    that's quite a bit of hype there batman

    From some folks I have spoken with who have dealt with Actifio the reality is not quite as rosy as these articles seem to depict.

    I'll leave it at that though..

      I'm not sure who you spoke to, Nate, but I wonder if he was drinking from an EMC coffee cup at the time.

    Thumb Up

    Guess it will depend if they support their ISV well and their ISVs produce good projects

    Typical pattern with small co's is they support their top few big companies and everyone else slides.

    If they support their ISVs well and create an ecosystem around the product (while staying independent) they could become a major player.

    Could work. Thumbs up for their success so far.

    I am in the trenches and I promise you its real

    Hey Nate.

    I have been with Actifio for 15 months and have brought on multiple customers who are universally happy.

    We just did a launch event in Sydney and five customers presented and did an open Q&A session with the audience including press and lots of potential clients. It was a great session with great feedback from open and honest customers who were not cherry picked for the panel.

    Still don't take my word for it. Why not chat with the CIO of IAG NZ: https://twitter.com/kevinangland

    His most recent tweet was sent just after the event where he said:

    "Spent the day at @actifio APAC launch sharing our story about their product. Great product backed by some really great people."

    He is a client who has bought three of our Copy Data Engines.
