Dell to acquire EMC in $67 billion record tech deal
這肯定是PC 產業的大新聞. EMC的儲存及雲端基礎建設服務對DELL是很大的轉型助力.
整個產業的競爭架構都變了.
"I don’t think either Dell or EMC were viable over the long run as a standalone; they really needed each other," said Eric Johnson, dean of the Owen School of Management at Vanderbilt University. "Dell was mostly on the consumer side, which is a terrible place to be. EMC had some enterprise products, but not the complete package."
EMC shares rose 1 percent to $28.15 after earlier jumping more than 2.5 percent.
EMC's board has approved the merger and will recommend that shareholders do so as well.
The merger agreement includes a 60-day 'go-shop' provision that allows EMC to solicit bids from other parties and pay a discounted breakup fee to Dell if a deal is made with another company, as Reuters first reported on Sunday.
Activist hedge fund Elliott Management, which has a 2.2 percent stake in EMC and had been calling for a break-up of the company, welcomed the deal with Dell and said it was the best outcome for EMC shareholders.
"Elliott is pleased to participate in VMware`s ongoing upside through the tracking stock, which will benefit from both meaningful synergies as part of Dell's organization as well as far greater liquidity than VMware shares have today," Jesse Cohn, senior portfolio manager at Elliott, said in a statement.
The deal will be financed through a combination of new equity from Dell's owners - founder and Chief Executive Michael Dell, its investment firm MSD Partners, private equity firm Silver Lake and Singapore state-owned investor Temasek Holdings - as well as the issuance of the tracking stock, new debt and cash on hand.
The debt package put together for the transaction exceeds $40 billion, while Dell's owners will invest more than $3 billion as new equity in the deal, said a person familiar with matter who asked not to be identified as the information was not public.
Morgan Stanley, Evercore Partners Inc, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP advised EMC.
Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP offered legal advice to Dell and Silver Lake. Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is legal advisor to Michael Dell and MSD Partners.
EMC要求在收購協議中納入尋購條款(go-shop provision)，讓該公司可以徵求其他公司的收購出價，若欲與其他公司達成新合併協議，可支付一定折價費用後與戴爾拆夥。
整個產業的競爭架構都變了.
Computer maker Dell Inc said on Monday it had agreed to buy data storage company EMC Corp in a $67 billion (USD$ 670億) record technology deal that will unite two mature companies and create an enterprise technology powerhouse.
The acquisition will help privately held Dell diversify from a stagnant personal-computer market and give it greater scale in the more profitable and faster-growing market for managing and storing data.
Combining Dell's server businesses with EMC's storage and virtualization assets, the merged company will have a broader product offering with which to challenge IBM Corp, Cisco Systems Inc and Hewlett-Packard Co in the areas of cloud computing, mobility and cyber security.
"I don’t think either Dell or EMC were viable over the long run as a standalone; they really needed each other," said Eric Johnson, dean of the Owen School of Management at Vanderbilt University. "Dell was mostly on the consumer side, which is a terrible place to be. EMC had some enterprise products, but not the complete package."
- 購併內容
The deal valued EMC at $33.15 a share as of the end of trading Friday. Dell will pay $24.05 per share in cash and will also give EMC shareholders a special stock that tracks the share price in VMWare Inc, the virtual software provider majority-owned by EMC.
EMC shares rose 1 percent to $28.15 after earlier jumping more than 2.5 percent.
VMware shares plunged nearly 10 percent to $70.96, decreasing the value of Dell's offer.
VMware will remain an independent, publicly traded company.
EMC's board has approved the merger and will recommend that shareholders do so as well.
'GO SHOP'
The merger agreement includes a 60-day 'go-shop' provision that allows EMC to solicit bids from other parties and pay a discounted breakup fee to Dell if a deal is made with another company, as Reuters first reported on Sunday.
- 潛在適合者
While IBM, Cisco, Oracle Corp and Hewlett-Packard could potentially be suitors for EMC, the chances of them challenging Dell with a rival offer are slim, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
"We view this as a good outcome for EMC shareholders after a nightmarish few years of slowing growth and an antiquated federated strategy," said FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives.
Activist hedge fund Elliott Management, which has a 2.2 percent stake in EMC and had been calling for a break-up of the company, welcomed the deal with Dell and said it was the best outcome for EMC shareholders.
"Elliott is pleased to participate in VMware`s ongoing upside through the tracking stock, which will benefit from both meaningful synergies as part of Dell's organization as well as far greater liquidity than VMware shares have today," Jesse Cohn, senior portfolio manager at Elliott, said in a statement.

