Adaptec's storage leadership is rooted in its 20 years of bringing complex storage technology to mainstream businesses by making it easy and cost effective to use. The company pioneered SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), a technology that enabled end users to easily and affordably connect their PCs, Macs, servers and workstations to storage devices and peripherals. Adaptec also reduced the cost and complexity of RAID to help drive the widespread deployment of the data protection technology, simplify data management and reduce total storage ownership costs.

Today, Adaptec continues to simplify storage with a family of interoperable solutions that enables organizations to easily and cost-effectively scale storage across direct-attached and networked environments and a broad range of technologies - including SCSI, Serial ATA, Serial Attached SCSI, iSCSI and Fibre Channel.
