Dell Inc. said it is exploring acquisitions to bolster its data center business, as the company aims to widen its lead in supplying computer servers that run the Web services of clients such as Google Inc. and Baidu Inc.
“We want to continue to bring innovation through acquisitions,” Amit Midha, head of Dell’s operations in the China and South Asia regions, said at a briefing in Hong Kong today. Dell is interested in buying “everything around data centers,” an area of business that is contributing half the company’s profit, he said.
