The IASO Name
The company derives its name from Greek mythology, in which Iaso (daughter to Asclepius, the God of Medicine) was the goddess of recovery. IASO's company philosophy sees backup as simply the means to an end; the recovery from data loss. Hence, the reference to this ancient Greek goddess.
