The alternatives are familiar names like IBM and Hewlett-Packard, while Cisco Systems, EMC and Oracle have also been shooting for big-time cloud deployments.īoth Dell and EMC have had to put time and energy into defining their businesses in recent years even as the enterprise IT industry has changed rapidly around them. ![]() If you are a Xbox playing, Windows-using gamer, this might be for you.Dell has spent years trying to make the leap from PCs and small and medium-sized businesses to a full set of components for large enterprises.
