Data Domain Establishes Operations In Japan
Data Domain, the leading provider of capacity optimized storage (COS) solutions, announced today that it has established new operations in Japan to support accelerating market traction in the Asia Pacific region for its next generation data protection solutions. With the launching of its Japan-based operations, the company has also added new sales and support infrastructure to build upon its success in the region.
"Data Domain's growth trajectory in the Asia Pacific region is mirroring its success in the US and European markets," said Frank Slootman, president and CEO of Data Domain. "As such, we have further deepened our commitment to the region with the addition of staff and a new facility in Tokyo. Data Domain has enjoyed a sustained pattern of growth in this market by working in close partnership with key regional IT reseller/distributors, such as Tokyo Electron and CTC. The Asia Pacific market represents a tremendous opportunity for both Data Domain and its partners, so we've made an investment that reflects the strong customer and partner demand we see there."
Data Domain's market-leading next generation data protection solutions free IT managers from the operational inefficiencies, risks and cost associated with tape backup. All Data Domain solutions leverage the company's advanced deduplication technology to deliver cost-effective, network-efficient data protection using customers' existing enterprise backup software. With a cache of products and solutions that include the DD400 Enterprise Series restorers with Replication and Virtual Tape Library (VTL) software options, Data Domain addresses the full range of enterprise backup needs with solutions that scale to over a petabyte of capacity.
"As a leading provider of storage solutions to the Japanese market and Data Domain partner, Tokyo Electron applauds Data Domain's continuing commitment to our region," said Vic Amano, VP & general manager, Computer Network Division of Tokyo Electron LTD. "Data Domain's capacity optimized storage solutions carry a unique value proposition for users who wish to implement a truly reliable, high performance, cost-effective backup and recovery strategy. Data Domain's disk-based backup solutions and industry-leading deduplication technologies are resonating strongly with our customer base. We share Data Domain's confidence in the Japanese marketplace as well as their vision of end-to-end tapeless data protection."
"As Japan's leading system integrator, CTC has a broad base of enterprise and service provider customers that require rock-solid backup and recovery systems," said Ken Goto, senior vice president and COO, Cross Function Group of ITOCHU TECHNO-SCIENCE Corporation (CTC). "We are very excited to add Data Domain's Solutions to our data backup product line-up.
