Network Appliance completes acquisition of Topio
12 dicembre 2006 -- Network Appliance,
Inc. (NASDAQ:NTAP) today announced that it has completed the
acquisition of Topio, a privately held Santa Clara,
California-based company with R&D in Haifa, Israel. Under the
terms of the definitive agreement announced November 8, 2006,
Network Appliance acquired Topio for approximately $160 million in
an all-cash transaction.
Topio is highly regarded for its innovative
software that helps customers replicate, recover, and protect data
over any distance regardless of the underlying server or storage
infrastructure. In addition to delivering a broader range of data
protection, data migration, and data cloning capabilities, this
acquisition expands the NetApp heterogeneous data-protection
portfolio by simplifying the replication of data from other storage
arrays to NetApp storage systems.
Topio will be a new Data Replication business
unit within NetApp and its research and development team will
continue to operate in Haifa, Israel.
Additional details on the NetApp acquisition
of Topio can be found in the November 8 initial acquisition press
release, available online at http://www.netapp.com/news/press/news_rel_20061108.
