Catalogic Software, a leading
provider of smart data protection solutions, announced that it has sold
its Catalogic ECX copy data management business to IBM. Details of the
transaction were not disclosed. Divesting this business enables
Catalogic to focus on its enterprise and cloud data protection and data
security solutions, including its recently launched Kubernetes and cloud native
data protection service,
CloudCasa.
Catalogic pioneered an
in-place copy data management solution leveraging storage array snapshot and
replication capabilities to modernize IT process such as automated DevTest,
data protection with instant recovery, disaster recovery and offload to cloud
storage. The "in-place" snapshot based approach made ECX an ideal solution for
partnering with enterprise storage vendors such as IBM. Catalogic will
continue to partner with IBM to support its existing ECX customer base.
"IBM Storage has been an
important business partner for Catalogic," said Ken Barth, chief executive
officer for Catalogic Software. "We built a great team with a strong focus on
supporting IBM Storage and we wish that team continued success. I am excited
about the future of Catalogic with a stronger focus on building our SaaS
platform for protecting hybrid and cloud native environments."
Last November, Catalogic
launched CloudCasa, a simple, scalable, cloud-native data protection
and disaster recovery service for cloud native applications. CloudCasa supports
all leading Kubernetes distributions and managed services and cloud database
services, and it is available in leading cloud marketplaces including SUSE
Rancher and DigitalOcean. With CloudCasa, your IT department doesn't need
to be Kubernetes experts and your DevOps team doesn't need to be storage or
data protection experts in order to protect your Kubernetes clusters and cloud
applications.
