History
Dell Technologies has its roots in the early 1980s, when Michael Dell founded PC's Limited in his dorm room at the University of Texas. The company's initial focus was on building and selling custom PCs directly to customers, bypassing traditional retailers and distributors. This business model, known as direct sales, allowed Dell to offer high-quality PCs at competitive prices, and the company quickly gained popularity among customers.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Dell expanded its product line to include servers, storage systems, and other computer-related products. The company also established a strong presence in the global market, opening offices and manufacturing facilities in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
In 1994, Dell moved its headquarters to Round Rock, Texas, where it has remained ever since. The company continued to grow and expand its product line throughout the 1990s and 2000s, and in 2009, it acquired Perot Systems, a healthcare technology company founded by Ross Perot.
In 2016, Dell acquired EMC Corporation, a leading provider of data storage and management solutions, in a deal worth over $60 billion. The acquisition created a technology giant with a combined revenue of over $80 billion, and marked a significant milestone in Dell's history.
