EMC wird Isilon für rund 2,25 Mrd. US-Dollar übernehmen
WIEN – 16. November 2010 – EMC hat heute die Unterzeichnung eines Abkommens für die
Akquisition von Isilon Systems Inc. bekannt gegeben. Das Unternehmen mit Sitz
in Seattle (Washington) ist führender Anbieter so genannter „Scale-out
NAS“-Lösungen – ein stark wachsender Markt, dem IDC ein Volumen von sechs Mrd.
US-Dollar bis 2014 prognostiziert. Im Zuge der Transaktion wird EMC für Isilon
33,85 US-Dollar je Aktie in bar bezahlen, was einem Gesamtvolumen von rund 2,25
Mrd. US-Dollar entspricht. Die Akquisition soll noch bis Ende des Jahres
abgeschlossen werden und hat voraussichtlich keine Auswirkungen auf den EMC
GAAP und non-GAAP EPS für das Geschäftsjahr 2010. Für das kommende
Geschäftsjahr geht das Unternehmen von einem positiven Beitrag des non-GAAP für
2011 aus.
Zusammen mit EMCs Atmos
erhalten Kunden mit den Produkten von Isilon eine hoch skalierbare,
kostengünstige Storage-Infrastruktur zur Verwaltung der stetig steigenden
Datenmengen („Big Data“), die durch eine neue Generation von Applikationen
entsteht. Mit Atmos lassen sich riesige Informationsmengen automatisch auf
Speichersysteme rund um den Globus verteilen.
EMC erwartet, dass durch die
Kombination von EMC Atmos und Isilon der Umsatz im zweiten Halbjahr 2012 ein
Volumen von einer Mrd. US-Dollar erreicht.

About
ISILON
As a global leader in scale-out storage, Isilon
delivers powerful yet simple solutions for enterprises that want to manage
their data, not their storage. Isilon’s
products are simple to install, manage and scale, at any size. And, unlike
traditional architectures, Isilon stays simple no matter how much storage is
added, how much performance is required or how business needs change in the
future. We're challenging enterprises to think differently about their storage,
because when they do, they'll recognize there’s a better, simpler way. Learn

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains
"forward-looking statements" as defined under the Federal Securities
Laws. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors, including but
not limited to: (i) adverse changes in general economic or market conditions;
(ii) delays or reductions in information technology spending; (iii) our ability
to protect our proprietary technology; (iv) risks associated with managing the
growth of our business, including risks associated with acquisitions and
investments and the challenges and costs of integration, restructuring and
achieving anticipated synergies; (v) fluctuations in VMware, Inc.'s operating
results and risks associated with trading of VMware stock; (vi) competitive
factors, including but not limited to pricing pressures and new product
introductions; (vii) the relative and varying rates of product price and component
cost declines and the volume and mixture of product and services revenues;
(viii) component and product quality and availability; (ix) the transition to
new products, the uncertainty of customer acceptance of new product offerings
and rapid technological and market change; (x) insufficient, excess or obsolete
inventory; (xi) war or acts of terrorism; (xii) the ability to attract and
retain highly qualified employees; (xiii) fluctuating currency exchange rates;
(xiv) the expected benefits, costs, timing of completion and ability to
complete the transaction; and (xv) other one-time events and other important
factors disclosed previously and from time to time in EMC's and/or Isilon's
filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. EMC and Isilon disclaim
any obligation to update any such forward-looking statements after the date of
this release.
This release also contains statements
on EMC's business outlook for 2010. These statements on business outlook are
based on current expectations. These statements on business outlook are also
forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. These statements do
not give effect to the potential impact of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures
or business combinations that may be announced or consummated after the date
hereof.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains non-GAAP
financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are used as
measures of EMC's performance or liquidity, should be considered in addition
to, not as a substitute for, measures of EMC's financial performance or
liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. EMC's non-GAAP financial measures
may be defined differently from time to time and may be defined differently
than similar terms used by other companies, and accordingly, care should be
exercised in understanding how EMC defines its non-GAAP financial measures in
this release.
Where specified in this release,
certain items noted (including, where noted, amounts relating to restructuring
and acquisition-related charges, stock-based compensation expense and
intangible asset amortization) are excluded from the non-GAAP financial
measures.
EMC's management uses the non-GAAP
financial measures in the release to gain an understanding of EMC's comparative
operating performance (when comparing such results with previous periods or
forecasts) and future prospects and excludes the above-listed items from its
internal financial statements for purposes of its internal budgets and each
reporting segment's financial goals. These non-GAAP financial measures are used
by EMC's management in their financial and operating decision-making because
management believes they reflect EMC's ongoing business in a manner that allows
meaningful period-to-period comparisons. EMC's management believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others
(a) in understanding and evaluating EMC's current operating performance and
future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose, and (b)
in comparing in a consistent manner the Company's current financial results
with the Company's past financial results.
All of the foregoing non-GAAP
financial measures have limitations. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial
measures that exclude the items noted above do not include all items of income
and expense that affect EMC's operations. Further, these non-GAAP financial
measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be comparable to
non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and do not reflect any
benefit that such items may confer on EMC. Management compensates for these
limitations by also considering EMC's financial results as determined in
accordance with GAAP.
