GFI Software recently announced that they have acquired technology from Netherlands-based cloud services company, IASO, which has been a part of GFI’s MAX RemoteManagement solution for over a year. Though the details of the acquisition are not being disclosed, the agreement is expected to greatly expand the IASO technology’s global presence.
Walter Scott, CEO at GFI Software, spoke a bit more about IASO’s previous work with his company in a press release: “We have been using IASO’s technology in GFI MAX RemoteManagement for over a year and it has been a great success with our customers. Acquiring IASO’s technology provides us with a huge opportunity to expand this side of our business, target new opportunities in the MSP community and among businesses that want to reduce the technical and logistical overhead of backup and benefit from the fastest cloud based restore available.”
At this time, IASO services over 600 direct international partners and their resellers. Their solutions are geared towards a hybrid approach to backup, and, in particular, GFI plans to utilize their Local Speed Vault and True Delta technologies.
