Data Storage Institute (Singapore) File:DSILogo.jpg
Vision	To be a vital node in a global community of knowledge generation and innovation, nurturing research talents and capabilities for world class Research & Development in next generation technologies.
Mission	To establish Singapore as an Research & Development centre of excellence in data storage technologies.
Established	Founded MTC in 1992; Renamed DSI in 1996
Executive Director	Prof Chong Tow Chong
Deputy Director	Dr Thomas Liew

The Data Storage Institute (DSI) is a research and development centre located in Singapore, where next-generation data storage technologies are being studied. The principal competences are in magnetic, optical, and network storage as well as system design and prototyping.

DSI was established in April 1996 through the expansion of the Magnetics Technology Centre (MTC) founded in June 1992 by the Agency for Science, Technology & Research, or A*STAR (then known as the National Science & Technology Board) and the National University of Singapore (NUS).

In a report published in 1999 by The Information Storage Industry Centre, University of California, San Diego, DSI was ranked among the top five storage Research & Development centres worldwide.
