Asigra Inc. was essentially a cloud backup company before the cloud existed. Founded in 1986, the University-Heights-area privately held company was the first in the industry to provide an online backup and recovery platform. Founder David Farajun was frustrated with the loss of his own information, and set up a solution to the common problem. Since then, the company claims to have constantly led the market with innovations, and today it is among the largest backup enterprises in the world. And it is continuing to grow.
Last month, the company announced a new partner,
NetApp, which is among the larger of their roster of several hundred. That and other new accounts have seen the company's staff swell by 20% this year, and according to Director of Marketing Programs Amrita Chandra, the company expects to add another 20 positions -- mostly in sales and sales engineering -- in the immediate future.
