Cristie Software Completes Acquisition of Storix

Cristie Software completed the acquisition of Storix, Inc. for an undisclosed sum.  

Storix is a provider of backup and recovery software for Linux, AIX and Solaris based virtual and physical systems through its product SBAdmin (System Backup Administrator). The product was released in 2004 as the first flexible full-system backup and bare-metal recovery solution for Red Hat, Ubuntu, and SUSE Linux on x86 hardware and later for SUSE Linux running on IBM’s Power Systems (Little Endian). The firm provides system and data protection to over 200 customers, mostly in USA.  

Cristie Software provides bare-metal recovery solutions that integrate with backup solutions including Dell Technologies’ Avamar and Networker products, Cohesity DataProtect, Rubrik Security Cloud and IBM Spectrum Protect. The addition of SBAdmin extends bare-metal recovery support for IBM Linux on Power hardware. SBAdmin will compliment and extend Cristie Software’s existing portfolio of system recovery, replication, and migration solutions.

“We are delighted to add Storix adaptable system recovery and backup management solutions to our portfolio of software products and to provide ongoing development and support for existing and future customers,” said Scott Sterry, VP business development, Cristie Software. “This acquisition comes at an exciting time as we continue to expand the feature set of our system recovery solutions including our patented ML technology which automates system recovery failure resolution. We are also delighted to officially welcome the incredibly talented Storix team to Cristie Software.”

Manuel Altamirano, VP sales, Storix, said: “The introduction of Storix into the Cristie family not only greatly increases our development resources but also opens up exciting opportunities to offer our customers a much wider portfolio of solutions.“
