Asia
Overview
Catalogic Software provides data protection solutions for both established enterprise infrastructure and modern cloud native environments. Its portfolio includes DPX, an enterprise backup and recovery platform, and CloudCasa, a Kubernetes and virtual machine backup, recovery, migration, and disaster recovery solution.
Mustard Seed worked with Catalogic Software to strengthen its business development across Asia — translating technical capabilities into market-relevant messaging, supporting partner conversations, developing sales materials, and creating a clearer path from initial interest to product evaluation.
The challenge
Asia is a significant growth opportunity for enterprise software vendors, but it cannot be approached as a single market. Some organizations continue to operate large physical, virtual, and application environments. Others are moving toward Kubernetes, hybrid cloud, OpenShift Virtualization, SUSE Virtualization, AKS, EKS, and GKE. Buying decisions are heavily influenced by local distributors, system integrators, cloud providers, hardware vendors, and managed service providers.
DPX had to be positioned for organizations seeking reliable protection for established enterprise workloads. CloudCasa needed a different message for customers adopting Kubernetes, migrating virtual machines into Kubernetes environments, or building hybrid cloud disaster recovery strategies.
The technical value was strong, but local buyers and partners needed simpler answers: Where does each product fit? Which customer problems should partners look for? How does Catalogic complement existing infrastructure vendors? How can customers test the software before making a larger commitment?
The Mustard Seed approach
Connecting two products to one data protection journey
A portfolio story around infrastructure evolution: DPX for traditional enterprise and virtual environments, CloudCasa for Kubernetes, cloud native applications, and hybrid cloud. One narrative for customers at any stage of modernization.
Building Asia-ready product messaging
Global messaging adapted to local priorities — enterprise backup reliability and infrastructure compatibility for DPX; Kubernetes backup, ransomware resilience, immutability, multi-cluster management, and DR for CloudCasa.
Supporting a partner-led growth model
Identified and engaged distributors, resellers, system integrators, cloud partners, and MSPs across the region. Framed partner conversations around business opportunities rather than product features alone.
Creating practical sales enablement
Product pitches, competitive positioning, qualifying questions, Kubernetes platform explanations, POC guidance, migration use cases, marketplace positioning, and customer-specific follow-up content.
Supporting active opportunities
Connected product capabilities to real customer requirements, prepared follow-ups, and coordinated between regional stakeholders and Catalogic's technical teams on live deals.
The impact
A clearer regional portfolio story
Traditional enterprise backup and Kubernetes/cloud native protection connected under one narrative.
More capable partners
Distributors, resellers, and MSPs equipped with practical materials to spot opportunities and explain the solutions.
Better-aligned sales conversations
Discovery grounded in local infrastructure, procurement, compliance, and deployment realities.
Reusable go-to-market assets
A foundation for future campaigns, distributor onboarding, product trials, partner events, and solution proposals.
