EMC Expands Cambridge Research Presence

Sponsors MIT Media Lab, Opens EMC Research Cambridge

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the
world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced it has
joined the MIT Media Lab as a Consortium Sponsor, further strengthening EMC's
longstanding commitment to technology innovation and university research and
collaboration. EMC's sponsorship is one of numerous initiatives for EMC
Research Cambridge - the company's newly-established research presence in
Cambridge, Massachusetts focused on accelerating emerging technology
innovation and product development and advancing EMC's deep relationships with
university research and startup communities in the Boston area.

EMC Research Cambridge leverages and brings together in close collaboration -
both physically and through the global and virtual EMC Innovation Network -
the world-renowned RSA Laboratories, EMC Research China and EMC's Santa Clara
Incubation Lab, as well as senior technologists, distinguished engineers and
research fellows from across EMC and its subsidiaries.

"Research and advanced technology groups across EMC, along with our global
university research partners, are discovering and exploring new technologies
that will shape the future of digital information," said Jeff Nick, EMC Senior
Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. "This is an incredible
opportunity for EMC to bring together some of the world's leading research
minds and innovators in areas such as personal information management,
information integration and cloud computing."

As part of its Consortium Sponsorship, EMC gains full access to the MIT Media
Lab's research environment. MIT Media Lab is recognized globally for its
cutting-edge research, invention and creative use of emerging technologies on
everyday life and enhancing the ways that people think, communicate ideas and
explore new scientific frontiers. EMC and MIT research collaborations will
focus initially on new models for data ownership and usage; innovative
interfaces for social and business transactions; and technologies to help
consumers take control of their own healthcare management.

"People's lives are becoming increasingly connected," said Andrew Lippman,
Associate Director, MIT Media Lab. "By collaborating with leading technology
companies like EMC, the Media Lab can invent new possibilities for creating,
collecting and using information that empower users and bring a wealth of
benefits to people's digital lives and communities. We're pleased to have EMC
as a sponsor of the Media Lab and to have them work with us at the forefront
of collaborative learning and expression."

Rob Masson, Director of EMC Research Cambridge, said, "The research world
grows more collaborative every day. EMC Research Cambridge is tapping into
and interconnecting a wellspring of knowledge and discovery across the Boston
research community and EMC's global network of innovators and academic
partners. This model manifests itself in diverse insights on key technology
trends and, ultimately, EMC's ability to shape and accelerate development of
technologies that directly benefit our customers."

Today's news follows on the heels of EMC's recently-announced participation
with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, MIT, University of Massachusetts,
Boston University and Cisco Systems to develop a world-class green
high-performance computing center in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The Holyoke
High-Performance Computing Center (HPCC) and collaborative statewide research
agenda will create a new source of vision and innovation, and provide the
necessary competitive advantage to ensure the Commonwealth's leadership in
global scientific and technological research.

In addition to its Media Lab sponsorship, EMC has enjoyed a longstanding
relationship working with MIT on other programs and initiatives, including
MIT's Industrial Liaison Program (ILP), Center for Information Systems
Research (CISR) and the Industrial Advisory Council for Minority Education
(IACME).

About the MIT Media Lab

The MIT Media Lab applies an unorthodox research approach to envision the
impact of emerging technologies on everyday life -- technologies that promise
to fundamentally transform our most basic notions of human capabilities.
Unconstrained by traditional disciplines, Lab designers, engineers, artists,
and scientists work atelier-style in some 30 research groups conducting more
than 400 projects that range from neuroengineering, to how children learn, to
developing the city car of the future. Lab researchers foster a unique culture
of learning by doing, developing technologies that empower people of all ages,
from all walks of life, in all societies, to design and invent new
possibilities for themselves and their communities. For more information about
