EMC's Data Domain deal, near 3 years later
Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal by Diana Samuels, Reporter
Wednesday, February 22, 2012

EMC's acquisition of Data Domain in the summer of 2009 was not an altogether smooth
transaction.
It took two months to resolve a hostile bidding war between Hopkinton, Mass.-based EMC and
Sunnyvale-based NetApp for Data Domain, a Santa Clara-based backup company. EMC
ultimately won with a $2.1 billion offer, outbidding NetApp's $1.9 billion price.

3. Last week, I had a chance to catch up with the president of the combined EMC-Data Domain
division, BJ Jenkins, who says two and a half years later all is hunky dory at the combined
companies, which have merged into EMC's "Backup Recovery Systems Division" headquartered
in Santa Clara.
"For EMC, it's been a core competency for us to acquire companies and help them grow,"
Jenkins said. "I think at the time of acquisition there was a lot of talk about 'East Coast vs. West
Coast' culture and how would those two mesh? Were these products going to work together and
grow, or were they going to cannibalize each other? Our experience has been that the growth has
been great."
The division makes backup systems featuring "deduplication" technology, which can identify
files and data that are redundant so it doesn't have to copy them again. Because they are more
efficient, EMC-Data Domain says its systems can reduce a company's storage footprint by 10 to
30 times.
Jenkins does have some numbers to demonstrate the division's success: It more than doubled its
revenue from 2010 to 2011, from $1 billion to $2 billion. Data Domain was pulling in about
$485 million when it was acquired.
At that time, Data Domain had about 900 employees, about half of them in Silicon Valley. EMC
combined that with 900 employees from the backup division it already had, for a total of about
1,800 employees when the companies merged.
Today, the division has more than 3,000 employees, with more than 1,000 in Silicon Valley,
Jenkins said. It hired more than 550 people in California over the last two years and expects to
hire at an even faster pace this year, he said.
Leadership at the top has changed, though: Jenkins took over as president in Jan. 2011, replacing
Frank Slootman, Data Domain's former CEO.
Jenkins had worked at EMC for 13 years, and was previously chief of staff of the backup
division. Slootman is now a venture partner at venture capital firm Greylock Partners and CEO
at San Diego-based ServiceNow, a company that makes business process automation software,
according to Greylock's website.
Jenkins said by acquiring Data Domain, EMC was able to take the cutting-edge deduplication
technology and give it the advantage of EMC's huge size and clout.
"We were able to really take that foundational element that Data Domain provided and just reach
more customers with it," he said. "It was not a redundancy or efficiency type of acquisition at all.
We call it an offensive growth acquisition — how can we get this product in front of more
customers faster than we could as a standalone company."

EMC Corporation
Pat Gelsinger is President and Chief Operating Officer, EMC Information Infrastructure Products.
With revenues of $20 billion in 2011 and more than 53,000 people worldwide, EMC is a global
leader in enabling businesses and service providers to transform their operations and deliver IT
as a service. Fundamental to this transformation is cloud computing. Through innovative
products and services, EMC accelerates the journey to cloud computing, helping IT
departments to store, manage, protect and analyze their most valuable asset – information – in
a more agile, trusted, and cost-efficient way.
Gelsinger is responsible for EMC's Information Infrastructure product portfolio, including
information storage divisions, as well as Data Computing, Backup and Recovery Systems, RSA
Security, Enterprise Solutions, and the office of the Chief Technology Officer. He reports to Joe
Tucci, EMC's Chairman and CEO.
At EMC, he has led EMC product engineering and manufacturing divisions through the largest-
ever revamp of EMC's industry-leading product portfolio, including the launch of the award-
winning VNX family of unified storage platforms, which have gained market share for EMC in
the rapidly growing mid-tier and small-business segments. Under Gelsinger's leadership, EMC
has grown its Backup and Recovery Systems division into an essential part of EMC's business,
combining Avamar and Data Domain to offer next-generation backup solutions designed
specifically for new data center architectures. He has also overseen the integration and growth
of Isilon scale-out NAS, as well as the introductions of the Greenplum Unified Analytics Platform
for big data analytics and server Flash caching technology, EMC VFCache. He also leads
EMC's technology partnerships with industry leaders including Intel, SAP, Microsoft, VCE (the
Virtual Computing Environment Company, EMC's joint venture with Cisco), and VMware (the
EMC majority-owned and publicly-traded market leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure).
Prior to this, he led Intel Labs, which encompasses many of Intel research activities, including
leading Corporate Technology Group and Intel Research. As Intel's first chief technology officer
(CTO), he managed Intel's longer-term research efforts and helped ensure consistency from

