Michael Dell started building PCs in a University of Texas dorm room in 1984, and direct-to-customer sales with build-to-order assembly defined the company for two decades. It went private in 2013 with Silver Lake, bought EMC in 2016 in the largest technology acquisition to that point, and returned to public markets in 2018 through a tracking-stock transaction. VMware was spun off in 2021. What remains, headquartered in Round Rock, Texas, is a client business selling PCs and a server, storage, and networking business selling to enterprises and, increasingly, AI infrastructure buyers.
