Storage Firms Join Relief Effort: Page 3 of 3

So far, none of the firms with relief plans in place have reported being affected directly by the disaster, though they all have offices and personnel in the countries where regions have been devastated.

Many other firms have interests there, too (see Storage Vendors Look East). Some are opting not to donate as a company. Eric Brown, director of worldwide PR for Network Appliance Inc. (Nasdaq: NTAP), for instance, says the company has no formal donation as an entity. But the human resources department is directing employees to a range of charities.

As firms return to work following the Christmas-to-New Year's holiday, there may be news of further donations.
