Which company completed the world’s largest technology acquisition when it bought EMC in 2016?

Dell Technologies completed the world’s largest technology acquisition when it bought EMC in 2016.

Dell Technologies was formed after Dell and investment firm Silver Lake acquired EMC in a transaction announced in 2015 and completed on September 7, 2016. The deal was valued at approximately $67 billion and brought EMC’s storage business and VMware stake into the combined company.

The transaction created a large enterprise-technology provider spanning personal computers, servers, storage, and services. Dell Technologies is sometimes confused with Dell Inc., the computer company, because Dell Inc. became part of the larger parent structure. VMware was associated with the deal, but it was not identical to EMC and later became independent from Dell.
