History[edit]

The parent company of QCT is Quanta Computer Inc. (Quanta), a prominent member of the Fortune Global 500, boasting a workforce of approximately 9,000 personnel stationed across global engineering, manufacturing, and service facilities. QCT was established in May 2012 to manufacture servers for end users.[2] In the course of 2012, QCT also added storage hardware and networking switches to its portfolio[3] and became a hardware provider in the cloud market.[4] In 2013 QCT added rack systems to its product portfolio.[5] In 2015 QCT partnered with software vendors [6][7][8] to offer software-defined, hyper-converged infrastructure solutions for a variety of cloud environments: public, private and hybrid. Mike Yang serves as general manager of QCT.[9]
