Data Storage & Security Deal Toys

The galleries beginning on this page provide over 100 images of financial tombstones and deal toys from the data storage and security sector. The transactions they celebrate involve technologies and specializations ranging from payment processing, identity and access management, managed IT, and disaster recovery to cybersecurity, cloud services, data protection, and data center services.

The deals commemorated here also reflect a broad geographic scope. You’ll find, for instance, deal toys recognizing the acquisition of an Israeli developer of content management tools, of an Australian provider of managed IT services, the sale of a Seattle-based automator of machine learning models, and of an Israeli cloud migration firm. Other transactions recognized in these galleries include Series B funding for a Virginia cybersecurity firm, a private placement for a Norwegian software firm specializing in cloud-based medical records, and a stock issue by a Swedish fingerprint recognition software developer.

You’ll also notice a variety of materials used in the deal toys featured here. Those materials include crystal, Lucite, resin, pewter, marble, and wood.

Finally, you will also find here more conventional commemoratives from this sector that are unrelated to financial transactions. These include a custom employee recognition award developed for a Texas-based enterprise software firm, and another custom design honoring employees of a firm on receiving a PC Magazine Editor’s Choice award.
