No. 5: Disk Backup in the Forefront

Tape’s not dead, but it certainly isn’t thriving. Tape vendors Advanced Digital Information Corp. (Nasdaq: ADIC), Overland Storage Inc. (Nasdaq: OVRL), Quantum Corp. (NYSE: DSS), and Storage Technology Corp. (StorageTek) (NYSE: STK) keep beefing up their disk products, and startups such as Copan Systems Inc., Diligent Technologies Corp., and Sepaton are gaining traction. Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) plans to enter the backup and recovery software arena in 2005. Seems like a hot zone.
