“We will be fully honoring all IDC HPC contracts and deliverables, and will continue our HPC operations as before,” said Earl Joseph of IDC. “Because the HPC group conducts sensitive business with governments, the group is being separated prior to the deal closing. It will be operated under new ownership that will be independent from the buyer of IDC to ensure that the group can continue to fully support government research requirements. The HPC group will continue to do business as usual, including research reports, client studies, and the HPC User Forums.”
