Decho More than Doubles Number of Mozy Legal Customers


Cost Savings, Security Benefits and Growth in Electronically-Stored Information Drives Law Firms to Adopt Mozy

SEATTLE, Wash. – Thursday May 28, 2009 - Decho Corporation, an EMC Company (NYSE: EMC), today announced the number of legal organizations backing up client and business data with MozyPro® has more than doubled from the previous year. As the most trusted online backup solution for consumers, legal professionals and businesses, MozyPro is secure, budget-friendly and requires minimal resources to manage. The addition of Mozy™ to the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Member Advantage program in August 2008 has also been instrumental in driving this growth and creating awareness among law firms around the need to conduct a regular legal backup.

In a time of tight IT budgets, law firms are looking for solutions that help lower costs and improve operating efficiencies. At the same time, these firms are perpetually working to preserve and protect electronically-stored information – like case files and client information – a consideration that has become all the more important due to legal retention requirements included the 2006 amendment to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Law Firms Deploy MozyPro With Minimal Upfront Costs

Joseph Booth, a long-time member and contributor to the American Bar Association, was able to meet these challenges by using MozyPro. Booth realized a 92 percent savings in backup costs by choosing MozyPro over an on-premise backup solution when he founded his own law firm, The Law Offices of Joseph W. Booth, in January 2009.

“When I opened my business earlier this year in the middle of the global economic storm, I had to be smart about my investments,” he said. “Mozy is easy to use, affordable, and provides me peace of mind in knowing that the information critical to my business is safe, secure and accessible—no matter what.”

MozyPro Preserves Law Firms’ Data in the Cloud

Online backup stands out as a secure, cost-effective way to back up digital information off-site, which keeps records intact in the event of a theft, loss, virus or hardware malfunction. MozyPro not only protects files from disasters and hardware failures but also incorporates the most advanced encryption methods to secure files from corruption or unauthorized access. Military-grade AES encryption protects data during storage while 128-bit SSL encryption protects files during transport.

“Legal firms depend heavily on an ever-growing body of digital information in the form of email, case files and client information,” said Dave Robinson, vice president of Mozy marketing at Decho Corp. “Our growth in the legal industry is evidence of the need to protect this critical information from disaster as well as demand for backup solutions that are secure, reliable, budget-friendly and easy-to-use.”

MozyPro also provides peace of mind to IT directors who struggle with the challenge of backup for traveling attorneys. In 2008, David Roden, the director of technology for Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann, was forced to catch a red-eye flight to assist a senior partner who could not get his computer to start two days before the trial date. Although the files were recovered, Roden found MozyPro and started using it to back up the company’s traveling attorneys.

“MozyPro’s low cost and ease of use allow our attorneys to provide great service to our clients in an extremely efficient and cost-effective manner,” Roden said. “With MozyPro, we know that our attorneys are protected no matter what time zone they happen to be in today.”

Mozy, the most trusted online backup solution for consumers and businesses, serves more than 30,000 business customers and more than 1 million users.

Decho Doubles Number of Mozy Healthcare Customers


Cost Savings, Compliance and Protection of Patient Information Drives Healthcare Organizations to Adopt Mozy

SEATTLE, Wash. – Thursday May 7, 2009 - Decho Corporation, an EMC Company (NYSE: EMC), today announced the number of healthcare organizations using its industry-leading MozyPro® online back up solution to protect patient information has more than doubled in the past year. Mozy™ is the most trusted online backup solution for consumers and businesses.

Digitization of health records has become a top priority for healthcare organizations, driven by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act that made electronic health care records (EHRs) a federal government priority. As a result, online capabilities can be leveraged to back up Protected Health Information (PHI) at ambulatory care and physician care practices to leverage upcoming reimbursement funding coming as part of stimulus initiatives. Thousands of health care organizations—including nationwide ambulatory surgery centers, medical, and dental offices—use MozyPro to securely back up digitized files over the internet to an off-site location, helping to drastically reduce the cost of backing up patient data.

Physicians Endoscopy, a nationally recognized healthcare development and management company that operates 17 freestanding ambulatory surgery centers across the U.S., realized a 90 percent savings in backup costs and greater confidence that their records and important documents are secure and available in the event of a disaster. “My team manages IT operations for remote facilities that house important patient and business documents,” said Gene Goroschko, vice president of information systems at Physicians Endoscopy. “The reasonable price and ease of use of MozyPro has not only helped us cut our backup times in half, we’ve actually been able to extend our emergency recovery plan to include other aspects of our business that will help keep us going in the event of a hardware failure.”

