Data Management and Storage
According to Wikipedia and its sources “The world’s technological per-capita capacity to store information has roughly doubled every 40 months since the 1980s, [and] as of 2012, every day 2.5 exabytes (2.5×1018) of data were created.” Today’s buzzword term for the complexity of processing and managing such vast amounts of information is “Big Data”.
The term itself may be recent, but Qualstar has been a major player in the practical implementation of Big Data solutions for more than two decades!

Our focus on Vertical Markets
Fundamental to the evolution of Big Data has been the progressive digitization of media – voice, music, photos, drawings and videos, for example. As digital storage methods and standards evolved, industries embraced them in order to reduce their ever-increasing volumes of paperwork. Added advantages included much faster search and access times, automated data storage redundancy, reduced staffing needs, and so on. Nonetheless, each industry has its own unique application needs. To meet those needs, Qualstar is developing solutions specific to several of the vertical markets to which our customers belong:
- Media & Entertainment;
- Oil & Gas;
- Government & Military;
- Education;
- Information Technology;
