Veritas Acquires HubStor In Play For Backup-As-A-Service Expertise
‘HubStor offers a granular, scalable, and easy-to-configure enterprise solution. They also have an impressive track record in the enterprise, including with some Veritas customers. Those two facts already point to a good start for us,’ says Simon Jelley, vice president Veritas’ the Backup Express and SaaS business. By Joseph F. Kovar January 13, 2021, 06:43 PM EST
Data protection and management software developer Veritas has quietly acquired HubStor in a move it expects will add strong backup-as-a-service technology with a Microsoft Azure public cloud base.
The acquisition, which has already closed but for which Veritas is not disclosing terms, comes at a time when Veritas is looking at the best way to address the market for backup-as-a-service, said Simon Jelley, vice president for the Backup Express and SaaS business of the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company.
