Dell's acquisition plans

Preference for Dell's M&A plans would would be storage, software and services (decreasing order of preference).

NetApp has been touted by some as a perfect candidate for Dell.

While many analysts believe that Dell would prefer an acquisition of a storage company, a storage acquisition may impact Dell's arrangements with EMC. EMC accounts for a significant portion of Dells network storage dollars.

In software and services, Dell could attack niches in the enterprise server and storage space.

The suspects by areas include:-

Services
CSC, CapGemini, Sapient, Perot, Syntel, Atos

Storage
Netapp, Teradata

Hardware
Acer, Palm

Software
CA, TIBCO, Salesforce.com, BMC, Citrix
