History

Seek Systems was incorporated in August of 1983 in Washington State as a provider of external storage systems.  Initial offerings were for disk arrays to attach to Wang systems.  During the later 80’s and early 90’s, Seek Systems expanded its presence in the open systems storage market by re-selling RAID technology manufactured by other companies.  Seek’s primary value added then was the integration of RAID controllers, disk drives, and storage controllers targeted at the UNIX environment.

In the early 90’s, Seek Systems manufactured its first hardware controller in the form of a retentive caching controller, called the Xcelerator, that adds value to existing host(s) and disk array(s) by speeding the I/O processing.  In the mid-90’s, Seek Systems released its own FasFile RAID family that integrated the Xcelerator platform with RAID controller technology.


Today

Since May of 1998, Seek Systems has had a contractual relationship with Hewlett-Packard so that HP channel partners can provide Seek’s Xcelerator to their HP AutoRAID and JBOD user community. 

IBM Global Systems Division has represented Seek Systems Adaptive RAID technology in offerings to the federal government (US Postal Service) because in IBM’s judgment the Adaptive RAID multi-hosting and intelligent caching architecture met and exceeded the end user performance requirements and the SSA architecture did not. 

Seek Systems FasFile RAID systems have been certified by Sun Microsystems as “Solaris Ready”, by Veritas (Volume Manager and Cluster Server) and is also certified by Microsoft for NT environments. 

Seek also has had long-standing partnerships with Oracle and received awards from the Oracle Technical Journal for innovative product offerings. 

Seek also provides products to the federal government by way of reseller and integrator partners with GSA federal supply schedules. 

Most of Seek Systems’ business over the last three years has been conducted through H-P, Sun and IBM resellers and integrators. 

Seek Systems has also established relationships in the major countries in Asia and Europe to support our multi-national customer base.
