About INCOM Storage GmbH

The Company

INCOM Storage GmbH is a leading European distributor of products and solutions concerning storage and duplication systems. We are particularly concerned with the requirements of data security, and with the efficient and long-term storage of data. The professional use of optical storage in long-term archiving and data distribution has been significantly influenced and developed by INCOM.

Since 1986, INCOM has proved to be a reliable partner for system integrators and suppliers of professional IT infrastructures. Systems and products for the construction of storage networks and solutions are the central theme of our highly motivated team of staff.

Our customers include companies from big industry as well as authorities and small and medium-sized enterprises.

Over the course of its 25-year history, INCOM has introduced significant new technologies and products. These include, for example, the launch of the first CD recorder by Philips, the first DVD recorder by Pioneer and the first Blu-ray disc recorder by Panasonic. The concept of "green IT" also plays a crucial role for us. At INCOM's behest, TÜV developed the world's first certificate for energy-efficient optical storage systems. This "Certificate of Approved Archiving" is the foundation for the clear separation between what is hype and what is truly green IT.

As a long-standing partner of leading manufacturers of storage and duplication systems, INCOM is the only provider in this IT segment with a comprehensive and professional product range for all application areas with high memory requirements, particularly with regard to long-term archiving and data storage.

Through joint ventures and businesses established in the Netherlands, France, Spain and the US, we can offer our products and solutions in all major economic regions, along with reliable support.

Expertise, reliability and partnership-based behaviour form the fundamental pillars of our economic activities and thinking. With INCOM as a partner, our customers receive both information from manufacturer channels and skilled advice on how to use the various storage technologies.

As an independent provider, we guarantee that our products are reliable and that they cover the entire range – from high-performance to high-volume storage systems. INCOM is, among other things, a certified partner of the manufacturers ACTI, AMI, ATTO, Dahua, EPSON, JVC, N-Tec, Panasonic, Perennity, Point, Rimage, SONY and many others.

Whether it's at company or departmental level, we have the right storage solution for you: CD/DVD/UDO/BD storage and production systems, RAID, TAPE, NAS, SAN, iSCSI!