He holds six patents in the areas of VLSI design, computer architecture and communications, is
a well-known speaker on technology trends, and has received a variety of industry recognition
awards. He received an associate's degree from Lincoln Technical Institute in 1979, a
bachelor's degree from Santa Clara University in 1983, magna cum laude, and a master's
degree from Stanford University in 1985. All degrees are in electrical engineering. He is a
Fellow of the IEEE (2008) and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Letters in 2008 from
William Jessup University.

…
Frank Slootman, the former chief executive of Data Domain, is joining venture firm Greylock partners.
It is a somewhat incestuous move, since Greylock backed Data Domain, which was purchased by EMC
for $2.4 billion in 2009.
Fifteen-year EMC staffer William “BJ” Jenkins replaces Slootman heading up the BRS team.
EMC says that Slootman will stay on as an advisor for next generation backup and recovery
products.
Frank Slootman will join Greylock as a partner. In his new role, Slootman will invest in data
center infrastructure start-ups, particularly in the virtualization, networking, storage, cloud and
enterprise application sectors. He will also coach and mentor up-and-coming entrepreneurs and
executives.
Data Domain was a big success, and the investors which included Greylock and NEA made a
big return. We had the Data Domain guys inside the Cube at EMC World and they had nothing
but good things to say about EMC.

6. My Angle: This isn’t a firing at EMC, but a graceful exit for someone who is interested in
technology innovation and entrepreneurship. EMC is heads down focused on execution and
new products.
Slootman moving to a venture role is a perfect position for Slootman, Greylock and other
entrepreneurs. Storage, data, and converged infrastructure is the sexiest area right now and
Slootman brings a lot to the table.
Here are some choice quotes from Greylock’s press release
Aneel Bhusri, a partner at Greylock. Bhusri was one of the early stage investors in Data Domain
and its chairman at the time of its acquisition by EMC Corporation. Bhusri is also co-founder and
co-chief executive at Workday and currently leads Greylock‟s investments in Cloudera, Data
Robotics, Proferi and Pure Storage. “Frank‟s experience and perspective will be a tremendous
asset to Greylock and he will be a valued partner to entrepreneurs who are building the next
generation of enterprise technology companies.”
“Joining Greylock will enable me to get involved with many more aspiring and innovative
companies. The world is buzzing with new ideas and innovation, and this is a great time to seek
out, invest in and help bring about the next wave of exciting companies,” says Slootman.
Slootman brings with him 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur and executive in the
enterprise software industry. He most recently served as president of EMC‟s Backup Recovery
Systems (BRS) Division. At Greylock Frank will remain in a formal advisory capacity to EMC
and to the company‟s BRS Division. Prior to EMC, Frank served as chief executive of Data
Domain, a venture-backed storage company that was acquired by EMC. Data Domain was
founded in 2001 and grew at record pace. The company listed its shares on Nasdaq in 2007
and was acquired by EMC in 2009 for $2.4 billion.
Prior to Data Domain, Slootman served as a products executive at Borland Software and
Compuware Corporation. He started his career at Burroughs Corporation in Detroit, Michigan.

