What Geminare does

Geminare, founded in 2004 in Toronto by Joshua Geist (founder & CEO), operates as a North America-headquartered disaster recovery and cyber resilience managed services provider. The company targets both small and medium enterprises (per its original firmographic positioning) and enterprise customers across compliance-heavy verticals including healthcare, banking and finance, insurance, retail, manufacturing, government and education, and energy. GTM is consultative direct enterprise sales with multi-year contracts, supported by a channel and technology partner ecosystem.

The product portfolio centers on managed data protection and recovery services delivered from 100% onshore North America data centers. Core offerings include Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), Backup as a Service (BaaS), Ransomware Recovery as a Service (RRaaS), Managed Resiliency, and Backup Validation. Underlying differentiators include verified immutable backups with continuous threat detection, air-gapping, secure cleanrooms for forensic recovery, and multi-platform support spanning IBM Z Mainframe, IBM Power, and x86 systems in heterogeneous hybrid environments. Adjacent services include data center colocation, network services, cross connects, cloud on-ramp, tape storage with air-gapping, and consulting/advisory for business continuity planning. AI-powered predictive analytics is integrated into the platform via ecosystem partnerships. The named technology partnership with Zerto provides replication and failover capabilities embedded across customer deployments.

The business model is subscription-based managed services with quote-based, contract-negotiated pricing tied to platform complexity, service levels, and compliance requirements. Revenue streams include recurring managed services subscriptions (DRaaS, BaaS, RRaaS, Managed Resiliency), professional services (BCP consulting, DR migration), and data center / colocation revenue. Marketing leans on analyst recognition (10+ consecutive years in Gartner DRaaS reports; ISG Provider Lens positioning), client success stories, and content assets such as the Ransomware Recovery Playbook. The firm's scale indicators — an 86+ NPS, 100% data recovery in 14 hours for a ransomware case, and 15,000+ patients served annually at a healthcare customer — are anchored to a small employee base (11–50 per firmographics), creating a notable tension with the operational scope described in current company material that is unresolvable from the available data.
