The Win-Win-Win Scenario Of A Compellent And Dell Merger: Page 3 of 3

I believe that should the acquisition finalize and Compellent's StorageCenter join the Dell storage products lineup, happy Compellent and Dell customers will continue to be just as happy. They possibly will be elated if Dell executes well and quickly provides customer and sales training and product positioning. I see Dell's biggest challenge as getting the bigger and broader message of VIS and DCS out to its customers and prospects, as well as the positioning of all of its offerings within these constructs. Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Oracle and others in the cloud services world will be competing heavily with Dell, and clearly articulated messages with value propositions will be key for Dell to develop and deliver in short order.

What say you?  What is your opinion on the Dell acquisition of Compellent?
