This morning before its earnings call, EMC issued a press release stating it had acquired controlling interesting in the joint venture (JV) known as VCE. The JV was created by Cisco and EMC with minority investments from VMware and Intel to create the converged infrastructure market. Following the acquisition, EMC will own 90% of the JV, with Cisco maintaining about a 10% stake in the company.The companies formed VCE to develop an integrated, validated, pre-tested converged solution that customers could use to stand up a private cloud in just a few days.

The FTC today got $10 million to settle charges against three sets of defendants to settle charges that they operated a massive scam that sent unwanted text messages to millions of consumers, many of whom later received illegal robocalls, phony "free" merchandise offers, and unauthorized charges crammed on their mobile phone bills.The FTC said the settlements were the culmination of an effort to crack down on the senders of unwanted text messages offering consumers "free" gift cards to retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart and Target. The messages contained links to websites that led consumers through a process that the FTC alleges was designed to get consumers' personal information for sale to marketers, their mobile phone numbers to cram unwanted charges on their bill, and to drive them to paid subscriptions for which the scammers received affiliate referral fees.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
