Backup firm draws on the Cloud

The idea for Cloud-based recovery firm CloudRanger was drawn on a bar napkin, writes Trish Dromey

Started from an idea drawn on a cocktail napkin in a Las Vegas bar, three-year old Donegal startup CloudRanger now has clients in over 20 countries, including the US, Canada and Australia.

The idea, drawn by company chief executive and founder, David Gildea was for a cloud server management system which includes automated backup and disaster recovery management. The current clients include online clothing retailer Bohoo.com as well as Hewlett Packard and NASCAR in the US.
