Is Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) ready to begin a slew of acquisitions? Once loathe to make large buys, the company has acquired storage provider EqualLogic in the recent past, a sign that the world's second-largest PC maker sees a bright future for corporate storage. No, we're not talking those 10'x20' rentals for the boat, but for digital storage, as in hard drives.Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: JAVAD) purchased StorageTek a few years ago, and then IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) bought NovusCG just recently, so storage technology and solutions providing is apparently a hot ticket these days. Dell, one to spend hardly anything on any company compared to the competition, spent $1.4 billion for EqualLogic.
