Mumbai, June 14, 2007 – Emerson Network Power (India) Pvt Ltd, (Emerson), a global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™, has unveiled its strategy to capture substantial share of the Indian rack solutions segment.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Sandeep Nair, MD, Emerson Network Power India said, “The Indian rack solutions segment has tremendous potential and we are confident of garnering a substantial market share in coming years. India’s emergence as the back office hub of the world coupled with the exponential growth of telecom and other segments has driven the need to develop and maintain world-class datacenters. Our high-tech rack solutions, which will offer turnkey solutions to all organizations, will help plug an important need felt by data centres and thereby help us further extend our leadership in the enterprise segment.”

Emerson entered the rack cooling solutions segment last year post its acquisition of Knurr AG, the global leader in Rack and Enclosure Technologies for IT and Telecom vertical. With the launch of rack-cooling solutions as part of its portfolio, Emerson Network Power now delivers the broadest portfolio of technologies - taking proven cooling technologies from room-level applications and integrating them into the rack.

To effectively reach its target audience across India, Emerson will adopt a unique sales model. In this, apart from selling to prospective customers directly, Emerson will identify and select large System Integrators (SIs) who will actively support the sale of rack solutions. Through this model, Emerson aims to leverage the relationship that these System Integrators share with the IT managers and educate them on the relevance of ‘Business Critical Continuity’. Emerson has also created a special profile for these partners referring to them as “Network Solution Partners” and plans to tap 8-10 NSPs for its rack solutions business.
