On December 13th, Dell announced they “have entered into a definitive agreement for Dell to acquire Compellent…” Dell also said it expects the transaction to be accretive to Dell non-GAAP earnings in its Fiscal Year 2012. There is no doubt that I, along with others in the industry, have blogged and written quite a bit on this topic over recent days. There has been no bidding war, no firing of shots across the bow from one vendor to another, and no soaring stock price in this quickly executed company acquisition. In my opinion, Compellent as a brand gets a big boost now and Dell has bolstered their storage line up. So what’s next for the Compellent brand as it integrates within Dell and is Dell finished with storage vendor acquisitions?
