NetApp has cleared all necessary U.S. regulatory hurdles to proceed with its acquisition of Data Domain, though it seems unlikely that the company will prevail now that rival EMC has trumped its bid for the storage vendor.

What part of “No” does EMC not understand? On Monday the company once again said its bid for data storage equipment maker Data Domain is “superior” to a competing offer from NetApp. This, despite the fact that Data Domain earlier in the day issued a statement recommending that shareholders reject EMC’s $30-a-share cash bid.

EMC’s surprise bid for Data Domain has sparked a bidding war of sorts with its storage rival NetApp. I say “of sorts” because this morning NetApp raised its offer for Data Domain to $30 a share from $25 to match, but not exceed, EMC’s bid.
