Overview

Qualstar is the last independent manufacturer of magnetic tape libraries, offering air-gapped solutions that provide inherent ransomware protection for long-term data retention. Unlike competitors, Qualstar avoids slot licensing fees, reducing the total cost of ownership for archive storage. The company's 2002 acquisition of N2Power expanded its expertise into high-efficiency open-frame power supplies, complementing its core data storage business. With over 40 years of tape integration experience and a global footprint, Qualstar delivers cost-effective, reliable storage for customers across North America, Europe, and Asia.
