Top 4 Dell-EMC merger interviews | #BestoftheCUBE

Throughout most of 2015, the fate of EMC was widely debated across the technology industry with much speculation and innuendo of how the Federation would move forward after investors expressed disapproval of EMC’s operations and sought to break up the company.

Then in October, during Dell World 2015, CEO Michael Dell announced that Dell, Inc. would merge with EMC, providing the company with a new outlook and opportunities. Here are some of the best interviews from theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Medias media team, regarding the merger:

Mark S. Lewis

When Mark Lewis, CEO of Formation Data Systems, Inc. and former CTO of EMC, sat down to discuss the merger with theCUBE, during Dell World 2015 , he said, “The secret to this acquisition is the go-to-market capabilities of EMC.”

Lewis felt the pairing of the companies was beneficial for enterprise customers; however, he stated that the new company lacked the revolutionary technology to compete with the key market leaders.
