@Mark — Thanks for your question. We believe this is an important strategic acquisition for our storage business and helps drive our business strategy forward. Even though we are paying a premium, we expect the transaction to be accretive to Dell’s non-GAAP earnings in FY12 when synergies are considered. 3PAR’s technology provides a very critical capability that our customers are asking for — this acquisition will provide our customers will choice. The acquisition of 3PAR will enhance our position in cloud-based storage applications and improve our profitability in the large, growing mid to high-end SAN segment.
