Dell EMC Surveillance Division Profile

Author: Brian Karas, Published on Apr 20, 2017

With revenue growth from traditional IT customers slowing, Dell has set a focus on the security industry as a market where the company can offer its products to customers with less focus on price and more on performance. Security buyers are often price sensitive, yet Dell has managed to create a sizable revenue stream in the security industry, though their products are rarely, if ever, the lowest cost.

IPVM spoke with a Dell executive about their approach to the security market, total revenue, and how/where their products have been most successful in the industry.
