August 19, 2010
Bill: Thanks for joining us. Im Bill Kircos with Intel Corporation and today the company announced
the acquisition of McAfee at 7.68 billion dollars. Im fortunate enough to have the top brass with
me today. Renee James, senior vice president of the software and services group and Dave DeWalt,
CEO of McAfee.
Renee, let me start with you. What excites you about this deal?
Renee: Well, I am first of all very excited about what we can do together. As the world of
connected computing continues to grow, we are adding security as one of the major focus areas for
Intel, along with power and performance. Were going to add a new P Protection. And were
very excited about the combination and innovation in security that we can make between the two
companies.
Bill: Great answer. So why specifically McAfee then?
Renee: Thats a great question. We have been partners with McAfee for a long time; were a
customer. And weve got a lot of experience working with Dave and his team. Were very excited
about the current product line, and some of their efforts in R&D. Just amazing people. And we
think that combination with our leadership products is a really powerful thing that we can do
together.
Bill: Dave, what gets you jazzed up about this and why Intel?
Dave: Well one of the things that Renee said too but first the reputation of Intel is legendary. I
mean I find the innovation, the research, the development, the commitment over the years its
fabulous. And for McAfee, were pleased to be a part of that.
What you said as well. Connected devices are exploding. As the movement of the new internet from
IPV4 to IPV6 changes, were going to trillions of devices over time. And security is really
important as a part of that. So we share a similar vision and we share innovation. And its
exciting its truly exciting. And, were also neighbors in many locations as well.
Renee: Right thats what we found out.
Bill: Renee, talk to me about how security fits into our traditional business as we have a really
fast growing PC business but also our growth ambitions in the mobile wireless area.
Renee: Security, as I said in my first comments, security is really important across our existing
businesses both in the data center and the connection through the network through the data center
and cloud as well as obviously in your PC today. As the PC market continues to expand, continues
to be a great business, security is increasingly a consideration for all users. As weve been
talking about and have made other software acquisitions are our growth businesses around mobile
devices, imbedded devices and consumer electronics. All those billions of devices are going to be
connected to the internet and all
of them are going to need security. So we think that the technology of McAfee is applicable across
all of the segments that we serve and that people use computing.
Bill: Great. Dave, Im sure people are going to ask: Are you going to stick around? And what does
this deal mean to your customers?
Dave: Oh I tell you, I cant be more pleased with this whole thing. Its almost like its a dream
come true in some ways that we have a chance to fulfill our vision and our strategy. And of course
Im sticking around. Im very excited about that. Ill be here for a long time with Intel and Im
excited about the future of the company and excited about the future opportunity for us with
security and innovation. As I said before so looking forward to it.
Dave: Last question for you Renee. What are your plans for McAfee in terms of how youll structure
it and any message for the employees out there?
Renee: Yes. We are going to keep McAfee as a wholly owned subsidiary like we did with Wind River,
which we acquired last year, and several other acquisitions that weve made. And we expect, as Dave
just told you, that Dave and leadership team and the entire employee base will be staying with us
and continuing to build great products and innovate new products as part of the Intel family.
Dave: I think thats whats important to add on there is that the employees are valued here. Thats
whats exciting. Thats Intels culture, thats our culture, so all employees are welcome to be a
part of this and I think from customers and from partners of ours, Intel has always treated them as
the highest priority and well be doing the same thing and, of course, innovating even more. So
very exciting times for us all I think.
Bill: Terrific. Thanks and congratulations again.