（路透紐約12日電）美國電腦大廠戴爾（Dell）今天宣布，戴爾以每股約33.15美元收購美國數據儲存巨擘EMC，交易總值約670億美元（2.18兆台幣），這是全球科技業史上最大宗的併購案。
由於全球PC需求日漸下滑，PC市佔排名老三的戴爾希望透過收購EMC，從PC製造跨足至為企業儲存與管理數據。為企業提供此類技術服務是個快速成長且獲利豐厚的市場。
戴爾每股出價33.15美元，EMC股東每股可獲得現金24.05美元，以及EMC雲端軟體子公司VMware追蹤股0.111股。VMware未來仍將維持獨立上市。
EMC要求在收購協議中納入尋購條款(go-shop provision)，讓該公司可以徵求其他公司的收購出價，若欲與其他公司達成新合併協議，可支付一定折價費用後與戴爾拆夥。
理論上，適合EMC的公司還有國際商業機器公司（IBM）、思科系統公司（Cisco Systems Inc）和惠普（HP）等，但是EMC目前市值約在536億美元，其他公司出面與戴爾競逐的機會不大。
不過尋購條款存在，對收購者而言是風險。
如2013年創辦人麥可o戴爾與銀湖資產管理（Silver Lake Management LLC）為收購戴爾電腦時，尋購條款讓私募基金投資客伊卡恩（Carl Icahn）與百仕通集團（Blackstone）有機會競價。在伊卡恩與其他股東的競價之下，收購價最終推高至249億美元之譜。
戴爾公司是美國資訊科技企業，提供各類電腦及相關產品，如個人電腦、伺服器、儲存系統、軟體和週邊服務等，1984年成立，總部位於德州圓石城（RoundRock）。
EMC公司是美國最大的數據儲存及管理供應商，研發並提供企業資訊基礎建設、虛擬化基礎架構軟硬體及服務，成立於1979年，總部設在麻州霍浦金頓（Hopkinton）。中央社（翻譯）

亚马逊全球CTO眼中的云计算发展八大趋势
[摘要]沃纳·威格尔认为，云让一切变得智能化，同时将让工业物联网化。
沃纳•威格尔
腾讯科技 徐安娜 3月2日报道
亚马逊AWS能取得今天的成就要归功于一个人，不是CEO杰夫•贝索斯，而是被称为“引领云计算成为主流的功臣”沃纳•威格尔（Werner Vogels），他是亚马逊全球副总裁兼CTO。
威格尔负责推动亚马逊公司的技术愿景，以及全球范围内基于亚马逊的用户需求的持续创新。他是一名知名的博客写手，近期他撰写了一篇预测未来云计算发展趋势的稿子。
全文如下：
2014年，我们见证了云计算如何推动消费产品和企业级产品领域的伟大创新，而成为不同规模组织的新常态。如今，云计算已成为推动诸多企业创新的引擎。
其中不仅包括Dropbox、 Airbnb、Pinterest、Hailo、WeTransfer 和Soundcloud等新兴企业，也包括百时美施贵宝（Bristol-Myers Squibb）、壳牌、联合利华和 西班牙曼弗雷保险集团等成熟企业。
与此同时，我们也看到大量的中国企业也通过云计算加速了创新的步伐，更快的拓展国际市场。
小米正通过云计算服务全球范围的智能手机用户；远景能源通过云计算管理着世界各地的智能风场；猎豹移动通过云计算为全球的用户提供手机安全的保障。
毫无疑问，云计算已经产生了广泛的影响。以下是我总结的未来云计算发展的八大趋势：
第一，云分析将无处不在。
云分析几乎影响着每位消费者和每个商业领域。通常，消费者不会注意到云，因为云在不同的应用程序的身后提供支持。但云分析正变得越来越普遍。从零售建议到基于基因学的产品开发，从金融风险管理到初创企业衡量其新产品的效果，从数字营销到快速处理临床试验数据，这些领域都通过借助基于云分析而达到新的水平。
AWS（Amazon Web Services）已经清晰的看到了这一趋势，因为我们的数据仓库服务Amazon Redshift已经成为公司历史上增长最快的云服务。我们甚至发现，Amazon Redshift是许多企业使用的第一个云服务。随着越来越多的企业开始了解分析对其发展的作用，我们预计该服务能够在2015年实现爆发式增长。
第二，云将实现自助分析。
过去，组织内部的分析系统处于旧式IT的最顶点：在专用硬件上运行一个集中式数据仓库。在现代企业中，这种情况是不能接受的。在帮助业务部门变得更加敏捷、更快速地响应业务需求并开发客户真正需要的产品方面，分析发挥着至关重要的作用。但这种集中式、不够灵活的旧式数据仓库模式往往使企业用户陷入困境。而基于云的分析完全改变了这种情况。
业务部门现在借助云服务的资源，在云中迅速创建自己的数据仓库，并可根据其需求和预算选择数据仓库的规模和速度。它可以是一个在白天运行、拥有2个节点的小型数据仓库，也可以是一个仅在星期四下午运行几个小时、拥有1000个节点的大型数据仓库，或是一个在夜间运行，以在第二天向工作人员提供所需数据的数据仓库。
全球商业出版物《金融时报》如何使用分析就是一个很好的例子。《金融时报》拥有120年的历史，已经在诸多方面进行了变革，它通过使用云来运行商业智能（BI）工作负载，得以分析所有报道，使报纸更加个性化，为读者提供更加定制化的阅读体验，彻底地改变向读者提供内容的方式。
借助新的商业智能系统，《金融时报》每天能够实时分析140篇报道，并提高完成分析任务的敏捷性，分析所需时间从几个月缩短到几天。此外，《金融时报》也扩展了其商业智能，以更有针对性地向读者提供广告。通过使用Amazon Redshift，《金融时报》每天能够处理1.2亿个独立事件，并集成内部日志和外部数据源，为读者打造一份更加动态的报纸。
第三，云让一切变得智能化。
近来，一切都可以变得“智能化”—— 智能手表、智能衣服、智能电视、智能家居和智能汽车。绝大多数的智能设备的软件都是在云端运行的。
无论是家里的温控器、手腕上的活动跟踪器，还是漂亮的超高清电视上的智能电影推荐，它们都由在云上运行的分析引擎驱动。由于这些智能产品的“智能”存在于云中，这也催生了新一代设备。实现了路灯照明的智能化的飞利浦CityTouch就是一个很好的例子。
飞利浦CityTouch是适用于整个城市的智能路灯管理系统。它提供联网的道路照明解决方案，允许整个郊区和城市智能的地控制路灯照明，做到实时管理天黑后的环境。城市管理人员能够在人流量较高的街道上保持良好的照明，在恶劣天气或环境光线过暗时增加亮度，或者在人烟稀少的工业区调暗灯光。
