Carl-Henric Möllerström, VP, Compuverde, said: “There are several forces driving Compuverde’s great momentum. We have managed to sign some significant partners, and we have a strong foundation in our three P’s: our product, people and passion. I strongly believe that company growth will continue in 2018 according to the pace set in 2017. We know we have the most mature software-defined storage product on the market and we deliver a very unique approach, by never taking any shortcuts in terms of development.

Of course it takes time to lay the foundation, but once the hard part is done you have a fantastic journey, which is what we are experiencing now.”
