                       Dell to Acquire Everdream


    ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2007--Dell
(NASDAQ:DELL) has signed an agreement to acquire privately held
Everdream Corp., a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
solutions for remote-service management.

    Terms were not disclosed and the purchase will not be final until
all closing conditions are met. Everdream is based in Fremont, Calif.,
with a second facility in Charlotte, N.C.

    The planned acquisition is a key component in Dell's strategy of
enabling customers to Simplify IT. Everdream's capabilities complement
those provided by the recently acquired SilverBack Technologies,
further enabling end-to-end remote management of customers' IT
environments. With this acquisition, Dell can now extend remote
management of critical IT assets from servers, storage, printers, etc.
to desktops, notebooks and other end-user devices globally.

    "The planned Everdream acquisition is a significant step in Dell's
next-generation service offerings and provides Dell an expanded
presence in the rapidly growing SaaS-enabled managed services market,"
said Steve Schuckenbrock, Dell senior vice president. "Everdream has
an extremely talented team that has developed industry-leading
technology enabling customers and partners to easily and affordably
manage PCs from anywhere in the world."

    Everdream products will continue to be developed for and offered
through channel partners, and will also serve as the foundation for
future Dell service offerings.
