Datto Opens New Office in Rochester, NY

Datto this week announced the grand opening of a new office located in Rochester, New York, where it expects to create more than 70 jobs over the next few years.

The Norwalk, Connecticut-based data backup and disaster recovery (BDR) solutions provider said it was one of the first companies to join START-UP NY, a program designed to bring more businesses into New York, in June. The new office can be found on the fourth floor of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)-owned 40 Franklin Street in downtown Rochester, site of the historic Rochester Savings Bank.

Datto founder and CEO Austin McChord, who is also an alumni of RIT, said “It feels great to not only expand Datto to new areas, but also to give back to a city I love.

“It’s a dream come true to bring jobs to Rochester,” he said. “Thanks to Governor Cuomo’s vision for business expansion and economic development in creating START-UP NY, we’re able to do just that. RIT was also instrumental in helping support and guide us through the process and we’re thrilled to be here.”

He added: “Our goal is to be the best employer in the Rochester area. There is an unlimited, untapped technical talent in the area and I hope we start a wave of other companies moving to Rochester, driving the economy and taking advantage of the vast talent pool in the region.”
