Data Domain Expands APAC Operations

December 28th, 2006: Data Domain is rapidly expanding its business, kicking its Asia Pacific operations up a notch and announcing new ventures in Australia, Korea and Singapore.

The company’s new Australian operations have already been established, while it will be launching in Korea and Singapore during January 2007.

As the data storage industry booms, data protection services are also experiencing spectacular increases in demand. Due to this, Data Domain has also doubled its sales and support staff of its existing Tokyo operation to fuel its expanding business in the Japanese market, and expanded its operations into Canada.

"The future is here. Users all over the world are embarking on a path to disk and network-based data protection with Data Domain," said Frank Slootman, president and CEO of Data Domain. "The expansion of our operations is an outgrowth of both the demand we are seeing for Data Domain solutions in these regions and our plans for continued exponential growth. We're going full bore into these markets and making the investments needed to solidify our leadership position in these key markets."

With a focus on enterprise storage protection and using its Global Compression deduplication technology, Data Domain claims that it can free up operational inefficiencies, risks and cost associated with tape-based backup and disaster recovery processes.
