Acquisition Overview
Dell announced the acquisition of Gale Technologies, a leading provider of infrastructure automation software that allows organizations to streamline the deployment of on-premise and hybrid clouds for self-service access to infrastructure. Gale Technologies integrates well with Dell’s Active Infrastructure family, and provides an intuitive, flexible and comprehensive foundation for application, virtual desktop infrastructure and private cloud deployments for customers. Dell has taken significant steps to expand its enterprise solutions portfolio to help IT organizations more rapidly respond to business demands, improve efficiency, and strengthen IT services quality. An example is Dell’s server and networking business which grew 11% y/y in Dell’s most recent 3QFY13 financial results. Dell was the only server provider among the top three to have positive unit growth in the quarter and expects Gale Technologies to benefit from that reach.
