China EC Net will distribute these products from its website, www.eccn.com.

“Partnering with China EC Net is a key move in expanding the presence of our legacy memory products in Greater China,” said Dan Gilbert, vice president of sales for Alliance Memory. “In addition to having branches in the region’s major cities, the company’s ‘Power Grid’ online community for electronic engineers has more than 630,000 members and receives more than 30 million hits per month. This is tremendous exposure for our solutions, and it will translate into increased sales throughout Greater China.”
