Dell enters networking
C|Net | at | by Mike
Dell Computer is taking on 3Com and other networking players, just as it has targeted larger PC makers in the past. Dell on Wednesday is officially jumping into the networking market with the release of four low-end networking devices that connect PCs and servers together in small and midsized businesses. Analysts say Dell has a good shot at succeeding in the market because its new family of products is priced much lower than its competition's. Gartner analysts, for example, have predicted that Dell will capture as much as 10 percent of the low-end switch market by 2002.
