Dell has officially announced its intent to pick up Compellent, a provider of storage solutions with automated data management features for enterprise and cloud environments. Dell will pay $27.75 per share in cash for each share of Compellent for a total equity value of approximately $960 million, and aggregate purchase
price of about $820 million, net of Compellent’s cash. This is slightly more than what Dell initially named as the terms of the merger agreement last week.
