Celebrate 40 Years of Software Pursuits

In November 1975, $20,000 of capital was raised to form Software Pursuits and launch its first product - the DOS/MVT Operating System. From 15 customers in 1977 running DOS/MVT to the current day, Software Pursuits has strived to provide our customers with innovative software products with a level of service we ourselves would want as customers.

Today, Software Pursuits flagship software, the SureSync Data Protection and Availability Suite is licensed to more than 10,000 customers on nearly 33,000 servers worldwide.
