Acer's PC business should cover PCs monitors, projectors and servers, while the cloud and data center business will cover mainly Acer's build your own cloud and e-Enabling Data Center business units.

The cunning plan is to give flexibility for Acer to either attract strategic investors or off-load businesses that are not making enough cash. The planned holding company may be formed in the second half of the year.
