SteelEye Technology was founded in December 1999 by Jim Fitzgerald, Sue Ellery and Jim Mason. The company acquired the LifeKeeper high-availability clustering software from NCR Corporation that year, and began targeting the fledgling Linux server community with the product in January 2000.[2]
AT&T’s Bell Labs created the LifeKeeper platform in the mid-1990s for high-availability of AT&T's Star Unix servers that operated the telecom company's phone switching technology. NCR took control of the LifeKeeper portfolio when AT&T spun off the company in 1997.[2]
