application recovery company with investment

Filed in archive Technology on April 1, 2004

I was pondering about the scarcity of major investments in recovery solution a while ago. Honestly I did not know that there are application recovery companies out there until today. Usually you use a backup product and hope that your software product lossless can be reinstalled with some luck (how many times have you made a successful recovery backup of MS Exchange?). Now Mendocinosoft says it has this kind of silver bullet to create a similar application from the backup and provider independent. They just completed a Series A with $15 million led by Accel Partners.

That's what Mendocinosoft has to say about their product:

"-A separate, fully readable and writeable replica of the application, its configuration and all its data (for trialing, testing, debugging, etc.) on a recovery server, and
- Rapid recovery of an application, its configuration, and all its data to any point in time on a production server."

"This breakthrough technology features a "time-slider" on a separate testbed machine for activities that require full copies of application production data (such as testing of software upgrade processes, debugging data analytic errors and/or system-level application logical errors, etc.). This capability significantly reduces cycle times, improves productivity and helps resolve critical service issues quickly."
