Nobody in the industry saw this coming. However Dell being EMC's largest partner it only makes sense! I do wonder what Dell is going to do with the ECD (Software side of EMC including Documentum, ApplicationXtender, and Captiva). Perhaps they will sell this division off to another company? Dell isn't known for its software offerings in the past. Both Oracle and HP aren't too happy about it! Should be interesting!
