Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

I hope management realise that we are essentially a business operations culture, and that is all we can be unless they fire themselves and their age old values, Dell strength has always been its supply chain and channel sales. And having EMC blood transfusion is a terrible idea, it is like going back 50 years in management style from open doors to dictatorial. We need to play to our strength, not trying to be Kim Kardashians

Speaking of knowing nothing about cloud, that would encompass all of Dell management, possibly all of Dell. "Hybrid cloud solution" is yet another attempt to attach the company to a market whose ship has already sailed, guaranteed to fail as all Dell understands and cares about is commodity volume sales, period.

Having been many years @ Dell and now at a cloud infrastructure company it's pretty easy to see just how clueless Dell is on the subject.

"into hybrid cloud solutions" lol. Is that why enterprise hybrid cloud was shut down?

There is a cloud solution

Hey guy who knows nothing about Cloud. Customers are moving to multi-cloud solutions. That includes private cloud. The reason being that there are always going to be workloads that can't be moved to public cloud. This is due to data sensitivity and other cost factors. But keep running the Dell hate.

Again, this conversation has nothing to do with layoff rumors.

Too bad they don't have any cloud infrastructure to connect customers to, and the big three have way too much of a headstart for Dell to start building it now. The hybrid "solution" will wind up as yet another overpriced engineering failure, just like the Evo rail flop that was Dell's first attempt at hyperconverged infrastructure that no one bought.

Dell is moving its focus away from PC market into hybrid cloud solution. On a side note, innovation never was part of Dell's strength, sounds like a good idea with a different management. not this.
