Hybrid Cloud Is The Focus For Dell-EMC

"I honestly don't believe that public [cloud] is the right answer or private [cloud] is the right answer," said Tucci. "Our strength is in data centers. So we've got to come from the private side out, but we've got to offer customers a hybrid experience."

Tucci said customers are not going to put everything in data centers or continue to build data centers because they're going to want to use a public cloud offering as well.

"We're coming from a private and we're going to offer public. Obviously, Amazon and Azure are coming exactly the opposite way," said Tucci. "But I truly believe it's not public or private that's going to win, it's the combination that's going to win and that's why when you look at the assets we have through the envisioned new company, I believe they're second to none."
