Print Edition StoriesAprigo’s three co-founders appear unafraid of a cliché: the Waltham data storage startup announced in a blog post this morning it will “pivot,” and add the word “cloud” to its name.
Now doing business as “CloudLock,” the company is adopting the name of a new product it announced in January – a protection offering for web-based data. At the same time, Aprigo announced it would retire its initial product, Aprigo Ninja, data storage analytics software designed to estimate costs and catch redundant data.
Founded in 2007 by three co-founders who met while serving in the Israeli Defense Forces, CloudLock has raised $3 million from Cedar Fund, an Israeli VC firm. Co-founder and CEO Gil Zimmerman is a former EMC Corp. executive. Co-founder Tsahy Shapsa is a former IT manager at Sun Microsystems Inc., and founder and organizer of the Boston Cloud Services meetup and the Boston Amazon Web Services meetup. A third founder, Ron Zalkind, was director of product management at Interwise, an online conferencing software provider acquired by AT&T in 2007 for $121 million.
The company raised funds and made its public debut in 2009.
