Also at Dell Technologies World 2019, the company extended its leadership in edge computing with the announcement of Unified Workspace, which integrates solutions across Dell devices and services, VMware Workspace ONE, and Secureworks to simplify the entire device lifecycle for IT.

Dell Technologies ended the quarter with cash and investments balance of USD 9.8 billion. The company paid down approximately USD 400 million in gross debt in the first quarter and approximately USD 15 billion in gross debt over the two-and-a-half years since the closing of the EMC transaction, excluding Dell Financial Services-related debt, public subsidiary debt, and debt incurred to finance the Class-V transaction. The company is on track to repay approximately USD 4.8 billion of gross debt in fiscal 2020.
