About Terra-SAN
Terra-SAN is a privately held digital media management firm based in Norwalk, Connecticut. Founded by CEO Joel DeGray, Director of Operations Lori DeGray and CIO Keith DeGray, Terra-SAN is the only digital media management firm that utilizes a UNIX-based system to read, import, load and back up CDs and DVDs, putting them directly onto any digital media server.

The firm’s UNIX-based, robotically controlled facility sets the benchmark for digital media services by being both platform and manufacturer independent, while at the same time being compatible with all manufacturers. Its custom-built interface is capable of utilizing all standard ID3 tagging sources.

Terra-SAN—which was named by merging the word ‘terra’—another name for planet Earth which symbolizes the firm’s global nature—with the acronym ‘storage area network’, began as a grass-roots business in the basement of Joel and Lori’s Norwalk home. The founders spent about 13 months custom-building the firm’s UNIX-based platform—the most reliable platform for mission-critical business applications. After launching the company in August 2005, they moved to its current state-of-the-art fiber-optic Norwalk facility.

Today, Terra-SAN is the only authorized importer for leading audio/video systems manufacturer Kaleidescape, and is one of only two certified partners for both Elan and ReQuest.
