SunGard to buy Strohl Systems
SunGard's disaster recovery business got a boost last week when it announced plans to buy Strohl Systems, a provider of business continuity planning (BCP) software and services, says IT Jungle.
Strohl Systems has a sizable Power Systems (formerly System i) business, which is one of the areas that SunGard targets with its DR and hot site services.
In addition to providing BCP services, Strohl develops several BCP software products, including continuity planning software, a business impact and risk assessment tool, a notification solution and a virtual emergency operations centre tool.
