Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events In October 2014, EMC entered into a definitive agreement to reorganize and recapitalize VCE, which will result in EMC acquiring the controlling interest in VCE and Cisco retaining the remaining 10% ownership stake. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to customary regulatory approvals. Upon closing, EMC will begin reporting the VCE financial results as part of its consolidated financial statements.
