Dell acquires data center networking specialist Force10 Networks as an investment to further broaden its networking portfolio.
Force10 is a global leader in data center networking for service provider and enterprise customers, and the creator of Open Cloud Networking technology.
Dell will combine Force1o's technologies with the current PowerConnect portfolio, in a bid to offer a comprehensive switching strategy for data center, enterprise and campus/branch use.
It will also continue maintaining existing Force10 customers, which include leading Web 2.0 and Fortune 100 companies.
