Dell, EMC Said To Be In Merger Talks

itwbennett writes: According to a Wall Street Journal report, Dell might buy some or all of storage giant EMC (the grain of salt here is that the Journal's report cited unnamed sources, and cautioned that the the companies might not finalize any agreement.) If the report has it right, though, 'a total merger would be one of the biggest deals ever in the technology industry,' writes Stephen Lawson for the IDG News Service, 'with EMC holding a market value of about US$50 billion. It would also bring together two of the most important vendors to enterprise IT departments.'
