Description: StorageTek is a global manufacturer of high-quality data storage solutions and products which include tape storage devices, storage networking, disk storage equipment, storage management software, storage device software, and professional and support services.

The main office of StorageTek is located in Louisville, Colorado, USA. The company is currently headed Patrick J. Martin (Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer). Under his leadership, StorageTek became more customer-driven, and the company’s endeavors became more profitable.

The company was originally known as Storage Technology Corporation and was founded by former IBM engineers Jesse Awieda, Zoltan Herger, Thomas Kavanagh, and Juan Rodriquez in 1969.

The company was formally introduced to the international market in 1971 when it entered an agreement with French company Promodata. Storage Technology Corporation then established its headquarters in Hamburg, Germany in 1972. Moreover, during this period in the early 1970s, Storage Technology had also made its way to the Japanese and East Asian markets. In the later years of the decade, Storage Technology established a Disk Products division.

The company changed – actually, shortened – its name to StorageTek in 1983 and was able to challenge IBM as the leading tape storage manufacturer. It was also during this period in the 1980s when StorageTek ventured into the printer business (which lasted for more than twelve years), and the company’s expansion reached Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Furthermore, it was during this time when the company acquired the hardware and software solutions provider Documation and, in 1989, Aspen Peripherals Corporation.

In 1995, StorageTek acquired Network Systems and, a decade letter, Storability. StorageTek also entered reseller partnerships and OEM (original equipment manufacturer) agreements. These acquisitions and agreements gave the company an opportunity to expand to Toulouse, France and Ponce, Puerto Rico.

In June 2005, StorageTek announced their purchase of StorageTek for USD 4.1 billion. The acquisition was completed on August 31, 2005. StorageTek then became formally known as Sun StorageTek. The Sun StorageTek manufacturing base in Puerto Rico is currently the company’s main manufacturing facility.

StorageTek’s D-Series and FlexLine range of modular disks, in particular, were given due recognition for their quality. Since 2005, the company’s revenue from these products represents the majority of its overall storage gross.
