The transaction would result in the majority of EMC’s famous Federation structure going private, with only VMware maintaining a small presence on public markets. This is the same public stake that VMware currently trades as.

Seriously, there is a Pepsi smartphone coming our way

Posted on by

The smartphone landscape is about to become considerably more sugary, ladies and gentlemen. PepsiCo confirmed to Reuters that it will launch a line of Pepsi smartphones and accessories in China.

PepsiCo will utilize a licensing partner for the venture. The first smartphone is rumored to carry the epic name Pepsi P1.

Specs-wise, the Pepsi P1 will reportedly feature a MediaTek MT6592 chipset, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, and 5.5″ 1080p display. A 13MP main camera, 5MP front-facing unit, and 3,000mAh battery are also said to be on board. Pepsi P1 will boot Android 5.1 Lollipop.

The oddly branded smartphone is expected to launch in China later this month with $205 price tag. There is no word on a diet version for the time being.

Don’t Be The Weakest Link — Ensuring Data Center Resiliency

Posted on by

Most team leaders understand a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.  This once-popular adage, formerly used to describe the importance of teamwork, is once again becoming relevant in IT circles. As businesses embark on digital transformations – with unlimited connections, critical data, and even more potential vulnerabilities – CIOs agree that their infrastructures are only as safe as their weakest point. That’s because the next IT security breach could be just around the corner.

Mystery OnePlus phone leaks again in new, clearer images

Posted on by

Remember that mysterious OnePlus smartphone that the FCC leaked last week? Well it’s back today, but this time it’s China’s TENAA agency that’s doing the leaking.

TENAA has posted a few images of an unannounced OnePlus smartphone — TENAA calls it the “One E1001” — that looks largely similar to the one leaked by the FCC last week. It’s got the same off-center rear camera, the same rear OnePlus logo, and the same switch on its left side. These photos also give us a better look at the phone’s face, on which we can faintly see what looks to be capacitive Back, Home, and Recent Apps buttons.

In addition to these images, the TENAA listing named a few of the specs of this OnePlus “One E1001.” Those include a 5-inch display, a 2450mAh battery, and measurements of 140.0 x 69.0 x 6.9mm. Last week, the FCC said that this phone packs a 1.9GHz processor, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, LTE, and FM radios.

It’s still unclear exactly what this OnePlus device is, but it could be the affordable device that OnePlus CEO Pete Lau briefly mentioned earlier this year. Lau didn’t say much else about the phone at the time, but the smallish screen and battery that this leaked phone have suggest that it’ll be a more affordable handset. Perhaps this is the OnePlus mini/OnePlus X that’s been rumored lately?

This Android Wear Watch Is Gorgeous, And You’ll Be Surprised By Who Makes It

Posted on by

Imagine that five years from now Cisco introduces some spiffy new mobile and wearable devices that stack up to the latest and greatest from the big names of the day (will you still be going strong, Apple and Samsung?) and you get some sense of what China’s Huawei, which was largely only a networking company until recently, has achieved with its new Android Wear smartwatch, simply called Huawei Watch.
