EMC brushed off Eger's comments. This is a lot of bluster from a company that doesnt have much, Mark Fredrickson, VP of corporate communications at EMC told Byte and Switch. He added that EMC in fact owns a small percentage of Nishan, so the companies do already have a relationship.
Meanwhile Nishan is preparing for war. In four weeks time the company plans to hold a demonstration of its IP storage switch, carrying traffic over a major U.S. telcos coast-to-coast network. Cisco, IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM), and Juniper Networks Inc. (Nasdaq: JNPR) are expected to participate. Interestingly, EMC hasnt signed up.
The next six months is going to be a testing time for Nishan, says Eger.
