David Scott, a British executive of 3Par, a data storage firm from Silicon Valley sets himself to become one of the richest technology executives in the U.K.

Scott, 48, is preparing to scoop his personal $96 million (£65m) fortune after the intense bidding fight between the two giant technologies, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Dell.

Following an intense two weeks of bidding fight, both HP and Dell continued to out-bid each other to acquire the San Francisco based data storage firm, 3Par, and today HP is set to buy the company for about $2.35 billion.  The sale price at $33 per share is almost three times the figure at which the storage firm stock was shifting on the Wall Street before the bidding started and is an indication of willingness for the self-named “cloud computing.”

Scott, the chief executive of 3Par who has operated the firm for almost nine years and has about 4.6% share will become the biggest single winner from the agreement.

3Par’s struggle caught Wall Street by surprise as well as leaving the technology analysts speechless. The little-known firm specializes in giving equipments, which enables companies to store massive quantity of information isolatable, lessening the problem of storage and high-priced in-house server software. In addition, 3Par disputes that today the corporate industry is looking forward to a lasting transition in buying storage used for utility from third parties, which is comparable to the demand on gas or electricity supply.

According to Scott, it is just like coming back from its former employer after the buyout. He himself became a member of the British operation of HP from institution and worked as a systems engineer for the computer company and an 8-year salesperson. It was in 1991 when he transferred to an office base in California.  In 2001, he decided to leave HP and became 3Par’s executive.

Most analysts applauded Scott after the finalization of the deal because they believed it’s a safe move that even the company is not expecting to materialize.
