MATERIALS FOR CUSTOMER AND PARTNER QUESTIONS ON VMWARE’S ANNOUNCEMENT TO ACQUIRE PIVOTAL

As Michael’s blog on Inside Dell Technologies on August 22 noted, VMware announced definitive agreement to acquire Pivotal.

VMware is the leader in data center software. Pivotal is the leader in container-based cloud native application development. When you consider containers – specifically Kubernetes – have emerged as the standard for developing workloads in the multi-cloud world, this represents a powerful combination. And would create the only company capable of building, running and managing Kubernetes-based applications with speed and efficiency.

Additionally, the proposed transaction would increase Dell Technologies Cloud’s competitive advantage and give our customers a single, consistent platform for both traditional and cloud-native workloads for hybrid cloud environments. It would also deliver to our customers and partners simplified solutions with faster features development.

It’s important to remember that the definitive agreement between VMware and Pivotal, two publicly traded companies, has been negotiated by independent, special committees of their respective Boards of Directors. The special committees have established strong safeguards and controls to ensure a fair and open process, including approval by a majority of Pivotal’s public shareholders and the satisfaction of a number of other conditions.

We are innovating across Dell Technologies to unleash the power of data to build a better world. The addition of Pivotal to VMware’s already impressive capabilities accelerates these efforts and represents another step toward the digital future that lies ahead.
