EMC Purchases Iomega
April 14, 2008 | Random Blackouts
I know it’s a recordable disc and duplicator blog. Being a data storage geek I do have to make mention of this rather interesting development. For all you that don’t know EMC is a Enterprise Storage company, entrenched in the storage systems costing millions of dollars. So with some surprise I read that EMC had purchased Iomega. Iomega makes various consumer level storage devices including a DVD recorder. Some of you older folks might remember the Zip drive (I know it’s still around: I have three SCSI and two ide in a box somewhere, sell you the lot 
)
And yes Iomega makes some low end network storage. Not trying to knock them. Just funny how EMC is looking at a consumer product storage company as an acquisition.
