US technology giant IBM has signed a deal to acquire Bengaluru-based cloud recovery and migration software company Sanovi for an undisclosed sum.

“Our clients are embracing a digitized world where applications need to be ‘always-on’, said Martin Jetter, senior vice-president, Global Technology Services, IBM. “As a cloud-native company, Sanovi will strengthen our resiliency portfolio to manage the broad range of applications, data, and IT systems of our clients balancing digital and hybrid cloud transformation with increased regulatory compliance.”

Sanovi was founded by Chandra Sekhar Pulamarsetti and Vindod K in 2003 and the company provides hybrid cloud recovery, cloud migration and business continuity software for enterprise data centres and cloud infrastructure.

Adding these capabilities along with advanced analytics will better enable IBM to bolster its Software Defined Resiliency strategy and delivery of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery services for clients undergoing digital and hybrid Cloud transformation, the company said in a statement.

IBM plans to integrate the Sanovi capabilities into the IBM Global Technology Services unit by the end of 2016. IBM also intends to licence the Sanovi disaster recovery management software as a standalone platform to customers.

“IBM’s technology leadership in hybrid cloud infrastructure and resiliency services makes it a clear choice to bring end-to-end services to our customers and transformational value to IBM’s existing client base,” said Chandra Sekhar Pulamarasetti, co-founder & chief executive of Sanovi. “Together, we will provide next-generation resiliency solutions for robust hybrid cloud deployments across the globe.”
