We take great pride in seeking out innovative technologies that deliver cost-effective solutions, enabling our trade-only customers to succeed.  Our business represents 200+ manufacturers and we sell to a "glocal" customer base made up of corporate resellers, managed service providers, high street and online retailers ranging from large multi-nationals to smaller, independent IT companies.  At CMS, we specialize in finding and delivering emerging technologies to market whilst growing established brands using a range of value-added services.  ABOUT QUALSTAR Qualstar Corporation was founded in California in 1984 to develop and manufacture digital storage solutions. By 1995, the company had focused its efforts on magnetic tape libraries, which were used to store, retrieve, and manage digital data. Qualstar's libraries offer the ideal storage solution for the increasing number of organizations that require a method to safeguard critical yet infrequently accessed information for long-term preservation. Backed by 41 years of experience and over 35,000 units sold, Qualstar has earned a reputation for trust and reliability. Today, we offer a full range of tape libraries in various sizes and configurations to meet any requirements, equipped with IBM drives. With the ever-increasing volume of data generated across all industries in today's information-driven marketplace, our clients demand ever-greater storage density and read/write speeds. To meet these needs, Qualstar offers the most cutting-edge tape storage solutions on the market, featuring energy-efficient libraries that utilize the latest LTO tape drive technology and ultra-dense cartridges. As the last independent tape library manufacturer, we don't tie our customers to a certain archival software, and we don't charge slot licensing fees, giving our customers total control over their systems and data.
