Global second quarter revenue was $25.0 billion, up 9% Y/Y.
Storage revenue, on its side, was $4.0 billion, down 5% Y/Y and up 6% Q/Q.
The company is pleased to see double-digit demand growth across its core storage portfolio, including PowerMax, PowerScale, PowerStore, and PowerProtect Data Domain.
This strong storage performance was offset by headwinds in the partner IP portion of its HCI portfolio. ISG operating income was up 22% to $1.3 billion, due in large part to AI optimized server revenue growth and associated gross margin dollars. ISG operating income rate was up 300 basis points sequentially to 11.0% of revenue. This rate improvement was the result of operating expense scaling, driven by higher server revenue and storage profitability.
With the sequential improvement in storage profitability, the company gained scale with 6% sequential revenue growth, it were more disciplined in its pricing. It had a higher mix of Dell IP storage solutions, and a better geographic mix with more North America activity.
