Dell 1 billion dollars to develop cloud computing to reduce reliance on PC business

Lead: Foreign it writer Ben Wossen (Ben Worthen) said recently that Dell has announced it will invest 1 billion of dollars in building data centers to further develop cloud computing services, which is Dell's latest move to ease reliance on its PC core business.　　Here's the full article: Dell says it will invest $1 billion trillion this year in data center construction and further exploit cloud computing services, seen as the latest step in Dell's reliance on its PC core business.　　Dell says it will open 10 data centers around the world over the next two years, which will allow users to store information and run programs across the network, reducing Dell's equipment operating costs. Market research firm Gartner's report shows that by 2012, the cloud services market will increase revenues from $68.3 billion trillion to $102.1 billion trillion from 2010.　　This huge market demand has prompted many technology companies to build data centers for their services, including companies such as Amazon and IBM. HP has made cloud services the core of its new strategy, and IBM sees it as one of four factors for future growth drivers.　　IBM expects that by 2015, cloud computing services will generate 7 billion of billions of dollars in revenue, and the blue giant has invested more than 3 billion of billions of dollars in recent years to buy cloud services companies. For Dell, the move is further off the core of its PC business. Over half of Dell's revenue came from PC sales in the fiscal year ending January this year. Dell has also increased the number of devices and services they sell to the corporate market through acquisitions, including 800 million of dollars in acquisitions of storage servicers compellent, 3.9 billion dollars in 2009 to acquire IT service providers Perot, and other small software companies.
