History

SIOS Technology Inc. was founded in May 1997 in Japan and has led the development of open source software and Web application software. Given its open source software experience, the company pushed for the early adoption of Linux products in Japan. SIOS Technology Inc. provides SAN and SANLess software products that protect applications from downtime and data loss in any combination of physical, virtual, and cloud. In addition to its SteelEye Technology acquisition in 2006, SIOS Technology Inc. in 2008 acquired Gluegent, a web application development company.

SteelEye Technology was founded in December 1999 by Jim Fitzgerald, Sue Ellery and Jim Mason. The company acquired the LifeKeeper high-availability clustering solution from NCR Corporation that year, and began targeting the fledgling Linux server community with the product in January 2000.[3]

AT&T’s Bell Labs created the LifeKeeper platform in the mid 1990s as a high-availability solution for AT&T’s Star Unix servers that operated the telecom company’s phone switching technology. NCR took control of the LifeKeeper portfolio when AT&T spun off the company in 1997.[4]

The business focuses on software products that provide high availability and disaster protection for business critical applications.

In 2003, the company introduced LifeKeeper for Windows 2003. In 2008, the company launched its SIOS DataKeeper data replication solution. The company expanded its presence into virtual environments with the introduction of business continuity solutions for VMware in 2007 and Citrix[5] and Microsoft’s Hyper-V[6] in 2008.
