EMC Acquires Watch4Net

Excerpt: EMC Corp. (EMCAnalyst Report) is on an acquisition spree. Recently, the leading storage vendor announced the acquisition of Montreal based privately-held Watch4Net Solutions Inc. in an all cash transaction.

To date, this is EMC’s fourth acquisition in 2012….we believe that the most-recent acquisition will provide EMC a significant competitive edge in these markets, where it faces stiff competition from Hewlett-Packard (HPQAnalyst Report), International Business Machines Corp. (IBMAnalyst Report), Oracle Corp. (ORCLAnalyst Report), SAP AG (SAPAnalyst Report) and Dell Inc. (DELLAnalyst Report).
