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.

Google Cloud Print goes offline on Friday

Another Google product will be biting the device right at the turn of the year. Granted, there are indeed some products and services that are long overdue their retirement, it’s still somewhat notable when Google adds another body to its notorious graveyard. This time, it will be Google Cloud Print that will be signing off after the last day of the year, forcing its remaining users, if they do still exist, to connect directly to printers in their network.
Google Cloud Print was one of those things that were created to address a specific need during a specific period in history that may no longer be relevant today. Specifically, it was designed to address the fact that Chrome OS, at least back in 2010, didn’t have its own native printing framework. Being a cloud-based platform, it almost made sense that it would rely on a cloud-based printing solution as well.
