Qualstar Corporation, founded in 1984 and headquartered in Simi Valley, California, is a well-established company that specialises in the design, development, and manufacturing of data storage and power supply solutions. With a rich history spanning nearly four decades, Qualstar has become known for its reliability, innovation, and commitment to delivering high-quality products for businesses with demanding data storage needs. Initially recognized for its high-capacity tape drives, Qualstar has successfully evolved to meet the changing requirements of the digital age, addressing the exponential growth in data and the need for cost-effective, scalable storage solutions.
One of Qualstar's primary focuses is on providing robust data storage systems, particularly for industries where data retention and accessibility are critical, such as media, healthcare, finance, government, and education. The company's flagship products include a line of scalable tape libraries that are widely used for data archiving, backup, and long-term storage. Tape libraries, though an older technology, remain a reliable and cost-efficient solution for large-scale data storage due to their longevity, durability, and energy efficiency. Qualstar’s tape libraries are compatible with Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology, an open-format standard developed by leading technology companies, which allows for significant scalability and compatibility across different systems.
