FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EMC Recognized for Continued Innovation in Data Warehouse Industry

According to an independent research firm, “EMC Greenplum has risen
fast into the top tier of EDW platform providers through solid execution
and continued innovation”

HOPKINTON, Mass. – February 24, 2011 – EMC® Corporation (NYSE:
EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today
announced that Forrester Research Inc. has recognized EMC for “solid
execution and continued innovation” and “strong scale-out
parallelism, coupled with its steady innovation and strong cloud focus
(that) gives it a competitive advantage in the hypercompetitive EDW
segment.”

The February 2011 report, “The Forrester Wave(TM): Enterprise Data
Warehousing Platforms, Q1 2011,” states, “EMC Greenplum demonstrates
strong growth, geographic diversification, vertical momentum, and
partnerships in the EDW market.” The analysis goes on to say that by
establishing a new Data Computing Division soon after acquiring
Greenplum and by rapidly rolling out a new high-performance appliance,
EMC has demonstrated a “serious commitment” to this marketplace.

“Forrester provides pragmatic and forward-thinking advice to leading
global leaders in business and technology,” noted Bill Cook, General
Manager and Senior Vice President of EMC’s Data Computing Division.
“Their comprehensive analysis factors in customer adoption and
installed base, and thus we believe that this latest new Forrester
report validates the growing demand for and market-leading excellence of
EMC Greenplum technology.”

Forrester also reported that “business process and information
management professionals regularly make substantial investments in EDW
software, hardware, services, and personnel that consume millions of
dollars.”

EMC Greenplum is addressing these pressing enterprise needs with
purpose-built, highly scalable, parallel data warehousing solutions that
architecturally integrate database, compute, storage and networks into a
single, easy-to-manage enterprise-class system.
