amethystum

Guangdong Amethystum Storage Technology Co., Ltd., founded in 2010 by Zheng Mu and Luo Tiewei, specializes in optical storage technology for large-scale data management. The founders have extensive backgrounds in the optical storage industry, which enabled them to develop Blu-ray data storage solutions. The company develops and manufactures optical storage media, including high-end recordable Blu-ray discs (BD-R), and intelligent optical storage equipment like CD-ROM libraries.

Amethystum provides solutions for tiered data storage, targeting the management of "warm" and "cold" data for enterprise-level clients. Its products serve various sectors, including finance, healthcare, public security, and data disaster recovery centers, offering public, private, and hybrid cloud storage options. The business model involves the research, development, production, and sale of its optical storage products and providing intelligent hierarchical storage solutions. The company has positioned itself as a key player in China's domestic optical storage market, having obtained numerous patents and participated in setting industry standards.

In February 2020, Amethystum was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market. However, the company faced significant challenges, leading to its delisting in June 2023 due to allegations of fraudulent issuance and illegal information disclosure. Regulators imposed penalties, and a compensation plan was arranged for investors.
