Double-Take Tucks In Tiny emBoot: Page 3 of 4

The CDP specialist explained that it will also be ramping up its broader storage strategy during the coming months.

”We’re doing things that will move us more into the storage area,” said Goodermote, in response to an analyst’s question, explaining that the vendor is on the lookout for partners. “We’re doing stuff in Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) that will be out soon that will allow you to put certain types of data in one place, and certain types of data in another, and enable more rapid recovery.”

Despite the emBoot deal and the HSM activity, the CEO nonetheless downplayed Double-Take’s storage aspirations.

”We’re not declaring war on the storage companies with this acquisition,” he said.

Double-Take’s second-quarter revenues were $24.4 million, a 21.9 percent hike on the same period last year, although the vendor suffered weaker than expected license sales in Europe, according to execs on last night's call.
