Semperis Built a $100 Million Business Around the Day After Your Worst Hack

Druva Bet the Backup Business on a Radical Idea: Delete the Hardware
The company began by selling the same kind of backup software its founders had left behind. Then it rebuilt the product, the pricing and the customer bargain around one stubborn premise: backup infrastructure should be Druva's problem.
CrashPlan Killed Its Consumer Darling. Now It Wants to Back Up the Enterprise.
The backup app that once abandoned home users has returned as a broader enterprise safety net. Its second act is less about saving vacation photos and more about restoring research, email, and business continuity before a bad day becomes a board meeting.
The $15 Billion Backup Company That Wants to Make AI Trustworthy
Veeam turned the unglamorous work of backup into a $15 billion enterprise. Now it is betting $1.725 billion that the same customers will trust it to govern the data feeding their AI.
Halcyon Bet Your Security Stack Will Fail. Its Payoff Is a $1 Billion Ransomware Safety Net
Most security vendors promise to keep attackers out. Halcyon starts with the impolite assumption that every layer - including its own - can fail, then sells enterprises a second chance before ransomware turns downtime into leverage.
Scality Bet Against the Storage Tax - Now AI Is Making the Bet Look Timely
For 17 years, Scality has sold a stubborn idea: the valuable part of storage should be software, while the hardware underneath stays replaceable. Ransomware, sovereignty rules and GPU-hungry AI have made that once-technical argument a boardroom concern.

Backup used to mean making a copy. Commvault is betting the harder, more valuable job is proving an entire business can come back clean - data, identities, applications and cloud infrastructure included.
