Dell has found a way to strengthen their systems management, data protection and security services and that is by purchasing the enterprise software specialist Quest Software for a mild $2.4 billion dollars. This will provide Dell with critical components that will expand its software capabilities in the systems management, data security, and data protection. This will mean they will assume control of the SonicWALL and Secureworks security solutions of Quest on top its monitoring solutions for applications, networks and database and its sever management solutions. This should close in the third fiscal quarter once it is approved by the shareholders of Quest.
