Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) will boost its data storage products by investing $1 billion in research of technology like cloud computing and virtualization in addition to development of new data centers. As reported on PC World, Dell plans on spending most of the $1 billion toward the construction of 22 "global solution centers" to develop a broad range of products.

"'Overall we are seeing that our customers are excited about the possibilities that these technologies bring,' Bell said. 'They also come to us with questions about how to take advantage of these developments in technologies, how to harness them and make them valuable for their employees and their customers.'

"Dell will complete ten of the global solution centers in the first half of this year. The other 12 will be operational in mid-2012."