这项技术已经被应用于布拉格和伦敦郊区等地。CityTouch正在使用云作为后端技术来运行该系统，并从路灯上安装的传感器收集的大量数据中提取有价值的信息。这些数据使城市管理人员更好地了解天黑后城市的情况，并采用更有效的照明管理计划，避免过多的光污染对城市居民和野生动物造成不良影响。
第四，云分析将改善城市生活。
云分析能够利用城市环境信息来改善世界各地城市居民的生活条件。芝加哥正在进行的工作就是一个很好的例子。芝加哥是首批在全市范围内安装传感器来永久测量空气质量、光强度、音量、热量、降水、风和交通的城市之一。
来自这些传感器的数据流入云中进行分析，用于发掘改善居民生活的方式。芝加哥的“Array of Things”项目收集的数据集将在云上公开，以供研究人员寻找分析数据的创新方法。
许多城市已经表示有兴趣效仿芝加哥使用云来改善城市生活，并且很多欧洲的城市已经开始行动，比如英国的彼得伯勒市议会。彼得伯勒市议会公开其收集的数据集，让当地社区参与创新。人们将议会公布的不同数据集进行整合。
例如，人们可以把犯罪数据和天气情况关联起来，帮助议会了解在炎热天气中是否会发生更多的入室盗窃案，以便他们更好地分配当地警力，或把就医数据与天气情况关联起来，发现其中的趋势和模式。在云的帮助下，这些数据开始向大众开放，以推动创新。
第五，云将实现工业物联网。
当我们想到物联网（IoT）时，我们通常重点关注物联网对消费者而言意味着什么。但在2015年，我们将见证一个不同的物联网的崛起——工业物联网。工业机械将与互联网连接，把数据传输到云中，以获得有关使用情况的洞察、提高效率，避免停机。
无论是通用电气给燃气涡轮机安装仪表、壳牌公司在油井中放置传感器、凯驰配备工业清洗机车队，还是建筑工地使用Deconstruction的传感器，所有这些都将连续地向云发送数据流，以供实时分析。
第六，云将实现视频分析。
长久以来，视频仅用于存档、回放和观看。借助云强大的处理能力，一个新的趋势应运而生：把视频当作数据流来进行分析。这被称为视频内容分析（VCA），适用于零售、运输等多个领域。
一个常见的应用领域就是在装有摄像头的地方，如商场和大型零售商店。视频分析可以帮助商场了解人流模式。分析可以提供了人流量、停留时间以及其它统计信息。这使零售商能够改善其商店布局和店内营销效果。
另一种常见的应用领域是音乐会等大型活动的实时人群分析，以了解整个场地的人流情况、预防拥堵，从而改善参与者的体验。交通部门也利用类似的方式疏导交通、监测高速公路上的停滞车辆和高速铁路上的物体以及其它运输问题。
另一个把视频内容分析运用在消费领域的创新的例子是Dropcam。Dropcam对联网摄像头传送的视频进行分析，为客户提供警报。Dropcam是目前最大的互联网视频内容生产源，其向云中传输的数据流比YouTube还要多。
VCA也成为体育管理的一个重要工具。球队正在使用视频分析来从不同的角度分析球员。例如，在一场英超比赛中，球队利用许多记录下来的视频流的分析数据，来改善球员的表现，并推动具体的训练计划。
美国职业棒球大联盟（MLB）的棒球队正在使用视频分析在赛场的电视屏幕上提供更好的实时分析,而美国橄榄球大联盟（NFL）正在使用VCA自动制作橄榄球比赛的精简版本，使视频时长缩短60%-70%。
第七，云将实现安全的分析。
从网购到医疗再到家庭自动化，分析在如此多的新领域得到应用，因而分析数据的安全性和私密性变得至关重要。在存储和分析引擎中深度集成加密功能并让用户能够拥有密钥，确保了只有这些服务的使用者有权访问数据。
第八，云将改变医疗分析。
数据分析正迅速成为分析健康危险因素和改善病人护理的核心。尽管医疗行业面临降低成本和优化病人护理水平，云正在发挥着至关重要的作用，并帮助实现数字化医疗。
云支持创新的解决方案，如飞利浦Healthsuite——一个管理医疗数据，并为医生和患者提供支持的平台。飞利浦Healthsuite数字化平台分析并存储着从3.9亿个影像检查、病历和患者输入中收集的15PB的患者数据，为医务人员提供可操作数据，这些数据可以直接影响病患照护。
这正在彻底变革着世界各地几十亿人的医疗现状。在2015年及以后，我们预计可以看到云在推动患者诊断和治疗方面发挥更大的作用。

Top 5 Industries for Entrepreneurs
As a serial entrepreneur, I’ve had experience in a number of different industries. I’ve helped launch or fund companies in sectors as varied as transportation, technology, entertainment, real estate, restaurants, energy, and insurance. Given this experience, I’m often asked what industries I think are hot for entrepreneurs.
It’s an important question as the rate of entrepreneurship continues to rise and many Americans try to identify what industries offer the best prospects for employment.
So which five industries hold the most promise for entrepreneurs? Based on my own anecdotal insights and job-growth projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, I believe that the following five industries are particularly hot for entrepreneurs.
