What is Qualstar

Hi, I'm Jeff Sangpiel, CTO at Qualstar. I've been introducing myself that way to people now for a little bit after joining the Qualstar team. Biggest question I'm usually asked after that is what's Qualstar? There's a simple answer to this. Qualar is LTO. But the not so simple answer has a rich story behind it. Qualstar was founded in California, the same year we saw Beverly Hills Cop, Foot Loose, and Ghostbusters, 1984. Qualstar has always been in the tape business. Exabyte, AIT, Ninetrack, DT, Qualstar provided the means to use them all and to keep that data stored and safe.
