StorageNewsletter, launched in 1988 by Jean-Jacques Maleval, was originally a 16 pages monthly newsletter published on paper. With the Internet boom confirmed impacting lots of information editorial and distribution activities and accessibility, he morphed in November 2007 the publication into an online site known as StorageNewsletter.com. The press title was published by Micro-Journal, a french company founded in 1976, having published various tiles such as Le Courrier de la Microcopie (on micrographics), Reproduire (on photocopying and printing), Mémoires Optiques (later MOS, on the archiving and optical disc industry), as well as a weekly paper on basketball, Micro-Basket.

One of the strengths of StorageNewsletter is the international scope, based on a wide range of information sources worldwide. All the news are written in English, but local German and French news, sometimes others, are published in their own language. Readers can find daily news as mentioned but also market and technology analysis, financial reports, opinions and comments, editorials, companies’ profile and leaders interviews or event summaries and recaps.

We wish to thank you, once again, Jean-Jacques Maleval, being a pioneer in the data storage and computing industry press and developing his mission for over 40 years. RIP Jean-Jacques, you will be missed.

Mid 2025, StorageNewsletter.com has been acquired by Voxyter, a french company, and the mission to stay the #1 independent worldwide data storage industry news web site and source will remain intact.

The team will continue to travel, attending various shows, expos and conferences around the world, covering market news and add special opinions and comments angles and meet storage executives, innovators and leaders of our data storage industry globally.

The NEW StorageNewsletter is led by Philippe Nicolas, a well known data storage expert working in the industry for more than 30 years. He’s recognized for his independence capitalizing on several working experiences at Scality, Brocade, Symantec, Veritas Software, SGI and Compaq. In parallel, he drove the SNIA in France for almost 10 years at the beginning of the century, being an European board member for 4 years and he’s also the author of 4 reference tutorials for the association.
