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 integrated technology solutions provider in the IT industry. Our aim is
to provide customers with integrated business solutions. We design, develop, manufacture,
market, sell, and support a wide range of products and services that can be customized to
individual customer requirements. We also offer or arrange various customer financial services
for our business and consumer customers in the United States.

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 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. We have optimized our global
supply chain to best serve our global customer base, with a significant portion of our production
capabilities performed by contract manufacturers.

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
continued integration of Perot Systems Corporation and our completion of other acquisitions
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 will continue to focus on shifting our portfolio to higher-margin and recurring
revenue streams over time, improving our core business, and maintaining a balance of liquidity,
profitability, and growth. We consistently focus on generating strong cash flow returns, which
allows 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. In accordance with our
differentiated view of enterprise solutions, we offer our customers open, capable, affordable,
and integrated solutions. We have three primary components to our strategy:

·


Providing Efficient Enterprise Solutions. We are focused on expanding our enterprise
solutions and services, which include servers, networking, storage, and services. We
believe opportunities for data centers, servers, and storage will continue to expand,
and we are focused on providing these best-value, simplification, and more open data
center solutions to our customers. 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 in 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 will continue to target opportunities that we believe will expand our business
by delivering best-value solutions for the enterprise.

·


Creating a Flexible Value Chain and Accelerating Online Leadership. We seek to
profitably grow our desktop and mobility business and enhance the online buying
experience for our customers. We have improved our competitiveness through cost
efficiency initiatives, which are focused on improving design, supply chain, logistics,
and operating expenses to adjust to the changing dynamics of our industry. We will
continue our efforts to simplify our product offerings to eliminate complexity that
does not generate customer value and focus on product leadership by developing next
generation capabilities. Additionally, we will continue to deepen our skill sets and
relationships within each of our business segments with the goal of delivering best in
class products and services globally.

·


Balancing 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
solutions and services, which we believe will improve our profitability, 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

We believe our four global business segments allow us to serve customers with faster
innovation and greater responsiveness, and enable us to better understand and address their
challenges. Our four 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 improves 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 delivering
innovative products and services through data center and cloud computing solutions.

·


Public--Our Public customers, which include educational institutions, government,
health care, and law enforcement agencies, operate in their own 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 help them achieve their objectives.
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 (SMB)--Our SMB segment is focused on helping small
and medium-sized businesses get the most out of their technology by offering open,
capable, and affordable solutions, innovative products, and customizable services and
solutions. As cloud computing and workforce mobility become a routine part of a
growing business's operations, server and storage virtualization facilitate achievement
of the organization's IT goals. Our SMB segment continues to create and deliver
SMB-specific solutions so customers worldwide can take advantage of these emerging
technologies and grow their businesses.
