should read this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus,
including the risk factors and our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto,

Our fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the Friday nearest January 31.

Our Company

General

We are a leading technology solutions provider in the IT industry. Our enterprise
products include servers and networking, and storage products. Client products include mobility
and desktop PC products. Our services include a broad range of configurable IT and business
services, including infrastructure technology, consulting and applications, and business process
services. We also offer various financing alternatives, asset management services, and other
customer financial services for business and consumer customers.

We were founded in 1984 by Michael Dell on a simple concept: by selling computer
systems directly to customers, we can best understand their needs and efficiently provide the
most effective computing solutions to meet those needs. Over time we have expanded our
business model to include a broader portfolio of products and services, and we have also added
new distribution channels, such as retail, system integrators, value-added resellers, and
distributors, which allow us to reach even more end-users around the world. To optimize our
global supply chain to best serve our global customer base, we have transitioned a portion of our
production capabilities to contract manufacturers. We are investing resources in emerging
countries with an emphasis on Brazil, Russia, India, and China, where, given stable economic
conditions, we expect significant growth to occur over the next several years. We are also
creating customized products and services to meet the preferences and requirements of our
diversified global customer base.

As part of our overall growth strategy, we have completed strategic acquisitions to
augment select areas of our business with more products, services, and technology. Our recent
acquisition of Kace Networks, Inc, Scalent Systems Inc., and Ocarina Networks Inc., and our
continued integration of Perot Systems Corporation, have enabled us to expand our services
business and better position our company for immediate and long-term growth through the sale
of additional enterprise solutions.

Business Strategy

We built our reputation as a leading technology provider through listening to customers
and developing solutions that meet customer needs. We are focused on providing long-term
value creation through the delivery of customized solutions that make technology more
efficient, more accessible, and easier to use.

We are focused on improving our core business, shifting our portfolio to higher-margin
and recurring revenue streams over time, and maintaining a balance of liquidity, profitability,
and growth. We consistently focus on generating strong cash flow returns, allowing us to
expand our capabilities and acquire new ones. We seek to grow revenue over the long term
while improving operating income and cash flow growth. We have three primary components to
our strategy:

·


Improve Core Business--We seek to profitably grow the desktop and mobility
business and enhance the online buying experience for our customers. We have

improved our competitiveness through cost savings initiatives, which are focused on
improving design, supply-chain, logistics and operating expenses to adjust to the
changing dynamics of the industry. We are also committed to simplifying our product
offerings to eliminate complexity that does not generate customer value. We will
continue to focus on product leadership by developing next-generation capabilities.

Table of Contents

Additionally, we will continue to deepen our skill sets and relationships within each of
our customer-centric business units with the goal of delivering best in class products
and services globally.

·


Shift Portfolio to Higher-Margin and Recurring Revenue Offerings--We are focused
on expanding our customer solutions business by delivering best-value solutions in the
enterprise, including servers, storage, services and software. Our view is that a large
majority of the data centers and the server and storage opportunities now and in the
future will be based on best value, simplification, and more open data center solutions.
These are the kind of solutions that we believe Dell is well positioned to provide. We
believe that our installed customer base, access to customers of all sizes, and
capabilities position us to achieve growth of our customer solutions business. We will
focus our investments to grow our business organically as well as inorganically
through alliances and strategic acquisitions. Our acquisition strategy targets businesses
that we believe will expand our customer solutions business by delivering best-value
solutions in the enterprise, including servers, storage, services and software.

·


Balance Liquidity, Profitability, and Growth--We seek to maintain a strong balance
sheet with sufficient liquidity to provide us with the flexibility to respond quickly to
changes in our dynamic industry. As we shift our portfolio focus more to enterprise
products and solutions, our financial flexibility will allow us to make longer term
investments. We continue to manage all of our businesses with the goals of delivering
operating income over the long term and balancing this profitability with an
appropriate level of long-term revenue growth.

Operating Business Segments

Customer needs are increasingly being defined by how they use technology rather than
where they use it, which is why we have transitioned from a global business that is run
regionally to businesses that are globally organized. During the first quarter of our 2010 fiscal
year, we reorganized the manner in which we manage our business from geographic commercial
segments identified as Americas Commercial, EMEA Commercial, and APJ Commercial, to
global commercial business units we refer to as Large Enterprise, Public, and Small and
Medium Business, or SMB. Our global Consumer business unit remained the same. This
alignment creates a clear customer-centric focus, which we believe allows us to serve customers
with faster innovation and greater responsiveness, and enables us to better understand and
address their challenges. Our four global business segments are:

·


Large Enterprise--Our Large Enterprise customers include large global and national
corporate businesses. We believe that a single large-enterprise unit enhances our
knowledge of our customers and thus furthers our advantage in delivering globally
consistent and cost-effective solutions and services to many of the world's largest IT
users. We seek to continue improving our global leadership and relationships with
these customers. Our efforts in this segment will be increasingly focused on data
center solutions, disruptive innovation, customer segment specialization, and the value
chain of design to value, price to value, market to value, and sell to value.

·


Public--Our Public customers, which include educational institutions, government,
health care, and law enforcement agencies, operate in communities. Their missions are
aligned with their constituents' needs. Our customers measure their success against a
common goal of improving lives, and they require that their partners, vendors, and
suppliers understand their goals and execute their mission statements. We intend to
further our understanding of our Public customers' goals and missions and extend our
leadership in answering their urgent IT challenges. To meet our customers' goals more
effectively, we are focusing on simplifying IT, providing faster deployment of IT
applications, expanding our enterprise and services offerings, and strengthening our
partner relations to build best of breed integrated solutions.

·


Small and Medium Business--Our SMB segment is focused on providing small and
medium-sized businesses with the simplest and most complete standards-based IT
solutions and services, customized for their needs. Our SMB organization seeks to
accelerate the creation and delivery of specific solutions and technology to small and
medium-sized businesses worldwide in an effort to help our customers improve and
grow their businesses. For example, our ProManage-Managed Services solution is a
web-based service that proactively monitors and manages IT networks to prevent
system issues.

·


Consumer--Our Consumer business sells to customers through our online store at
www.dell.com, over the phone, and through retail. The globalization of our business
unit has improved our global sales execution and coverage through better customer
alignment, targeted sales force investments in rapidly growing countries, and
improved marketing tools. We are also designing new, innovative products with faster
development cycles and competitive features. Our recently announced Global
Communications Solutions business is part of our focus on innovative products and
designs for mobile devices. Our focus is on delivering mobile communications
solutions for wireless operators and their dedicated customers. We collaborate with
select carriers around the world to make the most of a customer's mobile experience,
on any network, and using any application. Finally, we will continue to expand and
transform our retail business in order to reach more consumers.
