EMC has bought cloud storage start-up Syncplicity, which, as one might suspect from its name, does one-click file syncing and sharing as well as real-time backup.
Users are supposed to be able to access, manage and share files across PCs, Macs, mobile platforms and file servers like SharePoint, corporate networks and cloud applications like Google Docs and SalesForce without moving a file.
The enterprise can delete files from user accounts or revoke access, offering a way for companies to deal with the BYOD wave.
EMC means to develop an enterprise version of the stuff tied to Documentum and other repositories like SharePoint spiffed up with corporate governance. It also means to retain Syncplicity’s free and Dropbox-like consumer model and aim it at units inside the enterprise and SMBs.

Report: Asia Pacific Hosted Email Market to Top $234 Million in Five Years
Research and Markets has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan’s new report “Analysis of Asia Pacific Hosted Email Market”.
Hosted Email in Asia Pacific to Accelerate toward $234.7 Million in 2017 as it Gets Integrated into Cloud
Data Security Concerns Need to be Addressed for the Hosted Email Model to Gain Wider Acceptance
Hosted mailboxes are gaining wider representation in the mix of total mailboxes in the Asia Pacific, though its share was only 6 to 9 percent in 2010. Its lower cost of ownership, ability to improve employees’ mobility, and multiple devices accessibility are helping it steadily build on the foothold it gained in the market. Significantly, hosted email’s shift to cloud computing – both public and private cloud – has reduced its overall costs and enhanced its capability of disaster recovery and data protection. Enterprise hosted email service providers need to move their offerings into the cloud space and integrate them with other hosted/cloud unified communications (UC) components, says the analyst of this research.
It also offers the advantages of greater efficiency, larger mailbox space, and not needing expensive software email licenses. Enterprises are expected to turn to hosted emailing for its lower subscription charge with almost no requirement for operation or IT support.
While the larger enterprises tend to gravitate toward the hybrid model of on-premise software and hosted services, most small office home office (SOHO) and small enterprises prefer the free webmail or the subscription model. Global service providers that wish to gain local presence have to battle cultural and user preference for Asians as well as market regulations in emerging markets such as China, India, and the ASEAN. The impending price erosion will also pressure vendors as the market moves toward maturity. Hosted email has not yet become a huge success in the business environment because customers place desire on data security, service reliability, scalability, control, and disaster recovery.

2. Market Overview

Acquisition of Wyse Technology to Extend Dell’s Desktop Virtualization
Dell today announced it has completed its acquisition of Wyse Technology, the global leader in cloud client computing. The combination of Wyse’s capabilities with Dell’s existing desktop virtualization offerings position the company as the leader in the desktop virtualization, enabling it to offer true end-to-end IT solutions for customers and partners.
Dell has made significant strategic investments over the past three years to expand its enterprise technology and services capabilities. The Dell Wyse portfolio with current Dell desktop virtualization offerings, leading data center products such as servers and storage, and Dell’s services division, provides customers and partners with a single vendor that can match the full range of their cloud computing and desktop virtualization needs.
The Dell Wyse solution portfolio includes industry-leading thin, zero and cloud client computing solutions with advanced management, desktop virtualization and cloud software supporting desktops, laptops and next generation mobile devices. Dell Wyse has more than 180 patents, both issued and pending, covering its solutions, software and differentiated intellectual property. Dell’s existing offerings include Desktop Virtualization Solution Simplified and Desktop Virtualization Solution Enterprise.
Dell recognizes it’s critical for the desktop virtualization solutions strategy to embrace simple device management, enhance security, scale, and boost user productivity, while providing the flexibility to support anytime, anywhere access on any device.
Dell plans to preserve Wyse’s channel offerings and all existing Wyse channel partners will be eligible for our PartnerDirect Program. Dell will combine the best of both companies’ channel deal registration programs, extend this new deal registration program to all partners, and introduce a program in which partners can grow and nurture a customer relationship.
“We’re excited to officially welcome Wyse to Dell and help extend its industry-leading efforts to a broader range of customers and partners,” said Jeff Clarke, Dell vice chairman and president, Global Operations and End User Computing Solutions. “We believe the Dell Wyse capabilities, combined with our previous desktop virtualization offerings and the strength of the Dell enterprise portfolio, provides the most comprehensive and competitive DVS solution available today.”
“Wyse and Dell share the vision and passion in helping our customers and partners create a frictionless user experience via the cloud,” said Tarkan Maner, Vice President and General Manager Dell Wyse, Cloud Client Computing.. “Combining our relentless IP innovation and tight operational skills, and most importantly our laser focus on customer and partner advocacy, Dell cloud client computing will develop and deliver the most advanced solutions globally, from the data center to the end user. We are and will be completely focused on the best user experience for any user, for any content, using any app, on any device, anytime, anywhere; without any conflict, compromise and constraint.”
“As a current customer who has deployed Wyse cloud client computing solutions with Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell EqualLogic storage, Western Wayne School District is excited about the combination of Dell and Wyse,” said Brian Seaman, Network Administrator at Western Wayne School District in Pennsylvania. “Like most school districts, Western Wayne operates in a budget constrained environment and our move to desktop virtualization technologies supported with strong enterprise infrastructure has enabled us to do more with less in service of our students and community. In working with Dell and Wyse to scope and deploy our computing environment, Western Wayne now has the right technology to help us achieve our vision of educating our students of today to become the productive citizens of tomorrow.”
“End point computing models continue to evolve and are accelerating tremendous innovation and efficiencies across enterprise desktop and personal computing,” said Bob O’Donnell, vice president, Clients and Displays, IDC. “One area of strong customer growth is in the desktop virtualization space and we expect to see adoption rates continue to grow over the next several years. As use models continue to mature, so do the vendors who offer solutions in this product space. Dell’s acquisition of Wyse results in an industry-leading solutions and services provider with a formidable end-to-end technology stack from the end point to the datacenter to the cloud.”
