PolyServe

PolyServe was founded in 2004 by Michael Callahan, serving as chief technology officer, and Carter George, serving as Vice-President, as "a software company in Portland, specializing in database and file serving." HP, when it bought Compaq, acquired its StorageWorks; HP, when it bought PolyServe, placed its 100+ employees within StorageWorks. An example of PolyServe's value is that a large British government agency which had 14 idle backup servers * dropped the number to two, even though "PolyServe doesn't require the passive nodes, but he maintains them as extra protection" and * reduced "failover time from five minutes to 30 seconds .. by 90% the number of users who lose connections during a failover."
