- Information Storage
- The revenue from Information Storage shows a generally upward trend from 2011 to 2014, increasing from $14,684 million to $16,542 million. However, in 2015, there is a slight decline to $16,301 million, indicating a potential slowdown or stabilization in this segment.
- Enterprise Content Division
- Revenues in this division remain relatively stable but exhibit a subtle downward trend over the five-year period, decreasing from $661 million in 2011 to $599 million in 2015. This suggests a marginal contraction or challenges in growth within the Enterprise Content area.
- RSA Information Security
- This segment experiences consistent growth from $828 million in 2011 to a peak of $1,035 million in 2014, followed by a noticeable decrease to $988 million in 2015. The growth phase indicates expanding demand or successful sales efforts, but the decline in the last year warrants attention to possible market or operational issues.
- EMC Information Infrastructure
- The revenue in EMC Information Infrastructure steadily increases from $16,173 million in 2011 to $18,217 million in 2014, with a minor decrease to $17,888 million in 2015. This pattern aligns with the overall trends seen in the broader Information Storage category.
- Pivotal
- There is significant growth observed in the Pivotal segment in 2012 and 2013, with revenues jumping from $130 million to $309 million. However, this is followed by a decline to $227 million in 2014 and a partial recovery to $267 million in 2015. These fluctuations suggest volatility and potential instability in this newer or smaller division.
- EMC Information Infrastructure plus Pivotal
- Combining these two segments reveals a consistent increase in revenue from $16,303 million in 2011 to $18,444 million in 2014, then a slight decline to $18,155 million in 2015. This combined view mitigates some volatility seen in Pivotal alone but still reflects a plateau in growth toward the end of the period.
- VMware Virtual Infrastructure within EMC
- This segment demonstrates robust and steady growth, with revenues rising from $3,705 million in 2011 to $6,625 million in 2015. This represents the most significant growth among all segments analyzed, indicating a strong market position and increasing enterprise adoption.
- Corp Reconciling Items
- Data for reconciling items is missing for most years except for a negative amount in 2015 (-$76 million), which suggests adjustments or eliminations affecting consolidated revenue in that year.
- Consolidated Revenues
- The overall consolidated revenues show a consistent upward trend over the five-year period, growing from $20,008 million in 2011 to $24,704 million in 2015. The steady increase reflects general growth across the company's various business segments despite some volatility in specific areas.
