Xyratex is a leading provider of modular enterprise class data storage subsystems and storage process technology. Building on over 25 years of research and development experience in disk drive development, storage systems and high-speed communication protocols, Xyratex designs and manufactures enabling technology that provides our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) customers and disk drive manufacturer customers with data storage products to support high-performance storage and data communication networks.

Xyratex’s product strategy addresses the needs of the Networked Storage Solutions and Storage Infrastructure market places, and is based on two strongly synergistic technology lines:

• Networked Storage Solutions - High-capacity, high-speed, reliable and flexible data storage subsystems to support a range of communication technologies and performance specifications. These systems include RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) and SBOD (Switched Bunch of Disks) technology.



• Storage Infrastructure - Automated HDD test solutions, servo track writing technology and precision cleaning systems for high-volume manufacturing environments.

As disk drive technology is a fundamental building block of any networked storage system, Xyratex’s leadership in developing disk drive test and process automation equipment, combined with our experience in developing high-density networked storage subsystems, provides a unique perspective for understanding data storage market needs, allowing innovation to be leveraged across the entire product range.
