What Double-Take Software does

Double-Take Software is an Irvine, California-based software company founded in 1985 that historically offered affordable workload optimization products designed to move workloads across infrastructure environments. The firm operated at a headcount of 501-1,000 employees and was listed on NASDAQ under the ticker DBTK; it is currently flagged as delisted. Capital formation includes a $15 million Series 2 financing closed on 2003-01-14, led by ABS Capital Partners with participation from Dell Technologies Capital and J & W Seligman.

Between 2006 and 2008 Double-Take pursued an inorganic growth strategy, acquiring Sunbelt System Software (2006-05-31), TimeSpring Software (2007-12-26), and emBoot (2008-08-25), all for undisclosed amounts, to broaden its workload optimization product surface. The company has not recorded a public funding event or acquisition since 2008 in the provided input, and no current revenue, product roadmap, or operating geography disclosures are available. Note that the bulk of the structured technology, product, and customer data attached to this record pertains to a different entity (Carbonite by OpenText, a cloud backup subsidiary of OpenText) and does not reflect Double-Take Software's own product, technology, or customer footprint.
