ETI-NET

What ETI-NET does

ETI-NET is a privately held enterprise software company that develops data protection, storage, and workload management software purpose-built for HPE NonStop fault-tolerant servers, with extensions into the UNISYS ClearPath platform via the B&L Associates partnership. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Montreal with offices in the UK and the US, the company's product portfolio centers on BackBox (a Virtual Tape Controller plus an integrated QoreStor variant offering deduplication, FIPS 140-2 encryption, cloud tiering to S3-compatible providers, and AI/ML anomaly detection), MultiBatch (Nonstop workload automation with NIST CSF-aligned cybersecurity features), C-Deep (transaction monitoring and 10+ year history query for payment processors), Sentinel (system and process monitoring with TaskMaster automated fault correction), MQGate (IBM MQ-to-Nonstop EMS event translation), and BCOM/HCOM (cross-platform file transfer and online transaction switching to CICS, IMS/DC, and IDMS/DC). Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time software licensing, recurring support and maintenance contracts (Standard and Enhanced 24x7 tiers), and implementation professional services delivered through HPE PointNext Services. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, technology-distribution partnerships with HPE, IBM, Dell EMC, Cohesity, Microsoft, and others, regional channel partners (DXC, Kyndryl, Syscom, DataOneAsia, EZTIPS), and active participation in HPE Nonstop user group events globally. Customers are concentrated in verticals where nonstop transaction processing is mission-critical — banks, payment processors, credit card networks, telecom operators, and, to a lesser extent, healthcare and retail — including named references such as the UK's Central Bank, an American financial institution, multiple global and Nordic banks, a global payment processor, and major automotive and securities firms. The company became part of the PartnerOne Capital private equity portfolio in 2026 and operates as an independent business unit with continuing product development and customer engagements.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Rubrik: Rubrik is a leading cloud-native data management and backup platform with AI-driven anomaly detection — directly competing with the AI/ML capabilities ETI-NET has added to BackBox with QoreStor in the broader enterprise backup market.
• BMC Software: BMC is the enterprise workload automation market leader with Control-M, competing with ETI-NET's MultiBatch for batch scheduling and job orchestration budgets across large enterprises.
• Cohesity: Cohesity is a broad data protection and management platform that already integrates with ETI-NET's BackBox as a certified storage repository. Cohesity competes in the same backup and ransomware-recovery category ETI-NET serves.
• Veeam Software: Veeam is a market leader in data protection and backup for virtual, physical, and cloud workloads. While Veeam does not natively target HPE Nonstop, it competes for adjacent hybrid infrastructure backup budgets and increasingly supports legacy workloads.

Emerging players

• RSM Partners: RSM Partners is a specialized HPE Nonstop partner providing services and software for security, performance, and migrations. They overlap with ETI-NET's customer base and emerging capabilities in Nonstop monitoring and management.
• Stonebranch: Stonebranch provides a modern, cloud-native workload automation platform (Universal Automation Center) that increasingly competes for hybrid IT automation budgets against legacy batch schedulers like ETI-NET's MultiBatch.
• NuWave Technology Partners: NuWave provides consulting, integration, and managed services specifically for HPE Nonstop environments. They overlap with ETI-NET's professional services motion and compete for the same Nonstop IT budget.

Direct peers

• XYPRO Technology: XYPRO is the leading provider of HPE Nonstop cybersecurity and compliance software. ETI-NET and XYPRO already have a strategic co-development partnership, and they serve the same Nonstop customer base with adjacent (rather than overlapping) security and data protection offerings.
• B&L Associates: B&L Associates is the world leader in automation for Unisys ClearPath and integrates ETI-NET's BackBox into its product portfolio. B&L serves a parallel fault-tolerant computing niche with adjacent backup and automation offerings.
• Gravic: Gravic is a long-standing technology partner of ETI-NET and a provider of HPE Nonstop solutions including Shadowbase data replication and event processing. Both companies target the same Nonstop installed base with complementary high-availability software.
