Our described approach is both ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’; we begin by summarizing existing studies on the cloud market, and review how the EASI-CLOUDS project partners are positioned on the cloud value chain. We review emerging trends, concepts, business models and value drivers in the cloud market, and present results from a survey targeted at top cloud bloggers and cloud professionals. We then review how the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure components create value both directly and by facilitating brokerage and federation. We then examine how cloud market opportunities can be grasped through different business models. Specifically, we examine value creation and value capture in different generic business models that may benefit from the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure. We conclude by providing recommendations on how the different EASI-CLOUDS demonstrators may be commercialized through different business models. © EASI-CLOUDS Consortium. 2 Deliverable 1.5 – Final Business Models for EASI-CLOUDS v1.0 Table of contents Table of contents ...........................................................................................................................
  • Why the Dell / EMC Combination Makes Sense for Customers

    Why the Dell / EMC Combination Makes Sense for Customers

    Why the Dell / EMC Combination Makes Sense for Customers Synergistic product portfolio and go-to-market strategies have potential to set IT customers up for success in the digital economy Executive Summary One of the biggest technology deals in history at over $60 billion is about to unfold as Dell prepares to buy EMC. At EMC World in May 2016, Michael Dell made this acquisition more real than ever when he announced the new entity’s name, Dell Technologies, which will be an umbrella brand for the collection of companies that will include enterprise and client solutions and services, and other strategic assets including VMware, Pivotal, RSA, Virtustream, and SecureWorks. With just a few major milestones to go, it appears that all is on track for the companies to merge the enterprise organizations as Dell EMC under the umbrella brand and to begin operating as one by around mid-year. Dell and EMC are positioning themselves as the path to the cloud for IT customers. Moor Insights & Strategy (MI&S) believes Dell’s leadership in compute and EMC’s leadership in storage and converged infrastructure have the potential to become building blocks for a one-stop shop for enterprise datacenter customers. Other assets such as security, virtualization software, and cloud solutions can help round out the portfolio. Moreover, Dell’s client computing business and IoT practices can bring insight into client computing and IoT models that will be key drivers for future datacenter requirements. Dell EMC should focus on continuing to build up their networking business and making it a more cohesive part of their end-to-end datacenter story.

DELL, INC., MICHAEL DELL, JAMES W. BREYER, DONALD J. CARTY, JANET F. CLARK, LAURA CONIGLIARO, KENNETH M. DUBERSTEIN, WILLIAM H. GRAY, III, GERARD J. KLEISTERLEE, KLAUS S. LUFT, ALEX J. MANDL, SHANTANU NARAYEN, ROSS PEROT, JR., DENALI HOLDING INC., DENALI INTERMEDIATE INC., DENALI ACQUIROR INC., SILVER LAKE PARTNERS, L.P., SILVER LAKE PARTNERS III, L.P., SILVER LAKE PARTNERS IV, L.P., SILVER LAKE TECHNOLOGY INVESTORS III, L.P., and MSDC MANAGEMENT, L.P., Defendants. VERIFIED CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT City of Roseville Employees’ Retirement System (“Plaintiff”), by and through its undersigned counsel, upon knowledge as to itself and upon information and belief as to all other matters, alleges as follows: NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. This action challenges Michael Dell’s attempt to take Dell, Inc. (“Dell” or the “Company”) private in a transaction (the “Going Private Transaction”) that offers Dell’s public shareholders an egregiously unfair price and threatens to foreclose them from sharing in any of the benefits to be obtained by the Company’s unfolding turnaround plan. The Going Private Transaction offers Dell’s public shareholders $13.65 per share – a price so patently unfair that it prompted one shareholder to question whether company insiders are “trying to steal the company because of current market conditions.” The $13.65 per share purchase price is approximately 3% less than the price at which the stock was trading just days prior to the Transaction’s announcement, represents only a 25% premium over the stock’s trading price before news of a potential transaction was reported, and amounts to a 34% discount from the prices at which Dell was trading a year ago.
