The firm has also announced that it is welcoming Ratmir Timashev, president of Veeam Management LLC and founder/former-CEO at Veeam Software, to its board of directors. He is a regarded figure in the backup and DR industry. His presence will be an asset in helping guide N2W through the next stage of its development.

Jason Judge and Andy Langsam have also joined the company as CEO and COO, respectively. The pair bring a track record of building enterprise software companies.

Andy Langsam, COO, was part of the LOGICnow team that was recently acquired by SolarWinds and part of the ScriptLogic team that was acquired by Quest Software.

“As enterprise customers move more mission-critical applications and data to the cloud the need to protect them increases greatly. N2W Software is well positioned to lead the backup and data protection market for the public cloud, and is already the number one cloud-native backup and data protection solution for AWS,” said Timashev. “I am excited to be part of this process and look forward to joining the N2W team and sitting on the board of directors.”

“Since founding N2W Software in 2012 we’ve focused on making Cloud Protection Manager (CPM) the leader in AWS backup and DR. The Insight investment and Ratmir joining our board are a true validation of the CPM vision“, said Uri Wolloch, founder and CTO, N2W. “I am tremendously excited that we’re now in a position dramatically accelerate the CPM roadmap on the way to turning our vision for cloud data protection into reality.“
