History of SIOS Technology:
- SIOS Technology was founded in December 1999 as SteelEye Technology, a spin-off project from NCR that created the LifeKeeper high availability clustering solution and began targeting the fledgling Linux server community with the product in January 2000.
- At the time, Microsoft Windows, UNIX, and mainframe OSs were the mainstream OSs, and Linux was considered a variant for hobbyists, with few people taking it seriously for business use. Nevertheless, the company saw the great potential in Linux to go beyond the hobbyist community and into the mainstream business community, and set out to promote Linux in a variety of business applications. Today, Linux has become one of the most widely used OSs in the world.
- In 2003, the company introduced LifeKeeper for Windows 2003.
- In 2006, SIOS Technology Inc., based in Tokyo, Japan, acquired SteelEye Technology and created SIOS Technology Corp. when it globally expanded its business of assisting large enterprises in adopting open, cloud computing technology.
- In 2008, the company launched its SIOS DataKeeper data replication solution.
- SIOS has received many industry recognitions for its innovations including a cloud excellence award by Cloud Computing Magazine, an InfoTech Spotlight Data Center Excellence Award, and Best in Biz International awards.
“This is an unusual time because it seems that things in our world are changing fast. However, in reality times are always changing fast and the sky is not the limit anymore, literally. Rather, the sky (cloud) is the launching pad to even greater heights,” continued Nobuo Kita. “As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we are committed more than ever before to advance the resilience of applications that hold our customer’s most important assets – their data.”
