History
Dell was founded in 1984 by Michael Dell as PC’s Limited while he was a student at the University of Texas at Austin. The company pioneered a direct-to-consumer sales model, allowing customers to customize computers before purchase.
It was renamed Dell Computer Corporation in 1988 and became one of the fastest-growing PC manufacturers in the 1990s. In 2013, Dell went private in a leveraged buyout led by Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners.
In 2016, Dell acquired EMC Corporation in one of the largest technology mergers in history, expanding into enterprise storage and cloud infrastructure. The combined company became Dell Technologies.
Dell returned to public markets in 2018 and continues to operate as a major global provider of IT hardware, infrastructure, and services.
