KVS We are pleased to announce that VERITAS Software Corporation (Nasdaq: VRTS) has acquired KVault Software Limited (KVS), an FTVentures portfolio company and the worldwide leader in email archiving software, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately US$225 million. VERITAS has announced its intention to operate KVS as a separate unit under KVS’ existing management team.

Guided by input from our limited partner institutions, we recognized an urgent need for cost-effective and efficient email archival and retrieval solutions. We further identified KVS as the leader in this segment which led us to our subsequent investment in KVS just over one year ago. We believe that KVS is a natural fit for VERITAS, a leader in storage software, making this an exciting deal for both companies and their customers.
