MICS and the Chinese Inspur corporation signed an agreement under which the Russian company was assigned a Platinum partner status to distribute the full range of Inspur server hardware, ranging from x86-standard product line of servers to enterprise-level servers, and enterprise-class data storage systems.
In the framework of the agreement MICS is prepared to provide its channel partners with Inspur products for testing, on the basis of which an authority may take a decision to move the products of the Chinese manufacturer.
Inspur products and solutions are designed for use in spheres of education and science, communication and telecommunication, transportation, medicine, industrial sectors, and government institutions. Inspur server hardware and storage systems have been tested in Russia over the past four years and received all the necessary certifications. The manufacturer provides a three year warranty on their products, including the first year of free support on-site. Two authorized service centers will implement customer and technical support of Inspur equipment in Russia.
"We view Russia as a priority and promising market for our products. We have a long and careful approach to choosing a distribution partner in Russia and opted for MICS, a company with a large set of competencies, branched out and solid work experience in the market. We hope that cooperation with MICS will advance Inspur solutions in areas where there is a need for reliable and efficient operation of equipment associated with processing of big data," said Chen Wen, the representative of the Inspur International Department in Russia.
"We welcome such a powerful player as Inspur coming to the Russian market. The Agreement with Inspur is in line with MICS strategy for the development of the project distribution, and we will actively pursue vendor’s servers and storage systems in projects to come. We are quite sure that vast line of Inspur products will allow us to offer the market a wide range of comprehensive and competitive solutions. We hope that the implementation of the agreement will open new business opportunities for both companies, "said Mikhail Smirnov, head of MICS Computer Procurement Division.
