Microsoft Corp. and StorSimple Inc. today announced that Microsoft has reached
a definitive agreement to acquire StorSimple, a leader in Cloud-integrated
Storage (CiS) solutions. The addition of CiS will advance Microsoft's Cloud OS
vision and help customers more efficiently embrace hybrid cloud computing.
"Customers faced with explosive growth in data are looking to the cloud to
help them store, manage and archive that data. But, to be effective, cloud
storage needs to integrate with IT's current investments," said Michael Park,
corporate vice president, Server and Tools Division for Microsoft.
"StorSimple's approach helps customers seamlessly integrate on-premises
storage with cloud storage through intelligent automation and management."
StorSimple solutions combine the data management functions of primary storage,
backup, archive and disaster recovery with cloud integration, enabling
customers to optimize storage costs, data protection and service agility. With
its unique cloud snapshot capability, StorSimple automatically protects and
rapidly restores production data using public clouds. Large enterprises across
many vertical markets, including retail, oil and gas, manufacturing, consumer
goods, healthcare, and financial services, have made their first public cloud
deployments using StorSimple.
"Most StorSimple customers are mainstream IT organizations that have chosen
Windows Azure as their primary cloud. We are excited to continue to work with
Microsoft and bring the combined benefits of StorSimple and Windows Azure to
customers around the world," said Ursheet Parikh, co-founder and CEO,
StorSimple.
