Dell to sell Google products
Dell announced this week that it plans to sell Google search devices to help businesses find data on their networks.
The Google Search Appliance is being billed as the most effective way of finding information on corporate networks and will be marketed primarily to large US firms.
It employs machines which scour corporate intranets, databases and websites for documents and thanks to an affiliate marketing scheme will be compatible with a host of Dell-produced computer systems.
Mindful of the hefty $30,000 (£14,500) price tag attached to the product, the company has also released the $1,995 Google Mini - which fulfils the same function on a more modest scale and is targeted primarily at small to medium-sized businesses.
Dell is the world’s second-largest personal computer maker. In recent times it has expressed a desire to focus increasingly on the business-side of the market, which currently accounts for 85 per cent of its revenue.
