The world’s No. 2 PC maker said Tuesday that the new site will help it consolidate much of its operation in northern California over the next few quarters, combining several companies in the area that it has acquired.

Dell, which has seen its market share fluctuate and margins come under pressure due to increased competition from the likes of Hewlett-Packard Co (NYSE:HPQ) and Acer Inc (TPE:2353), also hopes the new facility will attract crucial talent.

Dell’s shares were up 1.3 percent at $14.44 in afternoon trade on the Nasdaq. (Reporting by Edwin Chan, editing by Gerald E. McCormick)
