HOPKINTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- July 25, 1995 -- EMC Corporation, the world's leading supplier of mainframe storage solutions, today announced it will provide high-end, mainframe Integrated Cached Disk Array (ICDA) storage systems to the United States Internal Revenue Service through EMC's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with Unisys Corp., of Blue Bell, Penn.
