Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL) hit a new sales record in its Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG), comprising server, storage and networking hardware, in the second quarter.
Total ISG revenue came to $11.6 billion, up a stellar 38% year on year, thanks to soaring global data infrastructure demand.
Dell’s home PCs offering, tallied under the Client Solutions Group (GSG), offset some of these gains with revenue falling 4% to $12.4 billion.
Group-wide, diluted earnings per share came to $1.17, up 86% year over year, with $1 billion returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Shares are expected to jump 3.3% when US markets open on Friday.
