Dell Computer, long known as a direct-to-customer personal computer vendor, expects sales of its non-PC boxes to overtake revenues from its traditional product line this year.
'We do expect that server and storage markets will surpass the PC market in Dell's revenue share,' said Jack Angelo, vice-president of the company's enterprise arm.
Dell unveiled its latest, lower-end servers, including the Power Edge 2500, 2550 and SC line, last week.
Dell executives also pushed the newest Storage Area Network and Network Attached Storage boxes - technology which helps take on the load of shelving data from over-worked computer systems.
The company plunged into the server market in 1999, while sales of its desktop and notebook computers were still high, Mr Angelo said.
When it comes to market share of personal computer sales, Dell is second worldwide but has built up expertise - and market share - in other areas such as servers and storage devices.