- Internet and Data Services: This industry may seem obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning. The growth in technology – especially mobile technology – will continue to fuel online growth and the need for data services. I believe that online business growth rise will continue through the next decade, and our reliance on e-commerce will increase. We’re going through another tech revolution where more of our lives are conducted online. That creates immense for entrepreneurs. Coupled with the advances in metrics and data analysis, companies are hungry for information on their clients/customers. That is why this sector is projected to be among the top industries to start and grow a business in the coming decade.
Computer Systems and Software Services:Everywhere you look, big data and software dominate and data technology has quickly become the essence of the 21st century. Thanks to this reliance, I anticipate that our economy will add many more software jobs in the coming years. A great aspect of software services is that they create the need for more software (think eBay needingPayPal to process transactions quickly and securely). Of course, the growth of the now infamous cloud will create demand for even more software. Software is used everywhere and new uses emerge each day. For example, I’m advising a company that uses software to help doctors view charts and images from their phones, helping them diagnose conditions remotely and encouraging more preventive medicine.
- Accounting Services: As new financial and banking regulations are implemented, the need for accounting and audit services will rise. This sector has a number of opportunities for entrepreneurs and its growth has been evident recently. According to a recent article in Entrepreneur, private accounting firms have seen profits rise 20.9% in the last year.
- Business Consulting: As the economy rebounds, more businesses are created and expand. This growth results in more need for management and technical consultants. Business consultants are likely to do well because many businesses will need help drafting business plans, strategies, marketing campaigns, and budgets.

Finally, businesses will need consultants specializing in government compliance to help navigate the federal government’s complex web of regulations (similar to the growth seen by accounting services).

Each year, over 12 million people receive home health care services, according to the National Association for Home Care. As the
Baby Boom generation continues to age, the need for home health will rise considerably. This “graying of America” presents a number of opportunities for innovative entrepreneurs.
