Dell's enterprise challenge remains after 3Par
As I was writing this, news of the HP / Dell bidding war for 3PAR broke on the front page of Yahoo. This made me laugh, as it typified just how crazy this story has become--few things outside of a bidding war will make a storage acquisition sexy enough to make mainstream news. At $30, HP's current offer is the sixth bid, a 200 percent premium over 3PAR's previous $10 share price. Not only is this insane, but it's also nearly unprecedented in M&A history. And since 3PAR is trading above $32 the market thinks Dell will bid even higher.
