History
In 2001, Han-gyoo Kim of Korea and Zhe Khi Pak of Russia applied for a US patent on a "network-attached disk". By 2002 the first NetDisk (up to 80 GBytes) was marketed as a low cost alternative to full computer based network storage options. The Ximeta company was founded in 2003. In 2004 Kim applied for a patent to allow multiple clients write access to the shared block storage device. By 2006, sizes up to 500 GBytes were supported. In 2008 an NDAS device called "ShareDisk Gigabit" created by Co-World Cs in Germany briefly claimed the title of world's fastest network storage device. In 2011 IOCELL Networks announced ownership of the NDAS system and NetDisk patents.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
