Virtualization Solutions alongside VMware During Ten City China Tour Organized
by Digital China
BEIJING & FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
DataCore Software, the leading provider of storage virtualization, business
continuity and disaster recovery software solutions, today announced that it has
already begun the first in a series of ten events focused on server and storage
virtualization solutions throughout major markets in China. Digital China,
VMware and DataCore have organized the events due to the growing interest and
demand for virtualization solutions across China. VMware, the leader in server
virtualization, and DataCore, the leading storage software virtualization
provider, have worked together with Digital China to set up the tour to showcase
the benefits of `going virtual` to hundreds of partners at each event. Each city
roadshow will feature technology and sales presentations, product demonstrations
and virtualization tutorials designed to help partners take advantage of the
virtualization business opportunity.
Hosted by Digital China, the largest IT product distributor in China, the
roadshows began in Shandong Province in May and will end on June 23rd in
Nanjing. In total, the roadshows are scheduled to take place in Beijing,
Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Jinan, Shenyang, Wuhan, and
Chengdu.
"China is a rapidly growing market for DataCore due to the demand for
virtualization and storage management solutions together with the government
mandated Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity initiatives," said Peter
Thompson, Vice President and Managing Director of Asia Pacific, DataCore
Software. "In terms of DataCore and storage virtualization, China represents an
excellent market opportunity since there are many data centers and government
projects that contain a diverse set of storage arrays from different vendors,
therefore solutions like ours that can work across these different types of
storage devices and can manage, protect and optimize storage resources are now
critical."
Virtualization technology has become the `Hot` topic in China lately, and the
two featured vendors at all of the scheduled Digital China roadshows will be
DataCore and VMware. The first phase of the tour covered Jinan, Hangzhou,
Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Remaining dates for the remaining cities follow: May
21st - Shanghai, May 26th - Shengyang, June 5th - Beijing, June 11th - Xi'an,
June 18th - Chengdu, June 23rd - Nanjing.
Digital China has organized the tour and provided a venue for a great number of
resellers to learn about the productivity benefits of virtualization software
from DataCore and VMware. "Digital China is the largest IT product distributor
in China with a network of over 9,000 resellers and agents across the country,"
adds Thompson. "They are a lynchpin to our go-to-market strategy in China."
Registration demand reveals that these virtualization roadshows are poised to be
the best attended roadshows of their kind put on by an IT distributor in China.
