The rumor of this operation was recent.
Based in Santa Clara, Asempra raised $32.4 million since its inception in 2003, including $20 million in 2006. The company offers business continuity servers and appliances with its own CDP, for Exchange, SQL and Windows file servers.
On its side BakBone is in software only, but, with this deal, it extends its solutions with CDP and for Windows applications. The two companies were already partnering technologically since April 2008, to "invest in joint product development, marketing, and services delivery." Released in July 2008 and updated in February 2009, NetVault: Real-Time Data Protector 2.0, a BakBone' software for backup and recovery of Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, and Windows file
system data, was the first result of this partnership. Now an ownership.
