SUNNYVALE, CA (ots)

Finisar Systems, a division of Finisar
Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR) specialising in SAN and LAN performance
tools, announced today the formation of its European Union
Distribution Centre. Located in the United Kingdom, Finisar Systems
(Europe) will deliver the breadth of LAN and SAN monitoring and
analysis solutions to corporations throughout Europe.
"This step reflects our strong commitment to Europe, a region that
has been a major market for Finisar from the beginning," said Bill
Shaw, General Manager of Finisar Systems.
Finisar has operated globally since it shipped its first Fibre
Channel Protocol Analyser in 1996. The company began selling in
Europe at the same time it started U.S. sales. Laky Hothi, Finisar
Manufacturing Representative GCH Test and Computer Services Ltd. for
the region, has been named Managing Director of Finisar Systems
Europe. Laky brings a vast amount of experience managing
international companies in the European market most recently 8+ years
with GCH Test and Computer Services Ltd.
"We are thrilled at the prospect of selling to the European
marketplace Finisar's extensive range of SAN and LAN products," said
Laky Hothi Finisar Systems Managing Director. "Finisar's commitment
to emerging technologies like iSCSI, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 2Gb
Fibre Channel will be a great benefit to the current and emerging SAN
and Enterprise LAN networks throughout the European Union."
Trevor Powell, Vice President of Sales, Finisar Systems said,
"Laky and his team have exceeded our expectations in the UK which in
turn has opened the door to the rest of Europe." We look forward to
continued success with GCH and our European Partners."