Dr. Wayne T. Faber of Tenafly Dental Associates in Tenafly, New Jersey realized a 97 percent backup cost savings for his paper-free office after switching to MozyPro. “This is a major initiative that will make patient records safer and enable them to be transferred more easily,” Dr. Faber said. “MozyPro makes it easier for us to ensure that our medical records are accurate, accessible and indestructible."

MozyPro is a simple, automatic and secure solution for healthcare organizations to back up patient X-rays, account information and other health records, ensuring the protection of vital information in the event of theft, disaster or hardware failure. MozyPro is an especially cost-effective solution for healthcare providers within the small to medium size business market looking to ensure compliance and protection of patient data. In addition, online backup helps organizations enable compliance with HIPAA requirements for encrypted copies of files kept in a secure off-site location. Mozy’s military-grade encryption and world-class data centers help Mozy customers have confidence that their PHI is safe and secure.

“Healthcare organizations are accumulating unprecedented amounts of digital information that require a new approach to the management and protection of information,” said Dave Robinson, vice president of Mozy marketing at Decho Corp. “Now more than ever, healthcare organizations are searching for secure yet affordable ways to back up patient information. Our rapid growth in this sector reflects our unique ability to reduce backup costs while securely protecting vital patient information against catastrophic data loss.”

Further information about how Mozy protects the valuable digital files of healthcare providers while reducing backup costs can be found at www.mozy.com/healthcare. Mozy, the most trusted online backup solution for consumers and businesses, serves more than 30,000 business customers and more than 1 million users.

American Red Cross and United Way use Decho's Mozy Online Backup to Protect Donor Records and Account Information, Save Money


Decho Reports Triple-Digit Customer Growth in Mozy Online Backup Among Non-Profits

SEATTLE, Washington – Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - Decho Corporation, an EMC Company (NYSE: EMC), today announced that the customer adoption for its Mozy™ online backup service to non-profits has nearly tripled over the past year, a reflection of its continued leadership in the online backup market. Chapters from nationally recognized non-profit organizations, such as the United Way of the National Capital Area and the Red Cross of Nashville, Tennessee use MozyPro® to cut IT costs associated with backup and improve overall protection against hard drive crashes, thefts and disasters.

“We use Mozy as a disaster recovery solution because it makes sense to have our critical information stored offsite and far away from the office,” said Derrick Brown, Senior Systems Administrator for United Way of The National Capital Area. “Compared to the solution we used previously, MozyPro saves us 75 percent on our backup costs while increasing our administrative control.”

Non-profit organizations have long understood the need to back up their donation records, account information and other important documentation. They understand that hard drives fail and recognize that at any moment they can lose important information if they are not consistently backing up. However, non-profits often have not been able to afford a commercial-grade solution, and have been left without a sophisticated backup option. Even those non-profits who have been able to afford on-site backup solutions remain vulnerable to data loss from disasters and theft.

“Decho’s MozyPro online backup solution is simple and cost effective,” said Daniel Royer, MozyPro Marketing Manager at Decho Corp. “It allows non-profits the ability to focus more on what is most important to them – their causes.”

Today Decho launched a new Web page dedicated to non-profit organizations, which includes a discount to the Mozy service and several case studies describing how other non-profit organizations use online backup. The page can be viewed at www.mozy.com/non-profit.

Decho’s Mozy service leads the market in online backup for consumers and businesses. It has more than 900,000 users and 30,000 business customers. Collectively, Mozy customers back up more than 10 petabytes of data to Decho’s world-class data centers, which equates to more than 500 trillion pages of text.

Kodesh will be responsible for the growth and development of EMC's global cloud infrastructure products and solutions and for the expansion of the business' partner eco-system. Kodesh will also serve as the CEO of Decho, the recently-created EMC subsidiary focused on personal information management in the "cloud." Decho (short for "digital echo") helps individuals protect, manage and enrich the ever-growing quantity of personal digital information. As a member of EMC's executive management team, Kodesh will report to Joe Tucci, EMC Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"We believe EMC is among the rare few to possess the foundational technologies, vision and fiscal strength required to succeed as a leading cloud infrastructure and services provider," said Tucci. "Harel's depth of industry and business management experience, combined with his extensive expertise designing and developing enterprise and consumer-class information management products will serve as tremendous asset to customers and shareholders as we embark into our next phase of technology innovation. We're very fortunate to have an executive of Harel's caliber join the EMC management team."

"This is a remarkable time in the history of computing. Individual consumers and businesses are faced with managing and benefiting from what feels like an open flood of digital information," said Kodesh. "This has resulted in a wave of demand for cloud-based infrastructure and service offerings that deliver easy and full utilization, protection, organization and enrichment of important personal and business information. I have been impressed with the broad and deep talent and resources that EMC has already marshaled in this space, and I'm looking forward to helping EMC enhance its lead in this market."

