StorageNetworks is the first company to focus solely on providing data storage as a service.

By satisfying a critical need for data storage scalability and protection, we help information- intensive companies leverage corporate data and carve out a competitive edge.

At StorageNetworks we:

• Enable emerging Web-based companies and established enterprises to store, protect, and access critical data, 24x7, easily and cost effectively.
  
• Empower customers to concentrate on core business rather than data centers.
  
• Give customers greater flexibility, faster time to market, and predictable operating costs.

Peter Bell and Bill Miller founded StorageNetworks in 1998 with a clear vision: to make data storage as flexible, reliable, and easy to access as electricity or phone service. Within months, we became the first company to focus solely on providing data storage as a Storage Services Provider (SSP).

What we do is to take one of your most costly and resource-depleting IT functions and turn it into an effective business strategy. How we do it replicates the utility services model, which means you get virtually unlimited, secure data storage whenever you need it on a "pay-as-you-go," "pay-as-you-grow" basis. What you get are scalable end-to-end managed storage services that protect, replicate, and safeguard your valuable corporate information.

Best of all, because storage is our core competency, we can acquire, implement, and manage your storage infrastructure faster, better, and more effectively than you can do it on your own.
