BEIJING--StoreAge Networking Technologies, the leading provider of split-path SAN storage management and advanced multi-tiered, data protection solutions, today announced that it has opened an office in Beijing, China. StoreAge (Beijing) Co., Ltd. will focus on developing and maintaining relationships with Chinese distributors and value added resellers. It will provide local technical support and pre-sales support and will serve as a training and marketing resource for Chinese customers.

“The Chinese storage market is growing rapidly, and we are seeing significant demand for StoreAge solutions,” said Dani Naor, vice president of business development for StoreAge Networking Technologies. “We have deployed our products with several key customers in China, and it is essential for us to open a Beijing office to better serve this fast growing market.”

"The market for disk storage systems in PRC has grown strongly over the past few years. It has already become the largest market in the Asia Pacific (ex Japan) region,” said Graham Penn, associate vice president – storage Asia Pacific at IDC. “In 2005 IDC recorded customer revenue for disk storage systems as US$748.2 million. The storage market in PRC is expected to continue to show exceptional growth as users increase their demand for advanced storage technology and broaden their storage management requirements. StoreAge's entry to the PRC market is timely. Its new China office will be well placed to offer support to an increasing range of customers."

“The steady growth in China’s IT market brings significant opportunities,” said Kenny Liu, general manager at StoreAge China. “Opening the branch in China was a direct response to the new IT demands imposed by the current trends.”
