Dell plans to buy Ocarina Networks, a maker of hardware and software designed to reduce the amount of storage capacity enterprises need. The company makes appliances and software that perform data compression and deduplication on unstructured data such as images and e-mail. Dell is attempting to branch out from PC and server roots to become a data-center vendor with a broad scope, similar to Hewlett-Packard or IBM. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of this month.”]
