I am off to Dell EMC World 2016, in Austin, Texas
This is the inaugural event, as it is the first combined event from the merged company.
For those just exiting a stasis pod, Dell Computer Inc., went private back in 2013, and just about 7 weeks ago, closed a deal in which it purchased mighty EMC Corporation for the low-low price of $67 billion.
This, without a doubt, makes the newly renamed Dell Technologies, Inc., one of the three ‘Big Kahunas’ in the IT space, along with IBM and Microsoft.
I have not included Apple, a primarily consumer company here, and not Amazon, which is basically an e-commerce firm, here as well.
Dell can now boast of being the ONLY information technology OEM that can deliver a whole stack.
This is my first time attending a Dell event, despite having gone to numerous EMC events in the past.
I look forward to it, and to bringing you my thoughts on my experiences there.
