3Par : Dell Vs Hp Push and Pull
3PAR Inc, known to most for its canary yellow storage systems on a black background, has been sailing with a stock on the stock market for at least ten years that has remained stable at $10, but never rose above $15. Now, after the first acquisition proposal by Dell and the very recent proposal by HP, it finds itself with a stock inflated at $25.
Dell, in addition to having acquired Equallogic more than two years ago, on which it focuses its enterprise proposals, also has an excellent partnership with EMC, so it is not explained how they can strategically propose 3Par solutions to replace the current excellent storage systems.
Hp on the other hand, has acquired Lefthand, an iSCSI storage software that has now become HP P4000, about two years ago, and in addition to the well-known list of storage solutions, with the intention of acquiring 3Par, what does it intend to do?
How much do certain acquisitions yield and are useful to a corporation, what or which product/service of 3Par is so attractive, or which customer or partner?
