Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Talks like a businessman with no substance. Is this from b---s--- generator

"Perhaps the Dell strategy is to become the leading player for legacy apps company's have to tolerate. Wonder how that will work out?"

They'll have to compete with Oracle, IBM and HPE

i think some one "Tell Dell" literally

DD?

Is appears MSD strategy is to offshore all engineering to India to cut cost and zero spending on R&D to make numbers look good for playing number games with investors for reverse merger. All of our engineering got offshored this week. Should have saw that coming when they replaced our division VP with an Indian guy after the merger.

Depends upon the application you're talking about. On-prem is the only way to go for critical applications that require customized infrastructure and contain or generate sensitive data. However, for a typical company, this is only 10% of applications. The remaining 90% can move to the cloud and most will go SaaS. Perhaps the Dell strategy is to become the leading player for legacy apps company's have to tolerate. Wonder how that will work out?

MSD probably did not read the fine lines of the numbers presented to him. He makes a fool of himself and his kool aid drinkers some very happy people.

the need for specialized storage technologies are dead when SSDs pitched in to the main stream, on premises solutions can be cost effective, but why should someone choose a costly solutions from companies like hp dell ibm etc, it is better to buy a high capacity SSD which offers the same reliability as like from these companies.

Former EMC'er and what i find funny about MSD's statement is that he is totally out of tune with what is really going on. Every VC is investing in cloud tech, start-up are going there for low costs and large organization are looking for enterprise level applications and services so where he is getting the numbers of on-prem is a joke. I guess this is another case of don't tell the boss the facts, just be a yes man and keep getting paid.

Enterprise ?!? hahaha get real, Dell is a f---ing laptop company. Dell will never have the enterprise pedigree as IBM.

on premise - faster, data is 100% yours, if you smart support the hardware software yourself, no monthly fee. cons: expensive, so expensive Dell offers financing, need physical location to put the things, more cost on engineers and facility

so as a startup, would you rather pay monthly debt to own a big heavy hardware or pay a monthly fee to cloud solutions?

Dell business is better for enterprise companies offering cloud solutions, and banks. yes banks. We will do just fine. like the stupid giant IBM fine last few years.

Tell this to the startups . 10 out of 10 startups on average are not buying on-prem storage AT ALL! Not mentioning Dell EMC storage here.. Indeed idiot.. what a lovely piece of junk he ended paying 40 billions.

He is absolutely right with that statement.

Even the percentage is about correct.

Public cloud offers greater agility for re-shrinking that´s all.

MD is making up numbers again... I'd love to see where he's getting his data.
