EL SEGUNDO, CA — (Marketwired) — 02/03/15 — , a leading provider of secure, cloud-managed data protection, announced that year-over-year sales grew by 50 percent in 2014 due to the demand for its comprehensive platform for cloud backup, archiving, disaster recovery and file sharing. The company also appointed three new executives in sales, marketing and product management last year to aid in the company–s expansion. In addition, the company closed a $16.3 million series B investment that helped fund its acquisition of Eversync. The integration of Eversync–s technology allowed Infrascale to expand the capabilities of its by adding a cloud-connected backup appliance offering.

“Data protection is a critical part of computing that is often overlooked, and Infrascale–s goal is to make backup dramatically simpler and offer a solution at a disruptive price point that makes it more accessible,” said Ken Shaw, CEO of Infrascale. “The most important point is raising awareness of security in storing data in the cloud. We provide a solution that helps companies securely protect their business data — their lifeblood. We will continue to push this message as we invest in and scale up our North American and international presence.”

The addition of multiple product features this year resulted in record sales of the company–s data-protection platform.

Infrascale expanded from 100 employees to 150, including three key executives, in 2014 due to the acquisition of Eversync and the surge in demand for the company–s data protection platform. Joining the Infrascale team as senior vice president of worldwide sales was former IBM North America sales leader Robert Prigge.

Eversync–s data protection products combine enterprise-level backup and disaster recovery capabilities in a simple, affordable package that is purpose-built for mid-size organizations.
