Had a great 1-1 conversation with David Goulden today. I've gotten to know him a bit over the last 3 years. I have mixed emotions about this deal as I always thought he'd do well as the CEO of the federation -which was his brainchild.

Dell re-invented the direct model for low cost hardware and is unquestionably going to expand EMC offerings for SMBs through its channels.

EMC for its part has created a world-class channels ecosystem. Dell (Dell Software & Peripherals) and EMC (EMC Select – pattered after Dell S&P) have a long history of enabling complementary offerings.

What public cloud offerings will Dell EMC offer? Dell works in multi-cloud environments (Enstratius acquisition supports large public clouds including AWS and Azure), while EMC/VMware position One Cloud with vCloud Air

EMC and Dell will begin to cozy up to customers – directly – and sell end-to-end solutions- from mobile to servers to consulting and integration.

Partners should explore broadening supplier relationships with the likes of IBM, HP, Cisco, etc. and accelerate moves to add value in emerging services. We strongly believe that status quo strategies are not advisable for partners.

I'm scratching my head on this one. I think it's just too much for Cisco to swallow

No one is talking to about VMware VSAN business. This will be GONE and get integrated with EMC II and Dell storage business. Less confusion in market on storage offerings from VMware and EMC. @dvellante @furrier @patrick_osborne
