EMC has been classifing their HW managemnet SW, that can only be purchased at same time as there HW, and that cannot be uncoupled from their HW, as pure ISV-type 'software' business revenue for decades.
HPE does the same, as does IBM, as does Oracle.
Same shit that gets these turd companies bigging up 'cloud' their revenue, cos that's what the analysts want to hear.
