Dell acquires StatSoft

Dell said in a statement on the 24th that StatSoft software will be packaged with Dell x86 servers. Previously, Dell has acquired StatSoft, a predictive analytics software company, to enhance its growing software portfolio. StatSoft sales analysis, database management and integration software. The financial terms of this acquisition were not disclosed.

StatSoft's products provide capabilities such as data mining and analysis, such as discovering trends through social networks. These capabilities are designed to help companies grow and better utilize structured and unstructured data across servers and cloud resources. The main product of StatSoft is Statistica. The product for data analysis and forecasting is statistics and algorithms.

Dell is primarily a hardware company. However, due to the decline in the profitability of x86 servers and PCs, Dell has shifted its focus to software in the expired three years. Dell acquired a large number of software companies, including Quest Software, Wyse, Boomi, AppAssure, SonicWall, Clerity, and Make.

Matt Wolken, general manager of information management at Dell, spoke about this acquisition in a blog post, saying Dell already sells Kitenga analytics software. This is part of Dell's acquisition of Quest Software. StatSoft's products can be used with Kitenga products and add natural language processing capabilities for data analysis.

Wallen said Dell's servers will also include third-party software. The StatSoft tool will be used with SAP's Hana and Oracle and Microsoft's database software.
