Global backup and disaster recovery vendors Arcserve and StorageCraft are set to merge, creating a mega-vendor in the data management and protection market.
The deal will see StorageCraft renamed 'StorageCraft, an Arcserve Company’ with Arcserve CEO Tom Signorello and Douglas Brockett, the current president of StorageCraft, jointly leading the combined entity.
From a customer vantage point, the deal will be complementary to both parties, with Arcserve mostly catering to the enterprise and top-tier space, while StorageCraft’s solutions are largely geared towards small-to-mid-market businesses.
While Arcserve has a large global footprint spanning the United States, Europe and Asia, its presence in Australia and New Zealand is limited to distribution via Cloud Ready in the former and Dicker Data in the latter.
