Emulex Opens Subsidiary in Beijing

Emulex Corporation announced
that after more than five years of ongoing investment in the region, the
company has established Emulex (Beijing) Networking Technology Co. Ltd., a
service oriented, wholly foreign-owned enterprise (WFOE), located in Beijing,
China at the Gateway Plaza.

Jeff Benck, president and COO, and Jimmy Yam, VP of sales for the AsiaPac
region, attend the opening ceremony of Emulex’s new office in Beijing
along with customers and industry partners.

"Founding Emulex’s
subsidiary in Beijing is a significant step in our global growth strategy,"
said Jeff Benck. "China is a
critical region to us leading the industry and further developing high growth
markets. Over the past three years, the Asia Pacific region has gone from
representing 35 to 57% of Emulex’s overall revenues. Emulex’s presence in China
is vital to our long-term growth plans, and we plan to double our investment in
the region over the next five years."

"Since 2007, when Emulex
made its appearance as a representative office in Beijing, we have been impressed
by China’s market potential," said Jimmy Yam. "With cloud computing and data center build
outs coming to the fore, China’s market demands are increasing in terms of
storage and network infrastructure. The establishment of Emulex’s subsidiary in
Beijing, China is conducive to us providing our Chinese clients and original
equipment and design manufacturer (OEM/ODM) partners in the region with better
access and support for our broad set of technologies, products and solutions."

Emulex has established customer relationships with Chinese
domestic enterprises, such as Huawei, Inspur, Lenovo, PowerLeader, Sugon and
Zhongxing Telecommunication Equipment (ZTE). Emulex has also built a strong
partnership with its distributor, Digital China Holdings Ltd,
who also has a broad reach and support across China. Emulex was
also recognized as perfect quality supplier of the year by Lenovo this year.

In addition to its Beijing office, Emulex (Beijing) Networking
Technology Co. Ltd. has a branch office in Shanghai, China.
