Imceda was the brainchild of three computer technology consultants who were involved with some of the largest implementations of enterprise SQL Server systems in the world. Through that experience the Imceda founders identified the pressing need for new data backup technologies, as the requirements for data storage have increased exponentially in recent years. The new rules of 24 X 7 business require that organizations store ever-growing volumes of data in large databases, with many companies planning to retain all of their critical data for the next 70 years.
Even with data storage growing at its current rate, storage management has been largely overlooked. Backup technologies, in particular, have not kept pace with the explosion of complexity in database systems. Procedures for backing up data are mired in yesterday's thinking, and the business impact can be profound. Effectively bringing a system offline when a backup is taking place is unacceptable because data and application availability has a direct impact on a company's ability to do business. Consequently, database backup has become a high priority, expensive procedure for most organizations.
In 1999, the founders of Imceda created new methodologies for rapid database backup for Microsoft's popular SQL Server platform. The technology is based on high performance, low impact compression technology. These new methodologies were designed into an easy-to-install, easy-to-use and highly cost-effective software package that reduces backup and recovery requirements. The software was designed to mirror the commands for native SQL Server backup, making the learning curve extremely short. The product is called LiteSpeed.
The market demand for LiteSpeed has more than doubled every quarter since its introduction in 2000. In conjunction with a multi-tiered sales and marketing effort, including leveraging co-op opportunities with Microsoft (Imceda is a Gold Certified Partner), LiteSpeed has already garnered global customer acceptance; many customers have enthusiastically offered testimonials to explain the business benefits they have come to enjoy with the implementation of LiteSpeed. Companies like Merrill Lynch, JD Edwards, Revenue Science, and Symantec are realizing the benefits of using the product and more happy customers are being added each day.
With the data storage market expected to be the fastest growing segment in IT, Imceda is well positioned to provide new, innovative products to help manage the database administration processes. The need for flexible solutions that work with a wide variety of storage hardware and line of business applications will continue to increase.
