This is the resolved re-verification of Dell EMC's EMC-storage lineage. Dell EMC holds exactly 8 MA-L blocks under the "Dell EMC" registrant — 00:00:97, 00:01:44, 00:12:48, 00:15:30, 00:60:48, 08:00:1B, 7C:C9:5A, and 8C:CF:09 — and the EMC storage lineage additionally surfaces the legacy block 00:60:16, registered to "CLARIION" (Southboro, MA), the DGC/CLARiiON storage-array heritage that appears in EMC CX/VNX World-Wide Names. The oldest "Dell EMC" blocks (00:60:48, 00:00:97, 00:01:44, 08:00:1B) trace to legacy EMC lineage and now appear under the "Dell EMC" registrant string. Dell EMC is the enterprise-storage/infrastructure brand formed by Dell's 2016 acquisition of EMC, and this entry is distinct from the separately-documented "Dell Inc." registrant (~182 blocks, clients/servers/iDRAC) and the single-block "Dell Technologies" registrant. These OUIs appear on enterprise storage arrays and converged/hyperconverged infrastructure — PowerStore, PowerMax/VMAX, Isilon/PowerScale, Data Domain, and Unity, plus legacy CLARiiON CX. For triage, a Dell EMC (or CLARiiON) OUI in a data-center ARP/switch table indicates storage arrays or their management/service-processor interfaces — the storage tier, not client PCs — useful for distinguishing storage from compute, and a high-value asset that should already be in the CMDB.
- IEEE assignment
- 8 prefixes → Dell EMC; plus 1 legacy EMC-lineage block 00:60:16 → "CLARIION" (Southboro, MA, US) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (maclookup.app)
- Registry / block size
- MA-L only; 8 "Dell EMC" blocks + 1 "CLARIION" block [Confirmed] — maclookup.app (IEEE-derived). NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date (oui.csv columns are only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address); any "date registered" from third-party tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

- Dell EMC (8) — 00:00:97, 00:01:44, 00:12:48, 00:15:30, 00:60:48, 08:00:1B, 7C:C9:5A, 8C:CF:09; legacy EMC lineage — 00:60:16 ("CLARIION", Southboro MA) [Confirmed] — maclookup.app
- Special note
- Distinct from "Dell Inc." (~182 blocks; clients/servers/iDRAC) and "Dell Technologies" (1 block). Legacy EMC blocks now appear under the "Dell EMC" registrant; 00:60:16 is the legacy "CLARIION" registrant (DGC/CLARiiON storage heritage, appears in EMC CX/VNX WWNs). Normalize the EMC lineage to the Dell family. [Confirmed]
