Chinese e-commerce Web site company Alibaba has announced a partnership with Intel to launch a kind of special computer to meet the e-commerce demand of small and medium businesses (SMBs) in China.
The computer, which local media reported will be made by designated PC manufacturers and embedded into Alibaba's e-commerce platform for SMBs, is expected to come out within the year. Alibaba and Intel said they have yet to choose the right PC manufacturers and have them be responsible for the production and sale of the computer.
Alibaba has lately been doing deals to bolster its services for SMBs in Asia. The company last month inked a deal in with Infomedia India to benefit smaller businesses in India.
The Alibaba.com and Infomedia partnership will combine the power of traditional print publishing with online media and e-commerce, providing Indian SMBs with a one-stop solution for global and domestic trade. Together they will create a strong online community of Indian business people and provide them with a single cost-effective channel to promote their products and source from quality suppliers in India and around the world.
