AppAssure Reports Extraordinary 196% Revenue Growth And 18th Consecutive Record Quarter
AppAssure Achieves Multiple Milestones; Named 7th Fastest Growing Software Company by Inc. 500.
- Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC (1888PressRelease) November 02, 2011 - RESTON, VA - AppAssure Software, the global leader and award-winning provider of backup and replication software for virtual, physical and cloud environments, today announced its 18th consecutive record quarter of growth. Total revenue grew 196% in Q3 of 2011 over the same period in 2010, and total revenue for the third quarter grew 18% over the previous quarter. These results reflect AppAssure's surging momentum as the industry's fastest and most reliable image-level and application-aware backup and replication solution for both virtual (VMware vSphere®, Microsoft® Hyper-V® Server and XenServer™) and physical environments.
This extraordinary growth is the result of AppAssure's focus on listening to the needs of its customers and partners, and consistently delivering innovative and ground-breaking technology that exceeds expectations.
"AppAssure's speed and ease of use are great and the continuous backup makes recovery go really smoothly," said Dave Buzzell, Sedona Group's CIO. "Our IT environment is constantly changing, and only AppAssure has been able to keep up with it. We estimated that we can keep three years of continuous backups just due to AppAssure's true global deduplication and compression technology. That's amazing!"
According to Shawn Clark, CEO of Applied Network Solutions, an AppAssure reseller partner, "Our customers are finding that legacy backup and recovery approaches are not robust enough to meet their ever-changing data and information management challenges. AppAssure's unique continuous backup protection and advanced replication gives our customers the confidence to know that they can backup and replicate business-critical applications to any cloud - private or public - and recover in minutes."

- Multi-hypervisor environments - backup and replication support for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V Server and XenServer.
