History

Founded in 1969 by Kenneth O. Mair, KOM Networks began operations by providing high-performance components, back-planes, multiplexers and third party service for DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) hardware. KOM developed the first generation of multiplexers for DEC PDP-11computer systems. In 1982, KOM embarked on a strategic change in direction by diversifying its resources into the development of the first Optical Storage Management Software. In 1983, after pioneering the integration of WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) optical disk drives and management for leading-edge medical applications, the company recognized the benefits of this mass storage technology and redirected its efforts exclusively into this new field.

KOM Networks has been a leader in Archive Storage Management since 1983, successfully supplying archive storage management solutions to over 10,000 government agencies, Fortune 100 and Global 100 companies.

In the year 2000, KOM developed software to extend Virtualization and Automated, Policy Based File Management across different technologies, namely hard disks RAID, storage networks as well as removable storage.