7. Slootman earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from the Netherlands School of
Economics, Erasmus University Rotterdam in his native Holland.

headquarters in Hopkinton, Massachusetts.
Tucci has led EMC through a period of dramatic revitalization, continued market share gains,
and sustained double-digit growth. He has transformed EMC's business model from what was a
near-exclusive focus on high-end storage platforms. With revenues of $20 billion in 2011 and
more than 53,000 people worldwide, EMC is a global leader in enabling businesses and service
providers to transform their operations and deliver IT as a service. Fundamental to this
transformation is cloud computing. Through innovative products and services, EMC accelerates
the journey to cloud computing, helping IT departments to store, manage, protect and analyze
their most valuable asset – information – in a more agile, trusted, and cost-efficient way.
In 2011, Tucci oversaw the most aggressive new product introduction cycle in the company's
history. Since 2003, he has spearheaded the investment of more than $14 billion in strategic
acquisitions to fill out EMC's product portfolio, enter new market segments, and expand the
company's addressable market opportunity. He has led EMC into multi-platform open software,
expanded the company's marketplace beyond large enterprises to commercial and small-
medium businesses, broadened the company's industry alliances, and established new selling,
partnership and distribution channels. Over the same period, Tucci has strengthened EMC's
management team with the integration of executives from other major technology companies.
He has championed EMC's use of Six Sigma to improve its business processes and has
engaged employees in the Total Customer Experience, EMC's commitment to consistently
exceed customers' expectations for quality, service, innovation, and interaction. Acknowledging
EMC's rejuvenation under Tucci's leadership, Barron's named him one of the world's Best CEOs
in 2011.
Before joining EMC, Tucci directed the financial and operational rebirth of Wang Global during
six years as its Chairman and CEO. At Wang, he guided the company through a rapid and
successful emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and transformed the company
from a midrange computer manufacturer into a worldwide leader in networked technology

Corporation, a position he assumed after the 1986 merger of Sperry and Burroughs that created
Unisys. He began his career as a systems programmer at RCA Corporation and holds a
bachelor's degree from Manhattan College and an MS in Business Policy from Columbia
University.
He is one of 150 CEO members of The Business Roundtable and the former chairman of its
Task Force on Education and the Workforce. He is one of nine chief executives who steer The
Technology CEO Council, the IT industry's leading public policy advocacy organization, and is a
member of the Executive Committee of TechNet, a network of CEOs who work to advance the
U.S.'s global leadership in innovation. In addition, Tucci is a member of the Board of Directors of
Paychex, Inc.; a member of the Board of Advisors of the Carroll School of Management at
Boston College; a member of the Board of Trustees of Northeastern University; a member of the
Board of Overseers, Columbia Business School; a member of the Advisory Board of Tsinghua
University, in Beijing, China; and an Overseer of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

EMC and Data Domain: A Profitable Decision

14. MARI A D E UT SCH E R | FEBR UAR Y 24T H
READ MORE
Storage giant EMC has acquired backup company Data Domain for a massive $2.1B BACK in
2009, after winning in a bidding contest against competitor NetApp with an offer $200 million
higher than the latter’s. Overall, the merger has worked out okay, according a recent interview
with BJ Jenkins, the current head of the integrated unit.
“For EMC, it‟s been a core competency for us to acquire companies and help them grow,”
Jenkins said. “I think at the time of acquisition there was a lot of talk about „East Coast vs. West
Coast‟ culture and how would those two mesh? Were these products going to work together and
grow, or were they going to cannibalize each other? Our experience has been that the growth
has been great.”
Jenkins provided a few figures to help demonstrate his point. The main highlight is that Data
Domain’s revenue ballooned from $1 billion to $2 billion between 2010 and 2011; a very big
increase, especially when compared with the $485 million annual revenue the company
reported prior to the EMC takeover.
There have also been some internal improvements, at least from an operational standpoint.
Data Domain’s original number of 900 employees was doubled right after the deal upon
integration with EMC’s backup business, and today that number has grown to 3,000. The very
least this indicates a strong commitment by the storage giant to continue and invest in what, in
retrospective, is turning out to be an increasingly profitable decision.
EMC is fleshing out its on-premise storage equipment and software as new trends such as big
