Michael Dell, 46, in recent years focused on the acquisition, such as storage and security systems, Dell hopes to reduce low-profit dependence on desktops and laptops.
Dell acquired in 2009 when Perot Systems, to spend 3.9 billion. Last year, it compete with Hewlett-Packard 3Par, ultimately failed, then the acquisition of its peer Compellent Technologies, costs $ 960,000,000.
After spending several years in the unstable, Dell recently began to enhance performance. It remained stable in the PC business, but smart phones and tablet computers are very small improvement. Since 2007, CEO Michael Dell to return to office since, Dell shares fell 35%.
In 1984, Michael Dell founded the Dell University.
Recently, Michael Dell received the "Wall Street Journal" interview, reads as follows:
The Wall Street Journal: Do you return to the CEO position for 4 years. During this time, the technology of the most surprise you is what is innovation?
Michael Dell: I may say that the rapid development of tablet PCs. I did not totally see it coming. Tablet PC is not new to Tablet PC in terms of creativity, which for some time. Clearly, recent product more successful.
Interestingly, business users do not intend to give up the smart phone, it will not give up the PC. So now we have PC, a smart phone, there are tablet PCs. That sounds good. Industry growth.
Another interesting phenomenon is the great success of Apple's iPhone. Android comes hand in hand, to achieve greater success. I would like to see this on the Tablet PC is like, including Dell, a large number of Android Tablet PC's role in this market.
The Wall Street Journal: Do you think over time, Android iPad tablet will be more than it?
Michael Dell: Not tomorrow, not after tomorrow. However, if you look 18 months ago, Andoird phone looks like, people will ask "what." Android phone is now more than the iPhone. Why is such a thing will not happen to Android Tablet PC?
The Wall Street Journal: In 2007, you big reforms in the consumer business, and it would be a great company support, you still hold this view?
Michael Dell: Dell two-thirds of the profit is not PC, only one-third, of which most are not consumer business PC. I just wanted to today's Dell positioning, people look at Dell, and then went to purchase, said, "Dell is a consumer PC company." That is absolutely not true today, looks like Dell. Of course, we want to growing consumer business, we want its profit growth.
Last quarter, our consumer business profits moderate. It looks like we have given a good bit of profit this year will remain modest. We invest a great product, but the company's epicenter will shift to enterprise solutions, services, data center, storage, virtualization, security? Not. We want to enter many markets, the consumer market is just one of them.
The Wall Street Journal: What persuaded you, make you feel the direction of the company's enterprise business is located?
Michael Dell: If there is any change, it is because I understand that Dell is in the end should do. Dell's acquisition of the past four years to see all of the companies, they focus on new areas, these areas are all I have spoken to: storage, services, data center, security, virtualization, networking, software, and enterprises.
The Wall Street Journal: In this regard, we will be able to see more acquisitions?
Michael Dell: Dell's growth will come from the original investment, organic acquisitions and partnerships. Of course, we have 61 billion U.S. dollars of business, it first came from organic growth. If you look at our profits, it is indeed subject to the impact of the acquisition, including strategic integration. We tend to small and medium-sized acquisitions, this will not change.
The Wall Street Journal: Do you consider the spin-off PC business?
Michael Dell: completely no such plan.
The Wall Street Journal: Dell in the cloud strides, where the rivals are not traditional competitors, but companies such as Rackspace, and Amazon. How would you expect the future?
Michael Dell: You mentioned the company is Dell's customers, we help them build infrastructure to support their cloud offerings. Cloud products we provide safer, more professional, the demand for large business organizations.
They are not aimed at the early record companies or consumers.
The Wall Street Journal: As companies like Amazon and Facebook, as they very large, will specify the conditions leading to damage to the server business profits?
Michael Dell: How do we think, how customers think this is somewhat different. Facebook will determine the new requirements. 10 companies want the same product, then there will be more than 100 to the same product. If they determine the product is correct, which is beneficial to both us and other customers!
The Wall Street Journal: For the current health of the economy's views?
Michael Dell: I think the economy in the parade, in emerging countries, in small and medium businesses and large enterprises have improved. However, due to budget issues, the challenges facing the field of public utilities. However, it is still some chance to, because when the budget is limited, people will find ways to save money, many times will use more information technology.
