Moreover, the cost of this transaction can reach almost a billion dollars - now we are talking about the amount of 900 million US dollars. This is a bit undervalued, which is now the exception rather than the rules. Currently, among IT corporations, the rate is overpricing for your favorite startup or company.
In some cases, this is not about a couple of percent, but about overcharging several times (for example, a failed Google and Groupon deal, where the search giant offered $ 5 billion instead of $ 1-2 for Groupon). So, Compellent Technologies needed Dell for the development of such areas as data storage.
It is worth noting that in the current market this sector is extremely relevant, and at the same time several corporations have started developing new solutions in the field of data storage, mainly corporate solutions. So, among the competitors Dell in this industry now includes companies such as IBM and HP. The latter recently bought the company 3Par, which was also claimed by Dell itself. HP just offered a large amount, and now Dell has to look for a replacement for a failed purchase.

At present, the deal between Dell and Compellent Technologies is entering the final stage, so it’s likely that we will soon hear about the completion of the purchase and see the new solutions offered by Dell. At least that's what's going on.
The management of Dell believes that the deal with Compellent Technologies is a logical continuation of the development of both companies, and as a result, Dell will be able to offer unique products that will help the corporate segment to increase the reliability of storing large data sets. In principle, nothing is said about the new solutions - and it’s too early to say anything yet, because the deal did not take place.
