Xserve takes DayBegins to global markets

BANGALORE -- Xserve India Pvt. Ltd., the service, marketing and sales arm of US $3.0 billion Wistron Group recently signed a strategic partnership agreement with Bangalore based DayBegins Engineering Innovations Pvt. Ltd., to market a unique "all-in-one" Internet gateway iAppliance. Wistron Group was previously known as the design and manufacturing division of Acer Group in Taiwan.

Under this agreement, DayBegins, a leading Indian software company, specialising in network security and secure connectivity solutions, will supply its advanced Internet appliance software to AnexTEK for integration with its server hardware platforms and market them under "AnexGate" brand in India and globally. AnexTek is launching AnexGATE iAppliance series of products at one of the world’s biggest computer show -- COMPUTEX’03 in Taipei. Xserve will exclusively market these products in Asia Pacific, through its offices in Shanghai, Beijing and India.

The AnexGATE appliance consists of firewall, VPN, in-built proxy, content filter and caching, email, DNS, DHCP, intrusion detection system and optional gateway anti-virus. This AnexGATE family of iAppliances is targeted toward small and medium businesses, educational institutions and government organisations to leverage the power of Internet. AnexGATE iAppliance ensures faster Web access; meets an organisation’s critical Internet security needs, enhances employee productivity and provides inter branch or mobile user connectivity using the VPN. AnexGATE iAppliance saves costs due to reduced bandwidth consumption and license savings for applications like built-in email server.

Rahul Gupta, managing director, Xserve India, said: "We are delighted to partner with DayBegins, an organisation with solid technical expertise and rich experience in market. This unique combination of Taiwanese hardware and Indian software can provide considerable value to our customers."

He added: "The AnexGATE iAppliance Series are in line with our strategy of leveraging IP to offer solutions that enhance performance and increase efficiency of organizations. AnexGATE iAppliances will be produced and made available through Xserve in China and India, and we will explore the US, Europe and Middle East markets in the near future. Xserve will also partner with OEMs and distributors for the global markets."

Soumitra Bhattacharjee, CEO, DayBegins, added, "The partnership with Xserve is very significant for DayBegins because through this relationship, we will be able to take our innovative solutions to the global market with the AnexTEK brand."
