 |
| |
| Founded in 1980, Quantum is the leading global storage company specializing in backup, recovery and archive solutions. Customers’ data protection and retention challenges are complex and rapidly evolving, and the need for a category expert is essential to success. Because all of Quantum’s resources are dedicated to backup, recovery and archive, the company offers the focused expertise, customer-driven innovation and platform independence that storage generalists, such as system OEMs and primary storage providers, cannot match. This combination helps customers solve data protection and retention issues more easily, effectively and securely. In addition, unlike start-ups that offer point products or technologies, Quantum has the global scale and scope to support a worldwide customer base, along with a comprehensive portfolio of systems, software, devices and services. | | |
