In Asia Pacific, Adaptec is looking at China, India and Australia as the

promising markets.

"India has a large market with its huge software and hardware presence.

We have ACI, Cyber Star and Neoteric as our authorized distributors in India. We

are on the move to appoint 60 premier resellers in India. There will be

incentives for the premium resellers who attain our annual quota. Indian IT is

rapidly growing and with the introduction of our new products we expect it to

grow by 30 per cent," said Vincent Chew, marketing communications manager,

Asia Pacific, Adaptec.

Recently Adaptec launched the zero-channel designs, which is an upgrade to

the RAID card family. Redundant Array of Inexpensive (or sometimes

"Independent") Disks (RAID) is a method of combining several hard

disks into one logical unit. It can offer fault tolerance and higher throughput

levels than a single hard drive or group of independent hard drives. Adaptec's

family of zero-channel RAID (ZCR) cards offer the ideal solution for customers

who want an affordable, flexible upgrade path to advanced RAID. The ZCR cards

come packaged with Adaptec's intuitive Storage Manager Pro, which greatly

simplifies RAID storage configuration and management. Users can locally and

remotely configure, and manage cards installed in one or more servers from a

single client workstation and user interface, reducing training time and

increasing efficiency. RAID provides real time data recovery with uninterrupted

access when a hard drive fails. It increases system uptime and network

availability, and protects against data loss. Moreover, the multiple drives

working in parallel increases system performance.

The company pioneered Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), a technology

that enabled end-users to easily and affordably connect their PCs, Macs, servers

and workstations to storage devices and peripherals. Today, guided by new

initiatives like IP Storage and "RAID Everywhere", the company is

striving to eliminate the barriers to storage networking and RAID technology

adoption, and to make these technologies accessible to the masses. The key

product lines are storage networking solutions, server storage solutions and

desktop solutions.
