Dave Roberson, Board’s Director, Quantum

Quantum Corp. announced that David Roberson has been appointed to Quantum’s board of directors, effective May 6, 2011.

 Roberson
was most recently a senior vice president at HP, where he led the
company’s StorageWorks Division. He has also served as president and CEO
of Hitachi Data Systems and has nearly 30 years of executive management
experience in technology.

"Dave is a long-standing leader in the storage industry and brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the board," said Jon Gacek, CEO of Quantum. "This
will be particularly valuable as we focus on driving increased growth
through new data protection and management solutions, additional
channels and more partnerships."

From 2007 to 2011, Roberson was senior vice president, Enterprise
Servers, Storage and Networking at HP, where he also served as general
manager of the StorageWorks Division for three of these years. His
vision and strategy helped HP build and deliver storage solutions that
enabled customers of all sizes to manage explosive data growth while
driving down the long-term cost of maintaining such data. Roberson also
played a leading role in the company’s acquisitions of LeftHand
Networks, IBRIX and 3PAR, which placed HP in a stronger strategic
position and drove industry-leading growth in key markets.

Prior to HP, Roberson spent 26 years at Hitachi Data Systems, starting
as corporate counsel and rising through the company to become president
and CEO, a position he held from 2006 to 2007. In this role and as COO
for six years, Roberson was instrumental in transitioning HDS from a
mainframe company to a leading, global storage solutions provider,
including expanding the company’s worldwide channel and securing new
business partnerships.

Roberson has served as a board member of numerous public and private
companies spanning various industries, as well as several non-profit
organizations. In addition to Quantum, he currently serves on the boards
of International Game Technology Corporation and TransLattice, Inc.
