"Axcient began with a mission to protect SMBs from data loss and business downtime by offering the most reliable and complete solution in the market. We are now realizing that vision, with incredible growth on every front," said Justin Moore, CEO of Axcient. "In 2011 we continued our product innovation and brought total data and application availability to the SMB market with Axcient Cloud Continuity. 2012 is even more ambitious, with plans to bring to market a whole new suite of features that further maximize SMBs' productivity."

In the last year, Axcient has seen:

• A 10x increase in the amount of customer data added to the Axcient cloud each day, reaching 15,000GB daily by the end of 2011
• A nearly 400% increase in monthly recurring revenues
• Double the number of partners reselling Axcient across North America
• The addition of more than 300 new features and functions to the Axcient platform
• The Axcient team grow to 100 people

As SMBs experience rapid surges in data, stricter regulations, and productivity challenges, they will represent the newest portion of the big data surge. With datacenters in North America and Canada, a new investment of $15.5M in 2011, the most powerful market-leading technology, and overwhelming channel support, Axcient is well positioned to meet this surge and the increased data backup and business uptime needs of SMBs in 2012.

"As a service provider, partnering with Axcient has changed my business," said Mike Heil, CEO of ThrottleNet. "They're clearly the emerging leader in this space, which has been dominated by legacy technologies for far too long. Axcient is solving a real problem that all SMBs face – downtime and lost productivity."
