EMC(EMC Quote) CEO Joe Tucci spent time playing semi-pro baseball as a young man and is clearly willing to play hardball in his dogged pursuit of Data Domain(DDUP Quote).
The Hopkinton, Mass.-based firm's battle with archrival NetApp(NTAP Quote) to buy Data Domain has become a bidding war. As widely expected, Tucci and EMC upped the ante Monday, increasing their all-cash bid from $30 to $33.50 a share. If approved, the deal would be worth $2.1 billion to Data Domain shareholders, significantly more than previous offers from both EMC and NetApp.- Loading Comments...
