» COMPANY HISTORY
Founded in 1982, KCI, Inc. has established itself as a leading supplier of hardware, maintenance and leasing solutions for large scale data centers - supplying hardware ranging from Enterprise Servers to ESCON Directors and all the elements in between. KCI, Inc. provides a solid, comprehensive integrated approach to tackling the complex hardware requirements of today’s modern IT environments.

The Company’s activities fall into three technical areas which together span the wide array of products and services required by a large scale IT facility. Our Enterprise Hardware Group handles processors, storage, Magstar tape, silos and connectivity. Our Leasing Group leases the products we sell as well as hardware purchased from the original equipment manufacturer. Our InRange Group is the world's largest independent reseller of InRange products and also provides maintenance services for the InRange product line.

KCI, Inc. is headquartered in Mahwah, NJ just a few miles northwest of New York City with satellite offices Denver, Los Angeles and London. Our European affiliate, KCI, Ltd. operates in twenty-three EC and former Eastern Bloc countries, and KCI World Trade does business in Asia, Japan, Australia and other Pacific Rim markets.

At KCI, Inc. we offer a wide variety of maintenance coverage plans for the products we sell, ranging from support by the original manufacturer (“manufacturer’s maintenance”) to overnight parts delivery for those companies who choose self maintenance.

In 1987 the Company opened its own reconditioning center. Today, the center spans over 15,000 square feet and is capable of storing up to 1,000 machines. This year alone, we estimate over 1,200 machines will be reconfigured, refurbished and recertified in our state of the art facility.

KCI, Inc. has enjoyed many highlights over its 20 year plus history. In 1984 the Company began trading mainframe channel switches and established a solid reputation as a leader in switching technology. In 1992, KCI, Inc. earned the distinction of being the first used equipment dealer to trade an IBM 9032 ESCON director. Since that time we have sold over 1500 ESCON directors and individual port card upgrades. Over the years the Company has expanded its expertise beyond the highly critical connectivity arena, which is at the heart of the mainframe complex, into the areas of processors, storage, tape and printers. When SANs were introduced a short time ago the Company was able to leverage its many years of connectivity experience and enter the new SAN marketplace as a key player early on.

KCI, Inc. looks to the future with great optimism. As specialists in channel architecture and large scale systems, we are witnessing the rejuvenation and growth of the mainframe market, as well as the explosive growth of Storage Area Networks and Fibre Channel technology. Our challenge and our commitment are to continue to evolve with the ever changing technologies to meet the complex, mission critical needs of our customers.
