SEATTLE, August 10, 2010 - Datacastle, a market leader for business resiliency solutions for the
mobile workforce, has named Phil Evans vice president of sales and business
development, EMEA with responsibility for driving the expansion of Datacastle
RED sales and partnerships in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa markets.
"With the growing number of data privacy and data breach notification
regulations in EMEA market countries, organizations across this region are
seeking a comprehensive laptop backup and data protection solution like
Datacastle RED," said Ron Faith, CEO of Datacastle. "Phil's extensive
experience in building direct and indirect sales distribution channels in the
EMEA storage and security market will be instrumental to our success."
Mr. Evans comes to Datacastle with 20 years of sales and business
development experience in Europe and North America. He established the EMEA
sales operations for EVault prior to Seagate's acquisition and the creation
of i365, and held numerous positions at i365 including director of business
development for EMEA and vice president of sales for Northern Europe. Mr.
Evans also served as a director at Redstor, a UK storage management company,
and established the European operations of Professional Services in EMEA for
Legato Systems. He holds a first class honours degree in Business Information
Technology from University of Central Lancashire.
"The combination of more laptops, more comprehensive data breach
regulations and stiffer penalties for non-compliance means that more and more
EMEA organizations will be looking for a comprehensive solution that is easy
to implement and manage," said Mr. Evans. "Datacastle RED delivers the
features organizations are looking for - data backup, at rest encryption and
remote data deletion-in a single agent, policy-driven product that is
friction free for both end users and IT."
