Dell’s acquisition of EMC has positioned the newly combined companies, now known as Dell Technologies, among the leaders on all major fronts for supplying technology to build cloud systems, according to a report released Tuesday by Synergy Research Group.
Synergy’s compilation of Q2 financial disclosures reveals that had Dell and EMC been tabulated together in the quarter, the combined entity would have been nipping on the heels of the two dominant players in cloud hardware.
Dell Technologies, the company formed last week after the $65 billion acquisition officially closed, is also a cloud software powerhouse through its majority stake in VMware, the second largest supplier of infrastructure software to cloud builders.
