue Revenues increased 45.8% year over year to $714.2 million, primarily driven by strong growth from license and services segment. License revenues were up 42.8% year over year to $343.2 million. Services revenue leaped 48.7% year over year to $371.0 million. U.S. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading provider of virtualization infrastructure software solutions VMware Inc. (VMW) has launched a limited period VMware Fusion upgrade program for users of Parallels Desktop, Macintosh version, for $9.99. Under the program, Parallels Macintosh users will be able to switch over to VMWare Fusion 3 for only $9.99, thereby saving $30.00 from a usual VMware Fusion upgrade or a $40.0 from upgrading to Parallels Desktop 6. VMware Fusion 3 costs $79.99 for a new license and $39.99 for an upgrade from previous VMware Fusion 2 and 1. In our view, there is pent-up demand for both Macintosh and Windows, as information technology (IT) spending recovers.

		<description><![CDATA[International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) announced the availability of world’s fastest microprocessor that will begin shipping to customers from Sep 10, 2010. The z196 processor is a four-core chip that contains 1.4 billion transistors on a 512-square milimeter (mm) surface. The chip was manufactured by using 45 nanometer (nm) silicon on insulator (SOI) processor technologies. The microprocessor chip can pick up speeds of up to 5.2 gigahertz, which means the chip&#8217;s controlling clock can tick out 5.2 billion pulses per second to keep data moving around the microscopic channels in the chip. The mainframe processor uses embedded DRAM (eDRAM) technology, which allows IBM to place dense DRAM caches, or components, on the same chips as high-speed microprocessors, resulting in improved performance. With the increasing complexities associated with day to day ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As per recent findings of the technology research firm Gartner Inc., the global cloud service market is expected to grow substantially with revenue expected to reach $148.8 billion by 2014. The market research firm is of the opinion that the cloud computing market will grow exponentially by 16.6%, generating revenues of $68.3 billion in 2010 and reaching $148.8 billion by 2014 from $58.6 billion in 2009. The detailed study by the market researcher reveals that the U.S. had a 60.0% share of the worldwide cloud services market in 2009, which is expected to dip by ten percentage points to around 50.0% by 2014, whereas other countries that have started adopting cloud computing more aggressively would account for the growth. Apart from the U.S, Western Europe is expected to capture 23.8% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Palo Alto, California-based VMware Inc. (VMW) announced that it has been proclaimed the leader in the Server Virtualization space by the U.S.-based research firm, Gartner Inc. Gartner has placed VMware in the “Leader&#8221; quadrant of its Magic Quadrant (MQ), for the company’s contribution toward x86 server virtualization infrastructure. The MQ is a research tool providing in-depth qualitative analysis of a market and its current affairs. VMware launched its x86 virtualization technology in February 1999, to facilitate programmers to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on an x86 computer in a safe and efficient manner. Recent research reveals that the virtualization space will grow in conjunction with rapid growth in cloud computing. Hence, we believe that VMware, a leader in virtualization technology, would be able to capitalize on this growth opportunity. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, MarketWatch railed against investing in small-cap stocks. And not just some small column buried in a deep, dark place on their website either… it was a feature article. It states that investors might be “tempted to chase small-caps’ hot returns, be careful not to hop the last car of the train… small caps probably have seen their best days in this rally.” Thanks for the oh-so prescient call, fellas. But why the heck should we believe you? After all, I don’t recall you ringing the dinner bell to chow down on small caps in November 2008, December 2008, or January 2009, like I did. Okay, enough of the self-promotion. But if the MarketWatch folks couldn’t spot the bottom back then, what makes them so sure they can ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sun Microsystems, Inc. (JAVA) said that its new Sun Fire X4640 server based on the Six-Core AMD Opteron processor is better than the servers provided by International Business Machines (IBM), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and NEC Express. The new server helps customers increase data center efficiency and helps virtualization and consolidation. Sun’s newly launched server lines, particularly the x86 group, are performing better than expected and will lead to an improvement in the financial position of the company. The company said that its Sun Fire X4640 server provides 21% better performance than an eight-processor HP ProLiant DL785 G6 system that utilized faster CPUs and ran the Windows OS. Moreover, it gives 33% better performance than a 16-processor NEC Express 5800 server and 2.7x the performance of a four-processor IBM System 550 server. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CEO John Chambers outlined Cisco Systems’ (CSCO) growth strategy at the company’s analyst day. Other than a reiteration of its long-term revenue growth target of 12-17% a year and its plans of expanding into 30 market adjacencies, management stated that it intends to focus on data centers, video and collaboration. Smartphones are not a targeted market, since prospects of capturing a leading market share are limited. Management also expects to strengthen its services business, which is currently a low-end affair, primarily focused on the maintenance of previously installed Cisco equipment. Management is on its way to establishing what it calls a Unified Computing System (UCS). The first step in the process was the launch of Cisco blade servers in March this year. The servers are central to the company’s data ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[VMware Inc. (VMW) reported third-quarter results after the closing bell on Wednesday. The company posted a 54.1% decline on GAAP net income to $38.2 million from $83.3 million in the year-ago period. Excluding certain non-recurring items, adjusted earnings per share came in at 11 cents, edging past the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. The company recorded a growth of 3.7% to $489.8 million, compared to $472.1 million in the year-ago quarter. The expansion was primarily driven by the US federal sector Incorporatedreased transaction volumes and growth in maintenance renewals. It was partially offset by the sluggish corporate spending environment, which affected VMware&#8217;s license revenues. In terms of geographic regions, U.S. revenues slipped 1% year over year to $246 million, while international revenues grew 9% to $244 million driven by ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Wall Street Journal, EMC Corp. (EMC) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) will form a new joint venture. EMC is a leader in the storage hardware and software segment while Cisco is a leading provider of IP-based networking and other products. The Journal cited that the joint venture would provide data center services to large businesses and would use Cisco’s new blade server for data centers. However, both the companies declined to provide further details. EMC had agreements with Cisco earlier. The strategic alliance with Cisco in the data center and security business as well as enterprise market enables EMC to drive new growth opportunities within large virtualized next-gen data centers and help target the company’s next generation virtualization efforts. We believe this relationship with Cisco will help EMC compete ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are initiating coverage of EMC Corporation (EMC) with a Neutral rating and a $16 price target. Our rating is based on the following thesis: EMC holds a leadership position in the storage hardware and software segment. The information storage business is EMC’s largest segment (78.0% of fiscal 2008 revenue). The company has reasserted its market leadership in the important high-end storage product category with the recent launch of V-MAX, its new Symmetrix line. Moreover, the new V-MAX product could help EMC gain additional market share in the cloud computing space. Successive acquisitions have helped EMC build a strong portfolio of products, which provides tough competition to large software vendors. The recent acquisition of Data Domain, a provider of storage solutions for backup and archive applications based on deduplication technology, ]]></description>
