2. About StorTrends
American Megatrends has been in the data storage business since 1994, with the
inception of the MegaRAID® Host Bus Array (HBA). By 1996 AMI was well known for its
RAID expertise and was named the number one third-party host-based RAID controller
manufacturer in the world. In 2001, AMI sold its MegaRAID® Division to LSI Corporation, in
order to focus on expanding its lineup of NAS and IP-SAN solutions. The following year, AMI
launched the StorTrends® Product Division, and has moved steadily forward with its sights
set on once again being a leader in the storage market. Created by the same core
engineering team that developed the award-winning MegaRAID® controller, AMI’s
StorTrends development team is based in AMI’s R&D facility in Fremont, California and has
amassed over 60 patents in storage and data backup technology.
Today, StorTrends SAN and NAS storage appliances are installed in dozens of
countries and trusted by SMBs, local governments and institutions worldwide.
StorTrends empowers users with a fast, $exible setup and provisioning routine that
C o m mi t m e n t t o Q u a l i t y dramatically reduces the time and cost required to manage, maintain and expand a
SAN environment, whether locally or remotely.
