As a long time Dell DCSE, etc, there has always been a component of service, much more lucrative than h/w sales, of course, and incumbent, with parts sales, on a mfg, like Dell or others. To acquire an existing service company makes clear sense, if only from the aspect of being a more potentially lucrative offering. I anticipate that H/w will go sub zero profitability, if not already there, like shipping razors to make the blades more desirable.
