Active Storage Inc. — 00:22:C1 (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Active Storage is registered to MAC prefix
00:22:C1in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:22:C1, that block was registered by Active Storage — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A 00:22:C1 match reliably identifies genuine Active Storage enterprise storage hardware; no MAC-randomization caveat applies since these are not consumer mobile devices, but interface-level confirmation (Ethernet vs Fibre Channel) was not established from available sources.
About this vendor.
Active Storage Inc. holds a single IEEE MA-L block, 00:22:C1, registered to a Torrance, California manufacturer of enterprise RAID and SAN network storage appliances aimed at broadcast, post-production, and content-creation workflows. The company's product line — including the mRAID and mRAID16 RAID arrays, mVault75 archive storage, and a vSAN/mMedia/mPath platform — points to purpose-built network-attached storage hardware rather than a generic OEM shell, which is the distinction that separates a real vendor entry from a bare registration record. Business directories (ZoomInfo, Bloomberg, Cortera) still list the company as active as of 2025 at the same Jefferson Street address tied to the OUI registration, with a small headcount consistent with a niche storage vendor rather than a large multinational. No additional OUI/MAC blocks beyond 00:22:C1 were found, so this appears to be Active Storage's sole IEEE assignment. The company's own website carries a stale copyright footer (2008-2017), which is a common signal for small B2B hardware vendors whose marketing sites go unmaintained even while the company itself continues operating and shipping product.
- IEEE assignment
- 00:22:C1 → Active Storage Inc., registered Torrance, CA, US [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (local cached IEEE MA-L registry)
- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI); single block, no additional MA-M/MA-S assignments found [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry
- HQ / country
- 2295 Jefferson Street, Torrance, CA 90501, US (registry address) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
- Company status
- appears active as of 2025 per business-data aggregators; same registered address as the OUI [Likely] — https://www.zoominfo.com/c/active-storage-inc/352023040, https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/9877190Z:US
- Device types
- enterprise RAID/SAN network storage appliances for broadcast/post-production/content-creator use (mRAID, mRAID16, mVault75, vSAN); specific NIC interface (Ethernet vs. Fibre Channel) not confirmed [Likely] — https://www.activestorage.com/, https://www.activestorage.com/SpecSheets/mRAID_SpecSheet.pdf
- Notable products
- mRAID / mRAID16, mVault75, vSAN, mMedia/mPath platform [Likely] — https://www.activestorage.com/, https://www.sportsvideo.org/2012/01/10/active-storage-announces-mmedia-mraid-and-mvault-platforms/
- Additional OUI assignments
- none found; single-OUI vendor (00:22:C1 only) [Likely — absence of evidence, not exhaustive] — no citation (negative result from registry files)
- Date registered
- not recorded. IEEE's public OUI data (the IEEE MA-L registry) carries no assignment/registration date. A third-party tool (maclookup.app) shows a "first registration" date of 25 October 2008 for this block, but that is a maclookup.app database artifact, not an IEEE-published fact, and is not attributed to IEEE here.[Confirmed — non-fabrication] — no IEEE citation exists for a date; third-party artifact noted at https://maclookup.app/vendors/active-storage-inc
- Security context
- no CVEs, security advisories, or incident reports found for the mRAID/mVault/vSAN product lines [Unknown]
