Acer, which over the past couple of years has muscled its way into becoming
one of the top PC manufacturers in the world, is now looking to reclaim a part
of the highly competitive U.S.
server market.
Acer
on Feb. 21 unveiled a lineup of server and storage offerings powered by x86
processors from both Intel and Advanced Micro Devices and aimed at a number of
areas of the market, from SMBs to cloud computing environments.
The
product rollout comes about a year after Acer reinvigorated its data center
offerings with new servers and storage products in the European market, and
several years after it made its last efforts to establish a toehold in the United
States.
&”Acer
has steadily built one of the broadest lines of server and storage solutions in
the world, and now we are bringing this offering to the U.S. to meet customer
demands for cost-effective performance, simplified management, flexible
scalability and return on storage investments over time,” Gianluca
Degliesposti, vice president of worldwide business development for Acer’s
Servers and Storage business unit, said in a statement. “Our initial
family of 16 server solutions also leverages our deep expertise in
virtualization, multi-node architectures and HPC
to meet increasingly challenging needs in cloud computing and other complex
computing applications.”
