EMC acquires Internosis

EMC, the storage and information management giant, has acquired a privately held services company called Internosis.

Internosis, a Greenbelt, Md.-based company, focuses on IT strategy, application development, infrastructure and managed services for corporations that use Microsoft applications.

"As a best-of-breed provider of services and solutions in Microsoft-oriented application infrastructure and development, Internosis significantly expands EMC's services reach and capabilities," Derrell James, EMC Technology Solutions senior vice president, said in a statement.

Internosis will become the Microsoft Practice within EMC Technology Solutions, the company's professional services group. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition follows on the heels of EMC's announcement last week that it plans to cut about 1,000 positions, or roughly 4 percent of its work force, as it restructures.

Hopkinton, Mass.-based EMC made two other acquisitions in the fall. One involved data archiving specialist Acartus. The other was a $275 million deal to acquire Captiva Software, which transforms paper documents into digital copies.

Microsoft is helping the Chinese Government eliminate the free press.

Microsoft deleted a blog that was on U.S. Soil. Because the Chinese government was scared of the information presented in this blog.

This blog

- Did not violate any known law in China
- Did NOT CONTAIN any illicit material
- Contained information important to the Chinese people.
- Was a newsworthy log
- Was stored on U.S. servers

Think about it, Microsoft deleted news worthy, wholesome content from U.S. soil. They are violating the U.S. constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech.

Further they are even violating Microsoft's own code of conduct regarding these accounts. AS NO LAWS WERE BROKEN IN CHINA OR THE UNITED STATED.

This logger did not break any laws. His blog was full of useful, wholesome, important information that was for the benefit of the Chinese people.

Mr. Bono, if really a friend of Bill Gates, should explain (and understand) that people need the ability to express themselves. Something which Mr. Bono and Mr. Gates enjoy.

But something that Microsoft (the company) doesn't care about.

Microsft seems to have done a Repressive Act on U.S. soil, and their sole motivation was the profit.
