They have nothing to do with it,
Wave came across some money, and they have to spend it as fast as they can .... it is a Sprague thing. GM + BASF = SFND + Scrambls.
Dell bought one of SFNDs competitors (Credant) the potential for synergy on the Dell front has likely been nil from the beginning.
There was the whole cross-licensing of Protector to Credant, and although I have asked, I have gotten nothing resembling a cogent response.
Perhaps with Dell's considerable backing Credant seeks to reverse engineer DDP-A? Naw. I think Dell will maintain DDP-A, but may prefer to sell it as an upgrade and not a bundle.
Or they choose to keep bundling on get great price concessions.
Or whatever.
The above content is my opinion.
