Kanguru Solutions, a division of Interactive Media Corporation, is a manufacturer and marketer of high tech computer hardware peripherals located in Millis, Massachusetts. Products include removable and external hard drives, USB flash drives, CD Duplicators, DVD Duplicators, MP3 players and more.

Kanguru Solutions was founded in 1992 in Holliston, Massachusetts. The company originally got its start developing and selling interactive kiosks for retail stores in the New England area. The evolution of the company was forever changed when, in the summer of 1993, co-founders Donald Brown and George Moser brainstormed and developed a revolutionary new storage device for PCs. The result was a first of its kind, removable and external hard drive they dubbed the KanguruDisk.

The KanguruDisk incorporated a 20MB (considered massive at the time!) hard drive with removable and external functionality. It was fast, durable and a great way of centralizing, securing and backing up valuable data! This highly versatile drive has remained a staple of Kanguru Solution's product line-up since it's inception, yet has continued to evolve through the years as new technology and capacities have emerged. Today, in it's current incarnation, the KanguruDisk can store up to 250GB, can transfer over 1.5GB of data per minute, comes in two colors, and can connect either internally to an IDE connection or externally through 4 different interfaces!

Since the development of the KanguruDisk, Kanguru Solutions has expanded its product line to include one of the first multi-interface external hard drives featuring Parallel, USB, PCMCIA/Cardbus and Firewire connectivity! Kanguru Solutions was also one of the first companies to pioneer CD & DVD Duplicators, external CDRWs and was also one of the first manufacturers to bring to market USB Flash Drive Technology.

As the company expanded its reseller channel and introduced new product lines, it managed to outgrow its original facility in Holliston and, in 2001, moved to a new corporate headquarters in Ashland, MA. Early 2003 found the company stretching its legs again and expanding into yet another, larger facility located in Millis, MA. The new facility boasts twice the office space and three times the warehouse space to allow for future growth of the company!

In 2005 Kanguru Solutions released one of the first USB Flash Drives to incorporate biometric technology for security as well as a line of ultra mini USB drives using 1" and 1.8" hard drives.

In 2006 Kanguru Solutions reinforced its' status as a peripheral pioneer with the development of one of the first secure USB Flash Drives to obtain FIPS 140-2 Certification from NIST. This security focus has led to Kanguru becoming one of the premier secure storage providers for the U.S. government as well as security conscious organizations. Working with channel partners, Kanguru continues to expand into the storage security market, specifically addressing a wide range of government and industry regulations.

In the spring of 2008, Kanguru released a revolutionary application for managing USB Flash Drives. Taking input from high level government customers, Kanguru developed the Kanguru Remote Management Console (KRMC), an application that allows flash drives to be remotely managed regardless of where they are located. KRMC allows security administrators to remotely manage user and master passwords, delete lost or stolen flash drives, and control device-side policies.

Kanguru continues to enhance KRMC as well as release new cutting edge products. The fall of 2008 saw the development and release of an eSATA Flash Drive with dual connectivity as well as a line of high performance Secure Digital Cards at industry leading prices.
