Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT) Unveils New Branding to Match Business Focus

Rebranding distinguishes QCT—which is delivering its own brand of cloud datacenter technology and services—from ODM-focused parent company Quanta Computer Inc.

OPEN COMPUTE PROJECT SUMMIT — SAN JOSE, Calif. — March 10, 2015 – QCT (Quanta Cloud Technology), advanced hardware and integrated systems provider to cloud datacenters worldwide, today unveiled new corporate branding and positioning, clearly marking the differences in focus and capabilities between the company and its parent, Quanta Computer Inc.

   

QCT launched at the May 2012 Open Compute Summit in San Antonio, Tex., selling hardware made by Quanta Computer Inc. QCT has since leveraged the Quanta logo and branding, which was useful in helping the market understand the connection between the two companies. Eventually, however, this led to confusion regarding the market positioning and capabilities of the two companies.

The new QCT branding unveiled today separates the two businesses’ brands to better communicate the QCT market positioning and value proposition. Quanta – Quanta Computer Inc., the parent of QCT – focuses on the ODM market. By contrast, QCT (Quanta Cloud Technology) sells, integrates and services its own brand of datacenter gear. QCT sells directly to cloud service providers, large enterprises, and – through channel partners – to enterprises and SMBs. QCT also provides a wide range of services to its customers, including configuration, integration and optimization services. These services are provided directly by QCT to cloud service providers, large enterprises and its channel partners. For enterprises and SMBs, these services are provided through QCT channel partners.
