The combination of a balanced portfolio of business lines and the performance of virtualization trailblazer VMWare results in EMC’s strongest financial quarter ever.

If you are numbers person, try these on for size:

• US $3.3 Billion - total consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2007
• US $718 Million - operating cash flow
• US $189 Million - revenue for EMC’s Content Management and Archiving business representing double-digit growth

Do these numbers surprise you? They shouldn’t as this makes seventeen consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth.

Congratulations to EMC on yet another remarkable quarter financially.

While it remains to be seen if EMC will be able to maintain this rate of growth during the looming economic downturn, there is no denying their self-proclaimed title of “world leader in information infrastructure solutions”.

EMC Documentum is a leading player in the enterprise content management space. That’s not news. What is, is the way the company has, with the release of Documentum v6 (D6), embraced Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) as a first-class principle in its core architecture.

For all the CMS administrators who wish there was a way to avoid pushing gigabytes of information to a web server when there are only a handful of changes, Armedia has a solution for those of you saddled with EMC Documentum as a content management system.

Along with the pleasure of growth comes the familiar pain of multilingual translation.

Translation, a process that seems simple enough, actually requires great skill - not all subcultures or age groups communicate in the same way. Then there’s the matter of localization, or better tailoring a product to a certain market, which is also an oft-overlooked element of interpretation.

The point: translation is complex. With that in mind, Language Weaver and Armedia have jointly released Machine Language Translation for the enterprise CMS community.

EMC provides a glimpse into the future of structured data storage with its acquisition of X-Hive Corporation, an industry leader in the XML-based data management arena.

Who doesn’t love AJAX? It alters a site’s content without users having to reload. It’s rendered the pageview virtually worthless, inspiring Nielsen/BuzzMetrics to pursue a time-based site tracking model for calculating the popularity of sites. And in many ways, its availability is one manner of gauging the hip-with-it-ness of a site.

As with any snazzy and hype-ridden new technology, there is reason to take caution.

Anytime a software company announces a complete revision of its flagship product, its a momentous occasion for existing customers. When that company is EMC and the product in question is Documentum, then the entire industry stands up to take notice.

Before everyone gets swept up in the pomp and circumstance, however, let’s keep a few things in mind.

Everyone’s favorite self-proclaimed world leader in Enterprise CMS and information infrastructure, EMC Corp, just announced the EMC Rainfinity File Management Appliance (FMA). The new offering aims to provide lower storage costs and automated archiving and compliance policies across server and network attached storage (NAS) environments. And with a name like Rainfinity, how it could it possibly fail?

It’s a beautiful thing when people get together and form relationships. But Oracle and EMC, which recently announced a plan to support Oracle Database, are truly a match made in enterprise heaven.

Recent developments within this pleasant relationship lend customers the ability to successfully deploy Oracle Database 11g across all of EMC’s major platforms. Talk about an elegant solution.

Mary Laplante of The Gilbane Group will discuss state-of-the-art content practices for technical publications during a free, interactive one-hour webinar.

The event, sponsored by Idiom Technologies and EMC, will feature interviews by Bill Rabkin, Globalization Evangelist at Idiom and EMC Senior Product Marketing Manager Greg Dierickse.

A new report by Dublin, Ireland-based Research and Markets finds that the enterprise content management market will hit US$3.5 billion by 2012 if it continues to grow the way it has been.

Less than three months after announcing the availability of their affectionately named Compliance in a Box turn-key solution, Impact Systems announces their first production deployment of the product.

Until recently we’ve all thought of Iron Mountain as little more than a backup tape shipping and storage business. While offsite maintenance of tapes is a necessary pain of IT existence (and has been a successful endeavor), recent acquisitions and partnerships have demonstrated that Iron Mountain is headed into quite a new arena. The high dollar records management space would appear to be the company’s new calling and they’ve just put some serious resources behind it.

If you are one of the 55,000 shared customers of EMC/Documentum and Oracle, then you just might be excited about the recently announced EMC Information Infrastructure for Oracle. If you’re not a customer, stick around anyway and find out what all the hubbub is about.

Unless you’ve been living on a boat or a remote island for the last few years, you might have noticed a strong increase in the number of wi-fi-connected locations sprouting up. Indeed, wi-fi access points are popping up like wild mushrooms (even in cars!), and the fact that many of these networks remain unsecured is cause for concern.
