Quantum Company Backgrounder

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.

Industry Leadership

Quantum became the largest independent supplier of backup, recovery and archive solutions when it acquired Advanced Digital Information Corporation (ADIC) in August 2006. Quantum offers the industry’s broadest range of backup, recovery and archive solutions, providing performance and value across a wide range of industry sectors. The company has the most comprehensive portfolio of disk-based backup and de-duplication/replication solutions, is the #1 provider of tape automation, and is a long-standing leader in tape drives and media. In addition, Quantum’s data management software is an industry-leading technology for shared workflow and intelligent archiving in high-performance, long-term storage environments. The company’s service offerings include a complete range of coverage options to provide the right level of support for the widest possible range of IT environments.
