TORONTO – Asigra Inc., the leader in agentless information recovery management, empowering service-oriented business continuity for the real-time enterprise, today announced it was selected as One of the Top 25 Emerging Technology Vendors in 2008 by CRN, a leading IT publication. CRN chose vendors for the award based on the combination of innovative technology and a strong commitment to the channel. This is the second consecutive year CRN has selected Asigra and its award-winning Televaulting™ technology.

“Asigra is honored that CRN has chosen it as one of the Top 25 Emerging Vendors," said Asigra CEO David Farajun. "CRN’s award validates not just our superior technology but our commitment to the channel. Unlike others in our space, we do not compete against our channel, aligning Asigra as a true partner for integrators, service providers and IT outsourcers looking to deliver backup and recovery as a service.”

According to analysts, the channel opportunity in outsourced backup and recovery continues to climb alongside industry-wide data growth, greater acceptance of Software-as-a-Service and a growing number of services delivered ‘from the cloud.’ Customers are getting educated and shopping around for these services and it is expected that demand will continue to grow.

According to CRN, solution providers who want to get ahead in the storage space have more options than just following the established vendors. The 2008 CRN Emerging Vendors list includes hot storage companies with a variety of innovative products. “These emerging vendors have a winning view on the storage space.”
