I have spoken many times about the impact that cloud computing, in all its forms, is having on the industry. Our Virtustream business, led by Rodney Rogers is a key part of our growth strategy, with its focus on managed cloud services for mission critical applications for enterprise customers.
This, along with the growing momentum of vCloud Air, for hybrid usage, gives us unique assets. I truly believe that by combining our cloud assets and capabilities we can create a recognized leader in the on and off prem enterprise cloud industry.
The coming together with Dell will expand our joint cloud opportunities even further, providing more depth and breadth with enterprise customers, and, of course, in the government, healthcare and SMB markets, where Dell has core strengths. Converged infrastructure is one of our fastest growing areas and with this combination our CI business will be incredibly well positioned. Michael and I have discussed this at length and truly see huge opportunity here.
Of course we will continue the partnership we have with Cisco in networking, UCS and vBlock, and we will look for other complementary areas with them. The opportunity for both companies in security is massive as we each have great assets and brands in this area.
I am incredibly pleased that Michael and I have agreed that the headquarters of our combined Enterprise Systems Business will remain in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. In this business we will join our server, storage, converged infrastructure and other related capabilities. Now, the winds of change have once again brought us together, and in fact we see this forming a tail wind that will help us move forward in creating a new company for the new IT era we are entering.

Then data became really big and started eating the world, leading to the rise of digital natives especially Google, Amazon and Facebook and another restructuring of the IT industry , and another shift in the nature of IT buying decisions and the type of IT buyers.
In response to these changes, EMC has agreed to be acquired by Dell in the largest-ever tech merger. Like other entrepreneurs they wanted to be their own bosses, but without an idea or a plan for a product, they initially sold office furniture. I like smart people. I like athletes. The realization that the users are Customers with all the rights to which Customers are entitled has become widespread. One way the end users are exercising their rights is by demanding performance improvements at the lowest price from the best suppliers regardless of who manufactured the original processor.
By treating end users like Customers and by making optimum use of new technology to provide better performance and reliability, EMC has become a valued supplier to over 10, computer users. August Dick Egan hires Moshe Yanai and gives him free reign to develop a mainframe disk storage system. But he realized that one of the segments in the middle of the pyramid, represented by disk storage with a relatively high cost per megabyte was a much larger market in terms of potential revenues than the markets at the top and bottom of the pyramid.
With the right product, EMC could repeat the success it had in the plug-compatible memory market where it had enjoyed the price umbrella provided by mini-computer vendors selling their proprietary and expensive memory products. September EMC introduces Symmetrix Integrated Cached Disk Array, a mainframe computer storage device, combining an array of PC disks with large cache memory for fast access to data and high availability in a small footprint.
January Capitalizing on the server-agnostic nature of the Symmetrix product line, EMC signs an OEM agreement with Unisys to supply it with compatible storage systems. A similar agreement was signed with France-based Groupe Bull in April May Inc. Rich as he is, Egan now burns as hot as ever.
He stokes the fire in his employees by making bets against them, by giving them big odds on meeting a product deadline or on solving an engineering riddle and then putting up his own money and demanding they do the same.
