Taipei, Nov. 9, 2012 (CENS)--Maruis A. Hass, president of Dell Computer's Enterprise Solutions, recently said his company will reduce investments in contract cloud-server suppliers and shift the contracts to other manufacturers if they want to build brand name in the market.
Industry executives associated the statement with Quanta Computer Inc., one of Dell's cloud-server suppliers beginning to make own-brand cloud servers. They said Dell has sharply decreased the contracts to Quanta.
The executives estimated cloud products will further increase to account for 15% of Quanta's revenue next year after rising to 7-9% this year.
People familiar with Quanta's production pointed out that the company has shipped two-third of its contract cloud servers to online service providers Google and Amazon and the remaining one third to brand name IT suppliers like Dell.
It is understood that Quanta plans to cut down contact clouds to less than 30% of its total output next year while boosting brand name servers to 70%.
Hass recently visited business partners in mainland China and Taiwan. He assumed current position around three months ago.
Hass pointed out his company will increase investments in Taiwan and enhance partnership with Taiwan's contract suppliers.
He estimated that growth of global IT market will center in few economies over the next three years and mainland China and India will be among them.
