The coming together of EMC and Dell will create a powerhouse in the technology industry with more than $80B in revenue. To keep us growing and thriving through the truly historic changes that are gripping our industry, and to help assure we capitalize on the vast opportunity before us, we decided that creating a new company with Michael Dell, an industry colleague and noted leader, and the team at Silver Lake is the best way to position EMC for success going forward. And now we are entering a new era, where the entire information technology industry is experiencing massive disruption, while simultaneously being presented with unprecedented opportunity. An incredible feat! During that period, we have seen good times, tough times, and yes even great times. In the past 25 years, we have transformed from a storage start-up to a global technology leader with more than 70,000 people. Today is a remarkable day in EMC’s history. And I thank our valued customers for their trust, business, and friendship.īut I also recognize the need for change, and size, coupled with focus of mission, and capabilities, matter! I believe that this transaction will put EMC and our terrific people in the best position possible to thrive in the new world order. I owe each one of them an incredible debt of gratitude. I love our people and the culture we have built. It has been a journey that I wouldn’t have traded for anything. I am incredibly proud of the business we have built here at EMC.


This is a bittersweet announcement for me. Energy, Climate Action & Sustainability.APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift.
