Dell's acquisition a Wyse one

摘要

Dell's purchase of thin client maker Wyse allows the company to fill a portfolio gap that had been exploited by competitors such as HP, according to industry experts. "It was always a way that HP could maintain a foothold in an account, or as a lead-in to steal business from Dell," says Forrester Research senior analyst David Johnson, adding that the acquisition is "a great move for Dell." Dell's other recent acquisition, SonicWall, could play into the company's newfound strength in the market for thin clients and virtual desktops as well.
