Michael Dell has always had the foresight to skate where the puck is going. Year after year, the IT leader has discovered ways to reinvent the company he founded in 1984 inside his dorm room at the University of Texas in Austin.
Dell has made some of the most successful IT bets in history, turning this once-PC-only company into a $92 billion powerhouse that is the worldwide leader in hyperconverged infrastructure, storage, servers and virtualization. However, Dell has never been more excited about the future of his company as he looks at the immense opportunities ahead around 5G, edge computing and customers seeking a single vendor like Dell Technologies that can support all of their IT needs.
In an interview with CRN in mid-March as the full impact of the coronavirus was still playing out, Dell discussed the work-from-home movement and broke down his plans around R&D spending, making acquisitions and winning more market share in the networking space.
