Using the new team Asigra will continue expansion in these regions which have demonstrated significant opportunities for growth over the past 12 months.

Tim Stammers, Ovum's storage analyst, said: "2008 promises to be breakout year for enterprise-class information recovery services as a growing number of enterprises outsource their backup processes. Beneficiaries of this will include the service providers, integrators and service oriented backup platform vendors that specialize in the upper end of this market."
