Datacastle, a market leading provider of mobile workforce data protection solutions, today announced completion of a $2 million financing. The company's latest funding round is led by CM Capital and Haag Ltd., both of Australia. The financing comes on the heels of several recently-announced agreements including relationships with Seagate i365, Systemax MISCO Germany, and Computerlinks to distribute Datacastle's endpoint backup and data protection solution – Datacastle RED.

"We are very excited about the adoption we are seeing for our Datacastle RED laptop backup and data protection software as companies seek to modernize their backup and data protection strategies," said Ron Faith, Datacastle President and CEO. " Businesses are coming to appreciate that they are one lost laptop away from having their own Wikileaks moment."

"We are enthusiastic about our investment in Datacastle and this rapidly growing market opportunity", said Mark Gill, Partner, CM Capital. "Datacastle's flexible, friction-free approach is being recognized by customers and channel partners as the best way to protect the mobile workforce from damaging data loss and data breach incidents."
