Dell is the number one PC maker, according to research firm Gartner. The company is also a leading maker of computer servers. In fact, Dell was the second-leading server vendor in terms of units shipped last year, notching a 28 percent year-over-year sales gain to 276,000 units. The company’s servers are primarily low-cost machines that take advantage of the business applications market’s trend toward smaller servers. But over the past few months, Dell has been making significant additions to its traditional computing business, moving aggressively into other areas.
