专为中小型企业服务的数据备份公司Datto,获7500万美元B轮融资

Datto,一家为中小型企业服务的数据备份和恢复公司,在今天宣布获得7500万美元B轮融资。
此轮融资由TCV领投。至此,这家成立8年的公司,两轮融资累计金额达1亿美元。
TCV 的普通合伙人Ted Coons表示,他们对Datto很感兴趣,它既有强势的领导、成熟的产品,还有巨大的市场潜力。“全世界有大约500万家中小型企业,这意味着很大的发展空间。”
当中小型企业遇到突发灾难,例如飓风等大型自然灾害可以在顷刻之间就将办公室和设备摧毁一空,此时Datto可以帮助企业进行快速备份。即便是使用云端服务的公司,也很可能有一些本地服务器,Datto的职责就是保证它们在灾难来临时能继续运作。
Datto开发的硬件和软件能够以最高每5分钟一次的频率,对一家公司的整个信息技术系统进行快速备份。2011年,当龙卷风席卷密苏里州时,Datto在瞬间就恢复了当地医院访问医疗记录的能力。在飓风桑迪摧毁了纽约对冲基金公司Richmond Hill的系统之后,Datto在数分钟内就令其恢复上线,重新接入市场。
在去年,Datto推出了Backupify——一款云间备份工具,将中小企业的安全级别又提升了一个等级。
尽管公司并不是很需要这笔融资,CEO Austin McChord还是看见了此次融资能带来的一些有利条件,并且抓住了它。“我们是盈利的,但能有一些额外资本用来帮助地域扩张、开发产品或进行战略采购也挺不错。”
产品主要是通过托管服务供应商们进行销售,这些供货商帮助中小型企业进行IT运营。McChord称Datto现在有550名雇员,和近5万名用户,其中85%的用户来自美国。
McChord透露,未来的产品可以帮助用户们在公司权限范围内使用160千兆位的数据,这些数据一般在灾难发生前很少被使用到。McChord拒绝透露这些数据将被如何使用,毕竟产品只是他头脑中的一个概念还并未成型,但公司会认真考虑,如何才能帮助用户们信息利用最大化。

Datto Scores $75 Million As It Seeks To Expand Beyond Disaster Recovery
Datto, the company that acts as a backup and disaster recovery service for small to medium sized businesses (SMBs), announced today that it has raised $75 million in a Series B investment.
The round was led by Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV) and brings the total investment across two rounds for the eight-year old company to just over $100 million.
Ted Coons, a general partner at TCV said the firm was attracted to Datto because it had strong leadership with a well-defined product in a huge potential market space.
“On a worldwide basis there are about 5 million [SMBs] — businesses of substance — they’ve got 50,000 endpoints/customers. There’s a lot of room to build,” he said.
Datto helps SMBs get back up and running quickly in the event of a weather event like a hurricane (or any disaster) that could wipe out the offices, computers and on-site servers of a small business. Even companies using cloud services very likely have some on-premises servers and the service is designed to ensure business continuity when a disaster hits.
Last year Datto also bought Backupify, a cloud-to-cloud backup tool giving it another level of safety for SMBs.
Even though they didn’t necessarily need the money, CEO Austin McChord saw an opportunity to get some additional capital on favorable terms and he took it.
“We are profitable, but it’s nice to have [additional] cash to continue geographic expansion, develop new [products] or make a strategic purchase,” CEO Austin McChord told TechCrunch.
The company sells primarily through the channel using Managed Service Providers, organizations which help SMBs run their IT function. McChord reports Datto currently has 550 employees and in the neighborhood of 50,000 customers, 85 percent of which are in the US.
Part of his long-term plan is to expand further into worldwide markets, and to that end, the company already has an office in the UK staffed with 50 people to help establish a market in Europe. It also has a newly minted office in Australia to help make a push there and into Asia.
The company also wants to use some of the money to expand the product line and it already has an internet-enabled networking product coming out soon. The product, as with the backup and recovery service is aimed at SMBs and designed to allow MSPs to communicate with the network device even when there is no internet connection on-site, something that would be very useful in a disaster situation. Instead of rolling a truck and having a service worker check on the scene, they have options to communicate with the network before they have to do that.
McChord also hinted at a future product that could help customers make use of the 160 petabytes of data under the company’s purview that is just sitting there unused unless disaster strikes. He wouldn’t say how he would use it — it wasn’t clear that he even has a specific product in mind just yet — but the company is clearly thinking about how it could help its customers make better use of all of that information, while expanding the product line beyond pure disaster recovery.
By this time next year, the company, which has its headquarter in Norwalk, Connecticut could have close to 700 employees as part of its expansion plans.
