Dell and EMC today announced a five-year extension of their global alliance, through 2011, reinforcing both companies’ commitment to deliver industry-leading networked storage solutions for organizations of all sizes.
“Alliances in name only are all too common,” said Dell CEO Kevin Rollins. “The Dell-EMC relationship is that rare exception that truly delivers excellent value and performance to customers. Together we have been able to provide the benefits of networked storage systems and services to customers of all sizes throughout the world.”
The Dell-EMC relationship has yielded significant market results. According to IDC, Dell was the fastest-growing top-10 disk storage system vendor in revenue in 20051.
EMC has become the mid-tier storage market share leader2. More than 34,000 Dell | EMC branded networked storage systems have been shipped to more than 10,000 customers worldwide.

The unprecedented combination of leading capabilities from EMC and Dell has helped change the storage landscape. We are extending the relationship well into the future to ensure continued innovation, momentum and commitment to our mutual customers.”
Dell and EMC signed the original agreement in October 2001 to help customers reduce complexity and more effectively store, manage and protect their information through networked storage. From the outset, Dell and EMC implemented a unique model of sales, marketing, engineering and manufacturing collaboration to leverage each other’s strengths to deliver compelling value to customers.

A sub-$5,000 networked storage system in the Dell | EMC AX100
