From the Paper:

"Quantum Corporation was founded in 1980 in California and since then has managed to capture a significant portion of the digital and analog storage media market. At the start of the year 2000, for example, the company already employed 6,300 employees and showed no indication that growth wasn't an inevitable part of the company's future. Quantum operated with extreme authority in the market, providing storage media for all the major PC manufacturers, not to mention storage solutions to others such as the makers of TiVo. To give some perspective, in the year 2000, Quantum managed to ship 30 million desktop drives, retained its title as the market share leader for the seventh year in a row, and captured 24% of the total market (McAfee 2)."
