“That continued ecosystem commitment is an enormously powerful thing and one that Dell is supporting and encouraging. Today we talked about cross-cloud architecture and our VM Cloud Foundation, and Dell is committed to bringing that to market,” Gelsinger said.
Bingo. We already have Exhibit A in this editorial case: VMware is already supplying applications, virtual infrastructure and services that Dell cannot make on its own and that it will sell along with EMC’s VxRail and other converged data center hardware.
So Dell & Co. moves ahead, making tough decisions in a major corporate shakeup as CEOs and their corporations are wont to do. Some people get left behind in such circumstances, that’s just the way it is.
What is Gelsinger’s take on the idea of his company possibly becoming Dell Software II? Did Dell make a mistake in divesting a very popular developer tool company in Quest?
“Well, look at it this way,” Gelsinger told eWEEK. “What software about Quest excites you? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a good set of tools for older technologies; that will stay a good business for a while. But what we’re doing at VMware is transforming entire businesses; that’s what Michael is thinking about.”
