10 Biggest Tech Acquisitions in History

2. Dell buys EMC – $67 billion

Many consider this to be the largest acquisition ever to take place in tech (we’ll discuss more about this when we reach number one). In October 2015, Dell announced it was buying EMC for a whopping $67 billion. While rumors had been going on for quite, the final price exceeded expectations by a long mile and the deal was not closed by the frontrunner.

EMC is a huge corporation that sells data storage, information security, analytics, cloud computing and other similar products, including VMware. For its part, Dell develops and sells computers and other related products.

Dell is to lead the company resulting from the merger, even though it is currently about half the size of EMC. Michael Dell is to run the show in the new company.
