Horizon DataSys

What Horizon DataSys does

Horizon DataSys is a private software vendor specializing in Windows endpoint protection through reboot-to-restore and instant system recovery technologies. The company's core products — Reboot Restore Enterprise, Reboot Restore Standard, and RollBack Rx (Professional and Server editions) — automate the restoration of PCs and servers to known-good states, eliminating malware persistence, unauthorized software installations, and configuration drift. Underlying these products is a sector-level snapshot engine that captures complete system states at the binary level, including operating system files, registry entries, and installed programs. The company complements this portfolio with SPIN Safe Browser, a web filtering application available across iOS, Android, and Chrome.

The company primarily serves public access computing environments, including K-12 schools, post-secondary institutions, public libraries, retail point-of-sale systems, and corporate workplaces. Its target verticals are characterized by shared or high-turnover endpoints where user-induced changes, malware exposure, and limited IT resources make traditional reimaging impractical. The company claims its software reduces IT support tickets by at least 50% in educational deployments and replaces hours-to-days of backup restoration with seconds-to-minutes recovery.

Horizon DataSys operates a sales-led go-to-market, combining direct phone/email sales, online quote requests, self-serve downloads, and a partner/reseller channel. Revenue is generated through software licensing, with both subscription (annual billing) and perpetual license options; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company employs 51-100 people and maintains operations serving North American and global customers, with no disclosed funding, parent company, or acquisition activity in the available sources.

Core offering

Horizon DataSys develops and sells Windows-based PC data protection software that automatically restores computers to a clean, predefined state on every reboot (Reboot Restore Enterprise/Standard) or enables instant recovery to any prior snapshot (RollBack Rx Professional/Server Edition). Its products also include SPIN Safe Browser, a web-filtering browser for iOS, Android, and Chrome. Core customers are organizations running shared or public-access Windows endpoints such as schools, libraries, retail POS terminals, and corporate fleets.

Product overview

Horizon DataSys offers a portfolio of PC data protection and instant system recovery solutions organized into three main product lines: Reboot Restore (automated reboot-to-restore protection), RollBack Rx (snapshot-based instant recovery), and SPIN Safe Browser (web content filtering). Reboot Restore Enterprise and Standard provide automated system protection that resets computers to pristine states on every reboot, ideal for public access and shared PC environments. RollBack Rx Professional and Server Edition offer sector-level snapshot technology enabling instant restoration to any previous state, functioning as a time machine for Windows. SPIN Safe Browser delivers integrated internet filtering across multiple platforms. Together, these solutions target educational institutions, public libraries, retail POS environments, and enterprise deployments needing to maintain consistent, secure Windows systems.

• NetSupport: Supplies classroom and IT management software (including PC protection and control) for education, overlapping in the school-lab management use case and buyer profile.
• EaseUS: Provides Todo Backup and system recovery utilities for Windows endpoints and servers, competing on backup/restore functionality for SMB and consumer buyers.

Broad incumbents

• Carbonite: Endpoint and server backup/recovery provider serving SMB and education; overlaps on data protection and recovery, though focused on cloud backup rather than reboot-to-restore.
• Acronis: Broad cyber-protection vendor offering backup, disaster recovery, and instant restore for endpoints and servers; overlaps on data protection/recovery but as part of a wider integrated suite.
• Veeam: Leading backup, recovery, and business-continuity vendor for physical and virtual environments; competes in the broader data protection/DR category that includes RollBack Rx server recovery.

Direct peers

• Faronics: Maker of Deep Freeze, the leading reboot-to-restore/instant system restore software for shared and public-access Windows PCs in schools and libraries—the company's most direct competitor and named comparison target.
• Macrium Software: Provides Macrium Reflect disk imaging, snapshot, and rapid restore for Windows PCs and servers, directly comparable to RollBack Rx's snapshot-based recovery.
• Fortres Grand (Clean Slate): Provides Clean Slate reboot-to-restore and desktop security software for public-access and lab computers, competing directly for the same education, library, and kiosk use cases.

Others
