Lortu is a company dedicated to the development of storage appliances based on our proprietary data deduplication technologies.

In 2003 Lortu Software began to investigate a technology which could drastically reduce the space needed for storing backups by replacing duplicated data with references. Only 6 months later we had the first prototype, which had a really spectacular compaction factor. Lortu called that technology Kondar.

Strangely enough, the data storage industry did not have a commonly accepted term to define this technology for several years. It was in the second half of 2006 when this technology began to be known as deduplication in the computer magazines.

Lortu: innovation as a way of working.

Lortu not only anticipated the solution to a future need by several years, we also followed up by innovating in both technology and marketing.

In 2006 we began to commercialize our technology as components to be integrated into other software or hardware products.

In 2007 we developed our first backup appliance, and decided to take a further step of innovation by becoming the first deduplication manufacturer in the world offering its technology as a managed backup service.

In 2010 we are taking another important step with the decision to market our new family of backup appliances (LDA) exclusively through two channels:

• As a product which is sold to the end user.
• As a managed service, without requiring a significant initial investment.

Deduplication, like other areas of technology, is constantly evolving. At Lortu we are always working to offer the most innovative solutions to our customers and partners, as a pioneer company in this field.
