GFI Software has acquired IASO, a Netherlands-based company that provides online backup software and storage solutions to companies of all sizes. Details of the deal are not being disclosed.

“We have been using IASO's technology in GFI MAX RemoteManagement for over a year and it has been a great success with our customers,” said Walter Scott, CEO at GFI Software.

“Acquiring IASO's technology provides us with a huge opportunity to expand this side of our business, target new opportunities in the MSP community and among businesses that want to reduce the technical and logistical overhead of backup and benefit from the fastest cloud based restore available,” Scott added.

On the other hand, IASO also seems to be pleased with GFI’s decision.

“We have worked with GFI for over a year now and we are very pleased that GFI has chosen to take our technology forward as its strategic solution for online backup. We see this as recognition of the value we have created so far in the Netherlands and in other regions,” IASO's Johan Jongsma commented.

“GFI has the vision, the ability and the resources to take our unique backup technology to a new level on a global scale.”
