The Backup and Recovery Systems division saw 100% growth globally, year-on-year and is the fastest growing product segment in the company.

The new appointments have been made to allow the company to reach its growth targets for that area of the business.

David Webster, President, EMC Australia and New Zealand, says the growth is down to the need for businesses to manage huge increases in data and EMC’s Data Domain and Avamar technologies.

“We are seeing significant growth in the areas of finance, retail, education and the public sector as IT departments grapple with managing huge increases in data and the issues this creates.” said Webster.

With the new appointments EMC will focus more on relationships with key partners.

Shane Moore was appointed to the newly created Sydney-based position of Marketing Manager, BRS Division, EMC APJ.

Shaun McLagan takes on the newly created position of Sales Director, BRS Division, EMC Australia and New Zealand.

Mike Sparkes, a new addition to EMC, has been appointed to the role of Marketing Manager, BRS Division, EMC Australia and New Zealand.

David Allinson, another new addition has been appointed to the position of Channel Director, BRS Division, Australia and New Zealand.
