VIP Diversify Portfolio with Feature-Rich

QNAP NAS Range

VIP Computer Centre Ltd (VIP), the UK’s leading independent distributor of computer components and peripherals, today announced the addition of QNAP’s sophisticated NAS range; adding an extra level of diversification to the Warrington distributors product portfolio.

QNAP NAS targets home and small business users with their award-winning, high performance range of storage and back-up solutions. VIP are looking towards helping QNAP raise their UK presence in-line with the success they have already achieved elsewhere in Europe and further afield.

Initially, VIP have three QNAP SKUs in stock, including the TS-119 (VIP Order Code: 101260), TS-219 (VIP Order Code: 101261) and TS-409 Pro (VIP Order Code: 101325). This offers resellers a choice of one, two and four-bay, stylishly designed network storage options, each packed with features and offering outstanding specifications and performance supported by reassuring levels of stability and reliability.

VIP’s decision to take on QNAP is partly due to the explosive growth seen in NAS which is partly attributed to the increase in digital media and the rise of the digital home. As consumers are getting to grips with a wider range of technology and thanks to the simple web-based user interface of the QNAP range, it is easy to see why VIP believe their new addition can achieve success in the UK.

Mark Lynch, Product Manager at VIP, commented: “Whilst VIP’s core product line has traditionally been components based, we have added new product lines such as the QNAP NAS range to support our resellers as consumers look to move towards a totally integrated digital home.”

Evan Chen, Business Development Manager at QNAP, added: "QNAP is the leading NASprovider and has been recognised with global awards from leading titles such as PC Pro, MacWorld and PCW in the UK. We are pleased to offer our leading NAS range to VIP’s immense reseller base. By adding totheir portfolio, we hope to provide a growing number of UK users with NAS products that meet their versatile and multi-functional application requirements."
