Dell EMC rolled out a bevy of new products on the last day of its inaugural Dell EMC World conference Wednesday that are designed to help to stitch together the newly combined companies’ massive portfolio of enterprise technologies.

Dell close its acquisition of EMC on Sept. 7, and the speed at which the new entity has shipped out so many new products suggests that much of the integration between the two is already done and dusted, barely six weeks after the deal closed.

That integration was most evident in Dell EMC’s IT infrastructure business, especially around hyperconverged solutions and storage, and in security. Indeed, Dell Technologies Inc. CEO Michael Dell stressed in his keynote address Wednesday that his new behemoth has already moved past the complications of merging the two organizations. (*Disclosure below.)

“We are already operating as one company,” he insisted, reiterating what Dell and EMC officials said at the time the deal closed.

That everything has gone so smoothly should not come as a surprise, for Dell revealed in an interview on SiliconANGLE’s TV show theCUBE that many of the details of the merger had been planned out way before the deal was first announced back in October 2015.

“This has been years in the making, dating back to 2001 when we originally created the Dell/EMC alliance,” Dell said of the merger. “We’ve known for a very long time exactly what we were going to do,” he added, with regard to today’s slew of product announcements.

Dell EMC’s newly unveiled hyperconverged infrastructure offerings seem to illustrate this work best of all. The company said it’s integrating the Dell PowerEdge servers with the VxRail and VxRack hyperconverged systems it inherited from VMware Inc. when the deal closed. The new hyperconverged systems and hardware provide compute, storage, networking, virtualization and management software resources integrated with Dell appliances that are simple to deploy and manage, the company said.

VMware’s original VxRail and VxRack systems previously ran on servers from original design manufacturer Quanta, but Dell EMC touted the enhanced benefits of the solution running on PowerEdge systems. These include a broader range of VxRail configurations, enhancements in compute performance and storage in all-flash nodes, and the ability to address more workloads and bring hyperconverged systems to smaller customers, with lower entry prices starting at $45,000.

Elswhere, Dell EMC announced updates to its Elastic Cloud Storage object storage platform. The new ECS 3.0 is aimed at both private and dedicated cloud services and designed to replace enterprise tape backup, the company said. ECS 3.0 also supports Dell’s PowerEdge servers, and will soon be certified to run on Dell EMC’s DSS 7000 and other systems.

EMC’s Project Nitro also saw an update. It’s now known as the Isilon All-Flash Network Attached Storage solution for unstructured data, and is now able to scale to 92.4 petabytes per cluster. Dell EMC said Isilon runs on the OneFS operating system, and can integrate with existing Isilon clusters, hard drives and flash.

Dell EMC also touted a common management tool and data protection experience, as part of a combined strategy for SC Series storage customers. The midmarket SC Series, which was previously known as Compellent storage arrays, will be interoperable with EMC’s portfolio. The primary aim here is to allow customers to mix and match storage products to their heart’s content, the company said.

Finally, the company announced a software-defined version of Dell EMC Data Domain protection to deliver a unified management experience, integration with cloud workloads, and deduplication. Data Domain Virtual Edition 3.0 also runs on PowerEdge servers, and is compatible with both VMware’s vSphere and Microsoft’s Hyper-V.
