Software and Hardware
Initially designed to support large format optical drives and libraries on the SunOS platform, QStar Technologies produces an array of software and hardware for storage management and archiving solutions on 19 different operating systems, Windows, Linux, UNIX and Mac.
QStar develops archive and data management software that brings intelligence to the storage device. QStar supports one of the largest list of archive technologies (Tape, Optical, RDX, RAID, Object Storage and Cloud) from the world's leading archive vendors. Options include proprietary and industry-standard file systems, such as LTFS Linear Tape File System and UDF Universal Disk Format
QStar software supports the "3-2-1 Archiving and Data Protection Best Practice", which mandates three copies of data are stored in the archive, consisting of a performance copy, a secure copy and a disaster recovery copy. Ideally this is achieved using a blend of two storage technologies - disk based and removable media. One copy always needs to be off-site at a remote site.
In 2010, QStar helped found the Active Archive Alliance a collaborative industry association to educate end user organizations on new technologies that help them reliably store and retrieve archived data.

Famous quotes containing the word hardware:
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
