This post might seem highly irrevelant to most that frequent The Geek, however to me it is a topic of interest merely because it shows how words are twisted in big business to make things seem otherwise.
So NetApp has acquired data security experts and implementors, DeCru. This is old news, (The Register reported on 16 June, however the implications to me at least seem like they’re going to be somewhat large. For instance, reading through the article it states that other storage companies had partnerships with DeCru as well. And sure, NetApp will run DeCru as a separate operation, but that’s like having Microsoft buying Intel and then having Apple come use Intel chips as well. How can you objectively do cost pricing and what not in a fair manner for other companies? Am I the only one vexxed by this?
