EMC acquired VMware in 2003, EMC, a storage device vendor, acquired a 5-year virtual technology company VMware at $635 million.　　With virtual technology being quickly adopted by enterprises, VMware's current value has reached about 33 billion dollars. But it wasn't all plain sailing, and in 2007 EMC sold vmware10% shares. Just a year ago, VMware CEO Diane Greene was ruthlessly dismissed, and former Microsoft veteran Paul Maritz replaced his position. Paul Maritz was at EMC at the time.　　At the same time, EMC lowered the virtual Technology department's 2008 revenue forecasts.　　Appointing Maritz may be a good move, as VMware grew by 48% per cent in the recent quarter. 9. Intel's acquisition of McAfee this transaction can go down in history and could be the worst deal in people's memory or the smartest deal. Intel bought McAfee at a price of 7.7 billion dollars, a deal that puzzled critics and even scared.　　It was feared that the chip giant would manage the security software company badly, a history previously known as Intel. In announcing the deal, Paul Otellini, Intel chief executive, stressed that "security is important when hardware is started." "The number of hardware devices connected to the Internet is growing, and the attendant security issues need to be taken seriously."　　But some question whether Intel can really manage the security software company, after all, whether Intel or McAfee has no outstanding record in the mobile device sector. 8. Oracle's acquisition of PeopleSoft not all deals are friendly, and the most intense example of the technology industry is Oracle's acquisition of PeopleSoft.　　Oracle bought the CRM company 7 billion dollars in the summer of 2003, but was opposed by the PeopleSoft board, which was also vetted by the US Department of Justice and the European Commission to prevent a monopoly. After 18 months of hard work, Oracle finally achieved its goal in early 2005, completing the acquisition at a price of $10.3 billion.　　5 years on, Oracle is also selling independent PeopleSoft apps, a takeover of Oracle's strategy. 7. HP's acquisition of the Palm HP acquisition team was aimed at Palm's webOS platform in April, when 16 companies joined the race withoutDoubt, these companies are counting on a mobile platform. Eventually HP won, putting 1.2 billion of dollars on the table to ensure the deal.　　After the deal, Hewlett-Packard soon put into production and the first tablet to run the webOS operating system will be launched early next year. 6. The BI industry strictly says this is not an acquisition, but a series of purchases designed to reinvent the business intelligence industry (BI). Oracle injected $3.3 billion into Hyperion in March 2007, and SAP injected $6.8 billion into businessobjects in October.　　Other software companies have been outdone, with IBM investing 5 billion of billions of dollars in Cognos. 5. Lenovo's acquisition of IBM at the end of 2004, IBM made a shocking incident in the industry, the company sold its PC department to Lenovo Group, when Lenovo was not well-known abroad. Although the deal is small compared to other deals, the price is about 1.75 billion dollars, but it has a huge impact.　　Observers believe the deal is good for both sides, with Lenovo becoming the world's third-largest PC maker, while IBM can focus on IT services. 4. HP acquired EDS in 2008, Hewlett-Packard completed a 13.9 billion dollar acquisition of electronic Data BAE transactions, into the service sector.　　Prior to taking over, eds in the world's 64 cities have 140,000 employees in the Fortune 500, one of the largest service companies, with more than 2000 customers. 3. AMD acquired ATI in June 2006, AMD announced the acquisition of the graphic chip design manufacturer ATI at 5.4 billion US dollar price, and completed the transaction in October of the same year. In different markets, the two companies face the same competitor-Intel, and none of the two companies has enough strength to compete with Intel.　　Shortly after the deal was completed, AMD released its first fusion of results after the merger. For AMD, the acquisition of ATI is not just a new technology, but a profitable business.　　AMD's financial performance in the ensuing years was poor, while the GPU sector, which was an important part of ATI, was successful. 2. Oracle's acquisition of Sun Oracle has completed a 7.4 billion dollar takeover of Sun value this year, which many see as a tragic outcome for sun. In the 1980s, Sun was the King of Unix, creating a Java legend. After the acquisition of Sun, Oracle promised to become an integrated system manufacturer capable of providing hardware from enterprise software, high-end services and workstations, but it was not optimistic that Oracle quickly sacked a large number of sun employees and stopped supporting projects such as OpenSolaris.　　Oracle recently said it will build a complete integrated Data Technology Center for enterprise users through its own software and hardware technologies. 1. Hewlett-Packard's takeover of Compaq 2002 Compaq was seen as the most influential trading in a decade, costing HP 25 billion dollars to computerThe two most well-known enterprises of the industry were linked together. Although Hewlett-Packard eventually made the deal the world's largest PC maker, the acquisition was not smooth and was fiercely opposed by HP's shareholders and co-founder. So far, Compaq's name exists only in HP's laptops.
