  • For Immediate Release Vmware Completes Acquisition of Pivotal
    For Immediate Release VMware Completes Acquisition of Pivotal VMware, Combined with Pivotal, Committed to Connecting Infrastructure and Application Owners to Accelerate Software Delivery and Drive Business Outcomes PALO ALTO, Calif., December 30, 2019 – VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise software, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Pivotal Software, Inc. (“Pivotal”), a leading cloud-native platform provider. As a result of the completion of the acquisition, Pivotal’s Class A common stock was removed from listing on the New York Stock Exchange with trading suspended prior to the open of the market today, and Pivotal will now operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of VMware. The transaction represented an enterprise value for Pivotal of approximately $2.7 billion. Pivotal’s offerings will be core to the VMware Tanzu portfolio of products and services designed to help customers transform the way they build, run and manage their most important applications, with Kubernetes as the common infrastructure substrate. The combination of Pivotal’s developer-centric offerings with VMware’s upstream Kubernetes run-time infrastructure and management tools will deliver a comprehensive enterprise solution that enables dramatic improvements in developer productivity in the creation of modern applications. VMware is able to offer product building blocks and integrated solutions that are tested and proven with technical expertise that customers need to accelerate software delivery across data center, cloud and edge environments. “It's my pleasure to announce Ray O'Farrell as the leader of VMware’s new Modern Applications Platform business unit—uniting the Pivotal and VMware Cloud Native Applications teams,” said Pat Gelsinger, CEO, VMware.

  • Hewlett-Packard's Secret Surveillance of Directors and Journalists
    For the exclusive use of C. Luong, 2016. NA0050 Unauthorized Disclosure: Hewlett- Packard’s Secret Surveillance of Directors and Journalists Anne T. Lawrence, San Jose State University Randall D. Harris, California State University, Stanislaus Sally Baack, San Francisco State University n September 28, 2006, members of Congress, their staffs, reporters, prospec- tive witnesses, and the curious public packed the wood-paneled hearing room Oof the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The subject of the day’s hearing, called by the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, was “Hewlett-Packard’s Pretexting Scandal.” 1 At issue were methods the technology firm had used to investigate the unauthorized disclosure of nonpublic information to the press by members of its board of directors. Hewlett-Packard (HP) apparently had hired investi- gators who had used a technique known as pretexting—calling the phone company and posing as someone else in order to obtain that person’s records. Newsweek had summed up the situation in a cover story published ten days earlier: “Lying, spying, name-call- ing, finger-pointing—all of it is a tragicomedy that Shakespeare might’ve penned if he had gotten an MBA.” 2 Hewlett-Packard and its board chairman, Patricia Dunn, had initially defended the company’s investigation of directors and journalists, saying aggressive efforts to ferret out the source of leaks were fully justified. But in the past few weeks, the situation had begun to spin out of control as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the California Attorney General had opened probes into the company’s actions.3 Now, nearly two dozen of HP’s top executives, directors, lawyers, and investigators—includ- ing the company’s CEO Mark Hurd—had been called before Congress to account for their firm’s alleged out-of-bounds behavior and to explain what they intended to do about it.
