In this Breaking Analysis Dave Vellante discusses how spending data from ETR, blended with insights from theCUBE can provide deep insights. He uses several real world examples to explain key ETR metrics like Market Share and Net Score to evaluate competition and key trends.

This past week we attended the Dell Technologies Industry Analyst event and in this Breaking analysis Dave Vellante summarize the key takeaways and discusses some of the macro trends in the industry that are affecting Dell. He also shares some of the fundamental assumptions that Dell is making in its operating model and talks about some of the challenges the company going forward. 


The number one takeaway on Dell is that in four years, the company has gone from irrelevance to a dominant and highly relevant player in enterprise tech. It's one of the most amazing transformations of a company ever seen. But there are challenges. Cloud is muting spending for on-prem infrastructure making share gains critical. Dell, while simplifying its portfolio, still has work to do. The edge is an opportunity but Dell currently doesn't have the developer chops to really thrive in Vellante's opinion.

Spending data from ETR shows that the cybersecurity space is bifurcating. Decades of spending on new tools have led to a sea of complexity that, combined with cloud, edge and an explosion of endpoints has made life extremely difficult for CISOs and security practitioners. In this episode of theCUBE Insights, Powered by ETR, Dave Vellante unpacks the major trends in the market and highlights those vendors with momentum and those that are showing decreased spending from their installed bases. He also shares some insights from security experts that have come inside theCUBE.
