William C. Thompson and John Burgess founded FileTek in 1984 to address the need for making very large volumes of offline information accessible to online users of mainframes minicomputers, and networked workstations. They firmly believed that historic detail has an increased value when organizations can access and use it productively. In 1987, FileTek introduced its first product, Storage Machine/1, a shared client/server-based, automatically managed storage server. This innovative data server used sophisticated storage management software to control a storage hierarchy of magnetic disk and write once read many (WORM) optical technology. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927
