STEC Inc. (collectively with our subsidiaries, is referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as “STEC”, “we”, “our” and “us”) is a leading global provider of enterprise-class solid state drives (“SSDs”) that are designed specifically for systems and applications that require high input and output (“IO”) capabilities with low latencies for fast access to critical user data. We design and develop SSD solutions for our customers in a full range of industries and applications. We also design and develop our own SSD controllers, enhance them with proprietary firmware and integrate them with NAND flash media to manufacture high-performance SSDs, which provide a level of IO performance not currently possible with traditional hard disk drives (“HDDs”). We market our products to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), OEM distributors, value added resellers, enterprises, and end user customers, leveraging our custom design capabilities to offer storage and server solutions to address their specific needs. Our SSDs are incorporated into products used in a variety of industries including cloud computing, defense, e-commerce, financial services, government, healthcare, transportation, virtualization, and Web 2.0. We also manufacture small form factor Flash-based SSDs, cards and modules, as well as custom high-density dynamic random access memory (“DRAM”) modules for networking, communications and embedded industrial applications. In addition, we are continuing to invest in research and development and complementary new technologies that will help us solve our customers’ most complex storage and server issues. This means that we are working to develop solutions that will ultimately help our customers to accelerate applications, retrieve data faster, and run more efficiently. We are headquartered in Santa Ana, California and have operations in Penang, Malaysia. We also have sales and engineering offices located in the U.S., Europe and Asia and a research design center in Pune, India.
