Market trends with respect to storage in India are bright. This concept is now getting penetrated to small companies and everyone is looking at storage. Cost and competition will be the challenge.
Based on our market experience, we see that brands like EMC, NetApp, IBM and HP are very popular. But, as far as our association with AMI is concerned, the product range it deals in for AMI includes Store Trends and Safe Trends. We are system integrators integrating AMI as part of our solutions. We found AMI has very good features comparable to large brand of Unified Storage.
We also provide after-sales support for AMI products. We believe that it is very important for the success of any brand. AMI provides good support as they are locally present.
As of now, we are getting healthy margins from AMI. It offers very rich features in the Unified Storage category and the competition is very minimum in this category. Currently, the product is also priced aggressively. Our solution value goes up because we offer optimized solution to SMEs using AMI.
Besides mentioned above, friendly neighbourhood with R&D and production in our own country are the other benefits we get from our association with AMI.
