Quarterly new license revenues increased 90 percent over the prior year period. Revenue growth was driven by the company’s data migration and data replication offerings, particularly in open systems products as the number of sales transactions increased 50 percent compared with the prior quarter. In addition, revenues from data recovery solutions for mainframe platforms doubled.
During the quarter, Softek announced two new products, bringing first-to-market data migration functionality to enterprise customers. In July, the company introduced a jointly developed software product with EMC, Logical Data Migration Facility (LDMF), the industry’s first data migration software that relocates data non-disruptively at the dataset-level on storage arrays operating within mainframe environments. LDMF is currently completing beta testing, with GA shipments planned in the next month.
In September, Softek announced UNIX support for the company’s Transparent Data Migration Facility (TDMF) product, with the unique ability to keep UNIX-based applications on-line during data migrations. TDMF UNIX is host-based data migration software that utilizes patent-pending technologies to dynamically ‘switchover’ the I/O of source volumes to target volumes during the data migration process. The new software is presently shipping to customers using the HP-UX operating system, with support for AIX and Solaris beginning next month.
“We are pleased with our continued growth this quarter, which again demonstrates that our strategy for enabling non-disruptive data movement in both open systems and mainframe environments is resonating well with our customers and partners,” said Steven Murphy, president and chief executive officer. “We are on pace to achieve our financial goals for the current fiscal year and are excited at the potential contributions from our recently introduced enterprise data migration products.”
