Sepaton appoints Tofano to CTO post

By Michelle Lang

Sepaton Inc. has named ex-Quantum Corp. CTO Jeff Tofano as chief technology officer of the Marlborough data protection company.

Tofano brings 30 years of technical experience to the role. Prior to his CTO position at Quantum, a data backup and recovery firm based in San Jose, he served as technical director of Decru/Network Appliance and as chief architect of Onstor Inc. Earlier senior architect roles brought him to Oracle Corp., Tandem Computers and Stratus Technologies. Tofano has a bachelors degree in computer science and mathematics from Colgate University.

Founded in 2003, Sepaton sells disk-less data protection appliances that enable backup, restore, deduplication, replication and disaster recovery.

In February, Sepaton promoted Mike Thompson from executive vice president of worldwide sales and marketing to president and CEO of the company. Thompson was previously president and CEO of Egenera Corp.

Privately held Sepaton is backed by California-based Menlo Ventures and Focus Ventures, Virginia’s Valhalla Partners, Israel-based Jerusalem Venture Partners and Boston-based HarbourVest Partners. The company’s chose its name because reads as “no tapes” backwards.
