EMC 

Dell EMC is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, United States. This company sells data storage, information security, virtualization, analytics, cloud computing and other products and services that enable organizations to store, manage, protect, and analyze data. Dell EMC’s target markets include large companies and small- and medium-sized businesses across various vertical markets.The company’s stock was added to the New York Stock Exchange on April 6, 1986, and was also listed on the S&P 500 index.

EMC was acquired by Dell in 2016; at that time, Forbes noted EMC’s “focus on developing and selling data storage and data management hardware and software and convincing its customers to buy its products independent of their other IT buying decisions” based on “best-of-breed.” It was later renamed to Dell EMC.

This company, founded in 1979 by Richard Egan, Roger Marino & John Curly ,introduced its first 64-kilobyte (65,536 bytes) memory boards for the Prime Computer in 1981 and continued with the development of memory boards for other computer types. In the mid-1980s the company expanded beyond memory to other computer data storage types and networked storage platforms. It began shipping its flagship product, the Symmetrix, in 1990.

Michael Ruettgers joined this company in 1988 and served as CEO from 1992 until January 2001. Under Ruettgers’ leadership, EMC revenues grew from $120 million to nearly $9 billion 10 years later, and the company shifted its focus from memory boards to storage systems. Ruettgers was named one of BusinessWeeks “World’s Top 25 Executives”; one of the “Best Chief Executive Officers in America” by Worth magazine; and one of Network Worlds “25 Most Powerful People in Networking”.

Some of EMC’s growth was via acquisitions of small companies.
