Rival unfazed by Dell’s move

#Dell ’s $91 billion acquisition of storage firm #EMC may be the largest deal in tech history but its rival #Commvault is unfazed, describing the purchase as an ­opportunity to steal market share while the competition is “distracted”.

Commvault global chief marketing officer Chris Powell, speaking exclusively to The Australian, said Dell’s blockbuster deal 
And opened up a can of worms when it came to integration.

“With Dell buying EMC, the first thing you think of, what’s Michael Dell known for? Is it efficiency, or innovation? I think we all know it’s about efficiency,” Mr Powell said.

His confidence stems from completing a significant overhaul of internal operations that show the US-based data and information management firm is well placed to capitalise on a market that demands reliability.

“A few years back there was a big recognition from our senior leadership and our CEO that we had to change a number of things across our organisation,” Mr Powell said. “We were being hit by huge shifts in the market around pricing, major changes with key partners, and there was a fear that we were losing focus on our core business.”
