RecoverPoint
Open-knowledge reference entry
RecoverPoint is a continuous data protection product offered by Dell EMC which supports asynchronous and synchronous data replication of block-based storage. RecoverPoint was originally created by a company called Kashya, which was bought by EMC in 2006.
Description
Kashya was founded in February, 2001, originally located in Ramat Gan, Israel.
Venture funding included Battery Ventures and Jerusalem Global Ventures.
In 2003, additional operations in San Jose, California were announced along with $12 million in funding and a first product.
Kashya was acquired by EMC Corporation on May 9, 2006, for $153 million.
EMC had already announced a product named RecoverPoint in October 2005, adapted from a product called Recovery One from Mendocino Software.
The Kashya product had been named KDX 5000.
The EMC RecoverPoint product based on Kashya technology was released in 2007, and version 3.0 released in 2008.
RecoverPoint continuous data protection (CDP) tracks changes to data at a block level and journals these changes.

Why this record matters
“RecoverPoint” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, RecoverPoint, Open-knowledge and entry provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 26, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7302967. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2001, 2003 and 2005.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
