Arcserve Southern Africa, has revealed that Arcserve, the world’s most experienced data and ransomware protection provider, and StorageCraft, whose mission is to protect all data and ensure its constant availability, have announced that they have signed a definitive agreement to merge.
According to the two entities, once completed, the merger of two highly complementary companies will form the most comprehensive global provider of data management and protection solutions for organisations spanning SMB to the Fortune 50. The merger will solve the growing market need for a single source to manage and protect workloads throughout the data centre, cloud, SaaS applications and at the Edge.
With expanded geographic reach, the industry’s broadest product portfolio, flexible business models and magnified innovation footprint, the merged companies will bring extensive market and revenue opportunities for MSPs, VARs and distributors.
Tom Signorello, CEO, Arcserve, said: “Companies in every sector are looking to modernise their infrastructures amid unabated cyberthreats and global changes that have changed the way they must protect and manage data. This merger will place us at the forefront of filling a massive market gap by supporting all workloads in every environment with one ecosystem. No longer will organisations require ad-hoc solutions that only add to the complexity they are trying to solve. We will be better placed than any other vendor to be ready as new workloads arise and infrastructures evolve – providing certainty today and in the future.”
Matt Medeiros, Chairman and CEO, StorageCraft, said: “The combination of StorageCraft’s leadership in the SMB and MSP market combined with Arcserve’s strength in the enterprise and VAR ecosystem, is game changing for the data protection and recovery market.”
Douglas Brockett, President, StorageCraft, added that: “Following the completion of the merger, the scope and scale of our combined businesses will allow us to bring a dramatically broader portfolio of solutions to market. At the same time, it expands the resources with which we can serve our customers and ensures we grow hand in hand with our channel partners.”
Addressing challenges facing end-users in every size organisation combining capabilities will create a comprehensive product suite that addresses the vast majority of use cases and business continuity challenges.
