Quanta QCT, US subsidiary of the Taiwanese original design manufacturer (ODM) of IT equipment, is preparing to launch a full infrastructure solution to run Microsoft private clouds on. It is servers, storage and networking equipment pre-configured with Microsoft’s upcoming server operating system Windows Server 12 and System Center software.

Quanta is different from the most commonly heard names in the IT vendor world – HPs, Dells and Ciscos of the world – in that it designs and manufactures all of its products in-house. The others, referred to as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), outsource manufacturing to companies like Foxconn and Quanta.

Mike Yang, general manager and VP of Quanta QTC, said the company’s design efforts were focused on reducing cost and complexity of cloud-infrastructure deployment.

“Our relationship with Microsoft under the Private Cloud Fast Track program and Windows Server 2012 is the most recent example of how we are using our integrated rack solution to give our datacenter customers flexible solutions that can be implemented faster than ever,” Yang said.

Microsoft uses its Private Cloud Fast Track program to work with vendors to pre-integrate their products to run its private-cloud architecture. The solutions are built using Windows Server and Microsoft’s virtualization platform Hyper-V.

Quanta unveiled the private-cloud solution at the Computex 2012 conference in Tiaipei earlier this week. At the event, the company also launched a new micro server powered by the Intel Xeon E3-1200 processor.

The product, Stratos S910-X31B, will be available through Quanta’s channel partners in the US in the third quarter. Quanta said this was the first in a lineup of microservers to come from the ODM.

These are some of the earliest off-the-shelf product announcements by Quanta. The ODM used to only produce large quantities of gear for OEMs and customized equipment for large end-users, such as Facebook, according to reports.

In May, it announced the creation of Quanta QCT, headquartered in Fremont, California (Silicon Valley), to sell off-the-shelf products in the US.

Quanta also provides financial backing to Tilera, a Silicon Valley maker of many-core processors for parallel computing, and makes servers with Tilera chips inside.
