Dow Jones Description
Founded in 1988, DataDirect Networks is a leading, global supplier of storage systems specifically designed for large capacity and high bandwidth applications. Our products address complex storage system challenges faced in Internet content hosting, data backup, computer modeling and simulation, tape replacement, and the production and distribution of film and video. Our Silicon Storage Architecture (S2A) has been uniquely designed to help organizations reliably store and process the rapid growth in large data files they are experiencing, while reducing the capital costs, operating expenses, and administration overhead of the storage network. S2A Storage Systems accelerate content delivery, enable real-time collaborative workflows, and shorten design and operating cycle times. They are commonly deployed in a range of application environments, including video and film production, computer modeling and simulation, data backup and archiving, cluster and supercomputing. The data patterns these applications create and process contain much larger file sizes that must be rapidly transferred and processed, in addition to being stored. Our S2A systems are deployed by several leading Internet, media, oil & gas, and financial firms, as well as on several of the fastest computers in the world, including the top three.
