enterprise storage
barry rudolph
Vice President, Disk Storage
Systems and Software
Take your eye off the ball in this
industry, and the penalties are
severe. In the marketplace for
storage, we’ve patented more tech-
nology than any other company,
and in 2000, IBM received the U.S.
National Medal of Technology in
recognition of decades of leader-
ship in storage. But for most of the
1990s, we labored at a substantial
disadvantage in the marketplace
for storage subsystems. Enter the
IBM Enterprise Storage Server
code named “Shark.” In 2000, the
first year after its launch, we
shipped nearly 4,000 Sharks, and
revenue for high-end disk storage
increased 21 percent for the year.
in 2000, ibm shipped 73%more terabytes of
storage than the previous year
increasing
shipped disk storage to more than
11,000 terabytes in 12 months.
60%of global 100 companies have
already purchased and installed
a shark enterprise storage server.

combined, all shark enterprise
storage servers worldwide hold more than
7 petabytes of data,
roughly equal to the printed text of
700 u.s. libraries of congress.
