More about Xyratex
There's a good chance you've used a Xyratex Group product without even knowing it. Subsidiary Xyratex Technology designs and manufactures storage subsystems and controllers, as well as PCI cards that analyze and manage network data. Xyratex sells its storage systems primarily to computer hardware vendors such as Network Appliance and 27 others, that sell the products under their own brands. The company also develops products for disk drive manufacturers such as Seagate and Western Digital. Its disk drive products include production test systems, servo writers, and disk automation systems. Previously a manufacturing unit of IBM, Xyratex was formed from a management buyout in 1994.

Company Overview
Xyratex is a leading provider of enterprise class data storage subsystems and network technology. Building on over 20 years of research and development experience in disk drive development, storage systems and high-speed communication protocols, we design and manufacture enabling technology that provides our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) 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 Storage & Network Systems and Storage Infrastructure market places, and is based on two strongly synergistic technology lines:
- Storage & Network Systems - 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 - Fully automated disk drive test solutions, servo track writing technology and disk processing solutions for high-volume manufacturing environments, enabling customers to produce highly reliable disk drives with increased efficiency and at lower cost.
As disk drive technology is a fundamental building block of any network storage system, Xyratex’s leadership in developing disk drive test and process automation equipment, combined with our experience in developing high-density network storage subsystems, provides a unique perspective for understanding data storage market needs, allowing innovation to be leveraged across the entire product range.
