Micro-Star International (MSI) plans to increase the proportion of its production capacity for its MSI branded servers from 20% currently to 50%, according to the company.

Own-brand sales of business-use servers average a gross margin of about 20%, while OEM production is less profitable with gross margins lower than 20% and even as low as 10% for 1-way models, MSI pointed out.

MSI's OEM production of business-use servers currently accounts for 80% of total output, with clients including the top international brands such as Hewlett-Packard and NEC, the company indicated.
