Dive Insight:

With all of the spotlight that other tech companies get in education, Dell's presence sometimes doesn't get the attention it deserves. Aside from the aforementioned solutions it provides to colleges like those listed above, a vast majority of campus computers are often Dells. If you want to check out any of the company's sessions and panels at Educause, it has a page dedicated to the conference here.
