Catalogic pioneered an in-place copy data management solution leveraging storage array snapshot and replication capabilities to modernize IT process such as automated DevTest, data protection with instant recovery, disaster recovery and offload to cloud storage. The “in-place” snapshot based approach made ECX an ideal solution for partnering with enterprise storage vendors such as IBM. Catalogic will continue to partner with IBM to support its existing ECX customer base.

“IBM Storage has been an important business partner for Catalogic,” said Ken Barth, chief executive officer for Catalogic Software. “We built a great team with a strong focus on supporting IBM Storage and we wish that team continued success. I am excited about the future of Catalogic with a stronger focus on building our SaaS platform for protecting hybrid and cloud native environments.”
