Zadara Storage Expands Into China

Zadara Storage Ltd, has joined with China’s Futong (formally Beijing Futong Dongfang Technology Co., Ltd) to make its technology and solutions available in the People’s Republic of China.

Futong, a longtime IT distributor and reseller, has transformed in recent years into a technology vendor and solutions provider, focusing on enterprise IT products and services.

Futong and Zadara Storage entered into a cooperation agreement, under which the two firms agreed to cooperate with the goal of jointly stimulating the growth of China’s domestic enterprise SDS market. Toward that end, they have begun offering flexible, efficient, cost effective, and scalable storage solutions and services, and have already initiated installations at multiple customer sites.

Futong chairman, Mr. Chen Jian, said: “Futong and the entrepreneurs at Zadara Storage have a ten-year history of fruitful collaboration. Looking forward, there are rih opportunities for cooperation in the field of enterprise storage. Given the track record and trust between our two companies, we expect to work closely together and reap a bumper crop.“

“It is a delight to be working with Mr. Chen and Futong again,” replied Zadara CEO, Nelson Nahum. “The Chinese domestic market is ready for software-defined storage and has already shown a preference for the economic and agility benefits that it delivers. In Futong we have the right complement, given their technical ability and market reach.“
