Leading The Way Through Data Protection Industry Changes
Dell News, Monday, February 12th, 2024
Dell Technologies stands by its customers with steadfast support and innovative solutions for an ever-increasing threat landscape.
The data protection landscape shifted quite dramatically with the recent announcement that Cohesity would be acquiring its much larger rival, Veritas Software. Acquisitions of this size in the data protection market space are somewhat unusual, particularly when the acquiring entity is significantly smaller in both revenue and customer base than the acquired company. Bringing two technology organizations together with different cultures and overlapping product offerings is certainly going to be challenging-particularly since the stated intent is to continue supporting all the enterprise solution offerings in Veritas' portfolio for years to come and 'leave no customer behind.' In addition, they will try to do this while integrating the best capabilities of the collective product offerings from both companies. To be sure, these are laudable goals; however, it will be a delicate balancing act.
