NEWS Following a fourth quarter slump, StorageTek has pledged to concentrate on two of its more successful existing business units.
The company is hoping to increase its storage area network (SAN) installed base from the 400 sites it currently counts worldwide, and push its Virtual enterprise disk and tape businesses. The storage specialist claims its virtual disk architecture allows users to cut backup time, and take rapid growth - common among dot-com companies - in their stride.
Robert Huntley, StorageTek marketing director, said: "Storage is the building block of any kind of ebusiness, and we're different to companies like EMC because our SANs are open."
The company claims its 9500 SVA virtual disk architecture can drastically reduce backup time.
Lufthansa Systems uses the technology in its datacentres throughout Europe.
