Continuity Software, which is based in New York with an R&D facility in Israel, is continuing to ramp up its global presence, according to Stone.
After opening offices in Boston, Texas, and Chicago, the startup is looking to expand its presence on the West Coast, as well as in Europe. "We get many, many requests from companies in Europe to test our offering, and [Europe is] very close to Israel," Stone says. "We're talking about having some partnerships so that the major players will resell our products there."
The vendor, which as a partnership deal in Israel with EMC, is also in discussions with a number of vendors to forge relationships in the U.S., although Stone would not say which companies are involved.
With $6.5 million in funding raised to date, Stone also confirmed that Continuity is on the prowl for more money. "We're in the process of second-phase fund-raising, but we can't provide you any more information."
There is a growing amount of attention focused on the disaster recovery market, thanks largely to NetApp's acquisition of Continuity's rival Onaro for a rumored $120 million earlier this year. This followed EMC's acquisition of Israeli startup Illuminator's IP last summer in a deal said to be worth under $10 million.
