  • 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.

  • Lookout! (V108)
    Crossing the Digital Divide (v108) “Lookout!” by Joseph Feigon for the Observer Scott McNealy is an American businessman. He is most famous for co-founding the computer technology company Sun Microsystems in 1982 along with Vinod Khosla, Bill Joy and Andy Bechtolsheim. Oracle Corporation (Larry Ellison’s database client) purchased Sun Microsystems in 2010. Mr. McNealy was one of the relative success stories in the early days of the Internet. Sun Microsystems built exceptional servers, and was a market leader with their Unix operating system as well as their corporate support of the Open Source movement, including Linux. Sun ‘cuda been’ a contender. Lookout was McNealy's inverted name for Outlook, Microsoft's e-mail client. McNealy says you need to "look out" for trouble when using Outlook. McNealy frequently cites Outlook's well documented security problems. He says that to get the most functionality out of Outlook you'll also need Microsoft's Exchange Server. But the combination, and the Microsoft- only mail and calendaring protocol required to connect them (MAPI), is yet another example of how Microsoft locks businesses into proprietary technologies that eliminate choice and flexibility. Microsoft is still here, Sun Microsystems is not. Proprietary software continues to dominate the retail customer (Windows, anyone?), as well as many big companies. Those success stories in the Open Source space build applications on an Operating System (Linux, BSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, etc.) that is open, meaning, free to you and me. Open, as in, anyone with the desire and/or ability can review each line of coding that makes things work.

  • In the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware City
    EFiled: Feb 19 2013 09:26AM EST Transaction ID 49611480 Case No. 8329­ IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE CITY OF ROSEVILLE EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM, Plaintiff, Civil Action No. v. 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.

  • Operating RISC: UNIX Standards in the 1990S
    Operating RISC: UNIX Standards in the 1990s This case was written by Will Mitchell and Paul Kritikos at the University of Michigan. The case is based on public sources. Some figures are based on case-writers' estimates. We appreciate comments from David Girouard, Robert E. Thomas and Michael Wolff. The note "Product Standards and Competitive Advantage" (Mitchell 1992) supplements this case. The latest International Computerquest Corporation analysis of the market for UNIX- based computers landed on three desks on the same morning. Noel Sharp, founder, chief executive officer, chief engineer and chief bottle washer for the Superbly Quick Architecture Workstation Company (SQAWC) in Mountain View, California hoped to see strong growth predicted for the market for systems designed to help architects improve their designs. In New York, Bo Thomas, senior strategist for the UNIX systems division of A Big Computer Company (ABCC), hoped that general commercial markets for UNIX-based computer systems would show strong growth, but feared that the company's traditional mainframe and mini-computer sales would suffer as a result. Airborne in the middle of the Atlantic, Jean-Helmut Morini-Stokes, senior engineer for the UNIX division of European Electronic National Industry (EENI), immediately looked to see if European companies would finally have an impact on the American market for UNIX-based systems. After looking for analysis concerning their own companies, all three managers checked the outlook for the alliances competing to establish a UNIX operating system standard. Although their companies were alike only in being fictional, the three managers faced the same product standards issues. How could they hasten the adoption of a UNIX standard? The market simply would not grow until computer buyers and application software developers could count on operating system stability.

SunOS: A peopleʼs history • In the early 1990s, after a painful transition to Solaris, much of the SunOS 4.x engineering talent had left • Problems compounded by the adoption of an immature SCM, the Network Software Environment (NSE) • The engineers revolted: Larry McVoy developed a much simpler variant of NSE called NSElite (ancestor to git) • Using NSElite (and later, TeamWare), Roger Faulkner, Tim Marsland, Joe Kowalski and Jeff Bonwick led a sufficiently parallelized development effort to produce Solaris 2.3, “the first version that worked” • ...but with Solaris 2.4, management took over day-to- day operations of the release, and quality slipped again Solaris 2.5: Do or die • Solaris 2.5 absolutely had to get it right — Sun had new hardware, the UltraSPARC-I, that depended on it • To assure quality, the engineers “took over,” with Bonwick installed as the gatekeeper • Bonwick granted authority to “rip it out if itʼs broken" — an early BDFL model, and a template for later generations of engineering leadership • Solaris 2.5 shipped on schedule and at quality

    Oral History of Scott McNealy Interviewed by: Uday Kapoor Recorded February 26, 2019 Mountain View, CA CHM Reference number: X8935.2019 © 2019 Computer History Museum Oral History of Scott McNealy Kapoor: On behalf of the Computer History Museum, it is my privilege to welcome Scott McNealy. He doesn't need any introduction. He was Co-Founder of Sun, which changed the world. My name is Uday Kapoor, and I am a volunteer at the Computer History Museum's Oral Histories program. And I have the added pleasure, and privilege of, having worked for Sun for more than 20 years. So with that, "Welcome." And I'd like to start with your early life. You were born on November 13th, 1954 in Columbus, Indiana, to an illustrious father, Bill McNealy, who was a Senior Manager, and then later rose to Vice Chairman at American Motors. So could you please tell us about your early life? McNealy: Oh, my early life was moving around a lot. I was in eight schools by eighth grade. Lived in Indiana and then moved to Rockford, Illinois, then to Kansas City Missouri, and then to Racine, Wisconsin, and then eventually we ended in Michigan which is where I spent my high school years. And my dad moved around a lot of different jobs. A Harvard MBA. And he met my mom, who was a flight attendant, hostess back then on TWA, and I had two brothers and a sister, and finally I went off to Harvard, worked there, or went to school there for four years.
