Dell EMC’s Matt Baker: VMware has over 600,000 customers
Dell, with more than 103,000 employees globally, is one of the largest technology companes in the world. In 2017, it was the third-largest PC vendor after Lenovo and HP, and analysts peg its market capitalization at $70 billion. The Round Rock, Texas firm sells network switches, peripherals, laptops, workstations, HDTVs, cameras, printers, servers, and MP3 players, to name a few categories. But in intervening years since its 2009 acquisition IT services provider Perot Systems, it’s invested heavily in storage and networking solutions for enterprises.
