S.M.B.

Mr. Haas said that Dell would continue to focus on S.M.B.'s, which generally produce higher profit margins for Dell than the consumer or giant corporation sectors.

While Dell seems to know what time it is, part of its challenge may involve educating its S.M.B. customers.

Dell aims this product mostly at small and medium-size businesses, or what the tech industry calls S.M.B.'s.

Longer term, Dell expects to move more S.M.B. computing to its own big cloud and sell computing as a service.
