| QuorumLabs is a start-up company creating industry-leading solutions for disaster recovery, the onQ system of appliances and hybrid-cloud services. Unlike traditional back-up, the onQ recovery system allows customers to activate working servers and applications just minutes after disaster strikes, bringing peace of mind to mid-tier enterprises that previously resorted to periodic tape, disk, or cloud back-up. Our customers include regional banks and financial institutions, law firms, retailers, healthcare providers and other businesses who understand that their customers are counting on them always to be there, ready to serve them. The foundational technology of QuorumLabs is a sophisticated system for distributed computing resource management that was originally developed for shipboard combat systems by a "skunk works" R&D team at Themis Computer. Once compelling commercial applications became clear, QuorumLabs was spun out as a separate and independent company. In the business world, information technology professionals had started recognizing that their backup systems were becoming obsolete. Traditional backup assumed that computers were expensive and spare units were not instantly available. Failures meant obtaining new hardware, which took hours or days, and restoring from backup took comparable amounts of time. Virtual computing makes it possible to have spare platforms ready at a moment's notice, rendering unacceptable the delays caused by the old backup-restore paradigm. But raw virtual machines are only one ingredient of a rapid recovery plan. Assembling all the required ingredients, synchronizing constantly with the production environment, then triggering recovery in case of failure involved too much ongoing complexity to be practical for already overloaded IT professionals. Using its distributed computing resource management technology, QuorumLabs automated this entire process, resulting in several patented innovations. Combined with source-based deduplication, powerful hardware platforms, and highly reliable data centers, QuorumLabs created the onQ systems of appliances and hybrid-cloud services. Now Recovery Nodes are just a mouse-click away, easily tested, ready to run, creating a level of reliability previously known only in high-end military and enterprise data center applications. QuorumLabs is backed by Airtek Capital Group (ACG) and a group of technology innovators, and recently announced an 11 million round of funding. |
