- Quantum Corp. (NYSE 'Jerry possesses a rare combination of vision, deep technical knowledge and strong operational skills that will be of tremendous benefit to Quantum,' said Belluzzo. 'He will play a key leadership role as we continue to develop more integrated, higher-value solutions for protecting and retaining customers' data.' Lopatin spent six years at Network Appliance, two of them as senior vice president, worldwide engineering. In that role, he led a 1,000-person software and hardware engineering team across five sites worldwide, creating products that generated over $2 billion in annual revenue. Before that, Lopatin was general manager of the company's NearStore business unit, where he grew this disk-based backup and archive product line from the ground up to an industry-leading position and $250 million in annual revenue in less than three years.
At ONStor, Lopatin served as senior vice president, engineering, operations and customer support and was a member of the executive team. He played a key role in growing revenue 250 percent in his first year at the company, delivered five major software releases, drove the launch of ONStor's integrated storage offering, and achieved significant improvements in data availability and integrity.
Prior to Network Appliance and ONStor, Lopatin held leadership positions at Iomega, Samsung Electronics, Seagate and Komag and spent the first nine years of his career at IBM, all involving storage device technology.
Lopatin is the inventor on two issued patents, with two other patent applications pending, and has several published inventions. 'Quantum clearly has some significant assets, including its DXi"-Series family of disk-based backup and recovery systems with data de-duplication and replication, its StorNext clustered file system, and its industry-leading tape automation portfolio,' said Lopatin. 'I look forward to working with the engineering organization and the rest of the senior management team to further integrate these assets and provide customers with the innovative solutions they need for addressing their evolving storage challenges.'
