Taiwan-based QNAP enters India through SES

Taiwan-based QNAP Systems is making its presence in India by appointing SES
Technology to sell ISO 9001 certified Internet Appliances (IA). QNAP’s product
lines actually covers network-ing storage, digital surveillance and message
communication, however, SES will focus mainly on NAS and some Network DVR
Systems.

While the distribution arr-angement with SES is not an exclusive one, QNAP
believes that SES Technology’s devotion and passion to the business and their
extensive channels in IT field will help QNAP do well in India.

According to Roy Chuang, Director (International Sales) of the company, India
is a virgin market for QNAP. "We’ve been selling many products to Europe
and Japan for the last two years. However, certain models are best suited for
the India market if promoted with effective marketing," he added.

QNAP is a new company spun off from the IA depart-ment of IEI, which had been
doing IA business for three years. In India, QNAP will be competing with
products from Iomega and Dell in the net-working storage space.
