Data storage is estimated to grow at 60% per year -- fueled by archive regulations, Big Data analytics, expanding video file size, and more -- but IT budgets, growing at 5%, are struggling to keep up. Industry experts estimate that as much as 80% of that data growth qualifies as cold data -- data that is written once and infrequently accessed. SageCloud is developing energy-efficient, software-driven solutions designed to significantly lower the cost of storing this endlessly accumulating backup and archival data. "Our core development team has deep domain expertise in data storage as a result of our shared previous experience at Carbonite," said Jeff Flowers, CEO of SageCloud. "Our goal was to round out our company strength with go-to-market leadership, and we have found three veterans who completely fill the bill."

With SageCloud, data center professionals can reap the benefits of storage on disk at price points approaching storage on tape.
