#335 - Built to Store: Gene Leyzarovich’s Tech Legacy
Over 34 years ago, Gene Leyzarovich arrived in Pittsburgh as a refugee from Moscow, Russia, determined to build a better life. Just two years later—while finishing his education at the University of Pittsburgh and working night shifts at UPMC—he founded Advanced Computer & Network Corporation (AC&NC) to develop high-performance JetStor® storage systems. Under Gene’s leadership, AC&NC (now JetStor) has been a leader in enterprise data storage for more than 30 years, delivering cutting-edge RAID storage solutions to over 4,000 clients across North America, LATAM, Europe, Asia, and Australia. JetStor systems power mission-critical applications for industry leaders like Sony, Microsoft, Starbucks, CBS, Supervalu, and major cloud providers. In 2024, Gene secured a $1.5 million contract with a private cloud provider, supporting 90+ sites worldwide for a U.S. government customer—further expanding JetStor’s global footprint. JetStor technology also fuels innovation in scientific research and government initiatives, supporting NASA, the Department of Energy, NOAA, and national laboratories across the U.S. Today, JetStor continues to deliver reliable, high-performance storage solutions, earning a trusted reputation with Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, universities, and research institutions. Gene’s relentless drive, vision, and commitment to innovation remain at the heart of JetStor’s continued success.
