Building on a common goal to help customers extend the use of Windows in networked storage environments, EMC Corporation and Microsoft Corporation today announced that they have extended their strategic business and technology relationship for storage.
The significantly broader and deeper agreement--unveiled today by Joe Tucci, EMC's President and CEO, and Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, at the annual EMC Technology Summit--involves tighter collaboration and integration of networked storage technologies and offerings. Included in the expanded licensing and technology agreement are: integration of Windows storage technologies, new marketing and sales initiatives, and new service and support agreements. The results of these efforts will be improved manageability and seamless integration of Windows® technology in automated networked storage environments.
