Likewise to Grow Seattle-Area Workforce

Likewise Software
will be substantially growing its Seattle-area workforce by more
than 25 percent – primarily adding software engineers as well as sales and
marketing professionals.

The company is especially looking for software
engineers with specific experience in advanced storage protocols, file systems
and ‘big data.’

"Storage software is an explosively-growing
market segment due to virtualization, cloud computing and strong proliferation
of unstructured data in the enterprise," said Barry Crist, CEO,
Likewise. "We are witnessing big
shifts in the landscape of storage providers, which have created strong market
opportunities for Likewise. We need to continue to grow our team accordingly."

Likewise offers a security model for file-based access and cross-platform, integrated
storage across physical, virtual and cloud environments. The software provides
both access to and control of a company’s intellectual assets, from Windows, Unix and Linux systems,
with integrated identity and access management.

The company’s OEM
products, Likewise
Storage Services and the Likewise
Identity Service, provide secure access to data with
cross-platform support on Linux of the SMB/CIFS and NFS protocols, for
NAS-enabled storage. In addition, the company will
bring to market an end-user product for the enterprise, built on the Likewise Storage
Services platform.
