Headquartered in Seal Beach, Calif., Imperial Technology, now
under new ownership, has a legacy product line which incorporates a decade of
experience designing and manufacturing high-performance storage solutions that
shatter I/O bottlenecks to supercharge application performance. Imperial's
products are installed on Sun, HP, Compaq/Digital, IBM and Unisys systems. They

Brocade, Veritas and EMC products.

business under new ownership and able to manufacture and supply the original
range of solid state disks. Then in Q3 2008 - it disappeared again.
