“The brand equity in the Dell PC is irreplaceable. We have incredible momentum, gaining share in 13 straight quarters. The business is absolutely core to our vision of technology infrastructure and our ability to drive innovation at scale at the edge. And above all, it’s critically important to our customers,” Dell said. Adding that, “as family names go, I’m kind of attached to Dell,” he joked.
The other key businesses part of this new federation of companies include Pivotal (cloud platform), VMware and Virtustream(virtualization), SecureWorks and RSA (security).
“Our vision is a strategically aligned family of businesses that brings together customers’ entire infrastructure, from hardware to software to services, from the edge to the core to the cloud,” Dell added.
