Its new software and "Backup and Recovery Private Cloud" will be available in the United States and the EMEA region in August 2015. The platform promises enhanced security and "up to 400% performance improvements for private, public and hybrid cloud deployments".

“Today our customers and partners are faced with explosive data growth, compliance requirements, the cost and complexity of non-traditional applications like the Internet of Things, big data and the ongoing transition to software-as-a-service,” explained the company's Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cloud Solutions, Mike Palmer. “At the same time IT budgets are not increasing, security threats continue to put organizations at risk and data center operations are taking more time away from the core business. Today we are responding to each of these challenges - through new performance, scale, availability and management solutions, which drive out operational complexity and give our customers and partners time back to run their core business.”
