EMC Hits New Lows: Page 2 of 2

Then there’s the Brocade/McData issue, writes Kraemer. It turns out that EMC sales people have begun to promote Brocade Communications Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: BRCD) switches over McData Corp.'s (Nasdaq: MCDT). McData was spun out of EMC about two years ago. The Brocade sales bias is likely to cause some friction between the parent and it’s spinoff, analysts say.

Kraemer concludes that EMC could emerge from this battle to refocus and reorganize as a much more formidable storage fighting force, but the price could be an operating loss in the September quarter.
