Dell on April 2 said it is buying Wyse Technology to expand its business offerings in the Internet "cloud" in the face of softening demand for traditional computing hardware.
The Texas-based computer maker did not disclose financial terms of the deal for Wyse, which has its headquarters in the California city of San Jose.
Virtualization is a hot trend in which software can get a single computer do the work of several machines. Dell saw the take-over as broadening the array of online services it sells to businesses at a time when global sales of personal computers is slowing.
IDC enterprise platform research group vice president Matt Eastwood expected the multi-billion-dollar market for desktop computing "Virtualization solutions" in big data centres to see strong growth globally in the years ahead.
