Pittsburgh, PA – April 15, 2025 – Gene Leyzarovich, “Data Storage Guru” and visionary founder of JetStor, will appear on The Shrimp Tank Podcast on April 16th at 1 PM EST to share his remarkable journey from refugee to tech pioneer and how JetStor became a global leader in enterprise storage innovation.

‍

From Refugee to Storage Visionary

Arriving in Pittsburgh as a refugee from Moscow in the early 1990s, Leyzarovich balanced night shifts at UPMC with studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Just two years later, he founded Advanced Computer & Network Corporation (AC&NC), now JetStor, to develop high-performance RAID storage systems. Today, JetStor powers mission-critical infrastructure for over 4,000 clients worldwide, including Sony, Microsoft, Starbucks, and U.S. government agencies.

‍

30+ Years of Cutting-Edge Innovation

As JetStor’s founder and “Data Storage Guru,” Leyzarovich has driven innovations like scalable NAS/SAN systems and partnerships with leading cloud providers. Notably, JetStor’s 2024 $1.5 million contract with a private cloud provider expanded its support to 90+ sites for a U.S. government customer. The company’s solutions also underpin scientific research for NASA, the Department of Energy, and NOAA.
