    Dell is adding to its growing enterprise services portfolio and announced Feb. 12 that the company is acquiring MessageOne, which provides managed services for e-mail management, archiving and business continuity.

    Dell announced that it would acquire MessageOne, which is based in Austin, Texas, for $155 million in cash. The company is owned by Adam Dell, the brother of Michael Dell.
