Dell push in enterprise server market
October 31, 2013 Category Uncategorized
Computer maker Dell plans to bolster its lead in China’s growing market for enterprise servers, despite efforts by rival Lenovo to expand operations in that niche over the next few years. Dell, which is the world’s third-largest personal computer supplier behind Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard, is also expected “to accelerate development of its capabilities in the market”, Philip Davis, Asia-Pacific Vice President for Dell’s enterprise solutions business, told the South China Morning Post. The company’s “Greater China” operations, which include Hong Kong and Taiwan, employ about 9,000 staff. It plans to add about 100 new sales and marketing personnel this fourth quarter to meet further expansion in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in tier-four to tier-six cities. Dell is spending about USD25 billion a year in China in terms of manufacturing, the sourcing of information-technology components and related products. According to Eric Peng, Research Manager at IDC in Beijing, Dell has led server shipments in China for the past five quarters, but Lenovo has said it would become a bigger player in the server business within three years.
