More specifically, it is about $ 67 billion.



In addition to the business of selling cloud services, data warehouses and analytics solutions, EMC is the owner of RSA and VMware. The deal, in fact, is the largest in history. EMC now costs twice as much as Dell, and now there are about 70,000 people around the world working for the company.



Where is Dell going to find the money? The deal will be financed from the funds of the investment company Michael Dell. The Silver Lake Investment Fund will help to conduct the transaction. If the regulator approves the transaction, the company formed as a result of the merger will become a real giant in the market of corporate computer solutions.

Even after the merger of Dell and EMC, VMware will remain a stand-alone unit that will operate under its own brand.