Kodesh, 50, previously served as Chief Product Officer at Amdocs, Inc., a leading provider of software and services to the communications industry, where he was responsiblefor the research and development of the company's global product strategy, development programs, architectures and applications. Prior to Amdocs, Kodesh held a variety of executive positions at Microsoft, including Vice President of the Information Appliance Division. At Microsoft, he founded the Windows CE operating system and led the development and marketing of this operating system and a wide range of products based on this technology. Kodesh also served as President and CEO of Wingcast, Inc, a company formed by Qualcomm and Ford Motor Company to provide services for sending, receiving and storing information via telecommunication devices to the automotive industry. Kodesh earned a master's in electrical engineering and bachelor's in computer engineering from the Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel.

In November, EMC combined two formerly separate EMC businesses - Mozy, Inc. and Pi Corp - to form Decho, a company that helps individuals protect, manage and enrich the ever-growing quantity of personal digital information in their lives. Also last month, EMC introduced the EMC Atmos cloud storage infrastructure solution, which enables Web 2.0 and Internet providers, telecommunications, media and entertainment companies to securely build and deliver cloud-based information-centric services and applications at massive scale by providing the capabilities of centralized management and automated placement of information globally.



Decho Announces General Availabiliy of MozyPro Online Backup for Mac-powered Businesses


Hundreds of businesses, including Ogilvy and Mather, have already adopted MozyPro for Mac

SEATTLE, Washington - December 11, 2008 - Decho Corporation, an EMC Company (NYSE: EMC), today announced the general availability of the MozyPro® for Mac online backup service. Tailored for businesses using Mac desktops, notebooks and servers, MozyPro for Mac provides simple, automatic and secure online backup of critical business information, protecting against hard drive failure, computer loss or theft and natural disaster.

"We run a large number of Macs, and needed a business-caliber solution that was easy to deploy and cost-effective," said Jeffrey Bonacci, senior creative systems engineer at Ogilvy and Mather. "Now, more than ever, we need to know that our intellectual assets are not vulnerable to theft, failure or disaster. We cannot afford to lose information on any one of our employee’s Macs. MozyPro gives us peace of mind, knowing that the information crucial to our business is protected."

MozyPro for Mac builds on the highly successful MozyHome® for Mac service released earlier this year and underscores the company’s strong commitment to the fast-growing Mac market. The number of customers using Mozy™ on a Mac has grown by 65 percent in the last six months and the company is optimistic about seeing similar success among Mac-powered businesses. In fact, analyst Charlie Wolf of Needham Co. has noted that Apple tripled its share of the small business market earlier this year between the second and third quarters.

MozyPro for Mac helps Mac-powered businesses protect their critical information assets. According to the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, D.C., 93 percent of companies that lost their data for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster.

"Our business customers value MozyPro for Mac because it was built by Mac engineers for Mac end-users and includes the features business customers require,” said Vance Checketts, chief operating officer at Decho Corp. “One key differentiator from MozyHome is that MozyPro for Mac provides a single administrative web-based dashboard to manage backup and restores across multiple operating systems."

EMC Forms Decho Corporation to Address the Growing Personal Information Challenge


Mozy and Pi Join Forces to Protect, Manage and Enrich Personal Information in the “Cloud”

SEATTLE, Washington – November 17, 2008 – EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today established Decho Corporation (www.decho.com ), a new company focused on helping people protect, manage and enrich the ever-growing quantity of personal digital information in their lives, also known as an individual’s “digital echo.”   Decho will be a combination of two formerly separate EMC businesses – Mozy, Inc. and Pi Corp. Decho will continue to offer consumers and businesses the top-rated Mozy-branded online backup service (mozy.com), as well as introduce new cloud-based services for individuals over time.

The personal information once stored in albums, boxes and filing cabinets—such as financial records, personal documents, family photos and videos, portfolios of professional work, and correspondence—comprises each person’s digital echo.  This information is increasingly scattered across different computers, digital devices and web sites.   The quantity of personal digital information produced every year around the world is now measured in the hundreds of billions of gigabytes and is expected to continue to grow annually by almost 60 percent, according to analysts.  Moreover, the lifespan of this information is beginning to be measured in decades, and it is ever more valuable and often irreplaceable.  

The shift of personal information from physical to digital has not yet been accompanied by a parallel shift in the way this information is organized and preserved in digital form.  Decho will help individuals take full control of their digital echo through a set of cloud-based services that will enable easy and full utilization, organization and enrichment of important personal information.

“There is an immense, untapped business opportunity as personal information management inevitably migrates into the cloud,” said David Goulden, EMC Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  “By bringing Mozy and Pi together to form Decho as a new subsidiary, we are creating a focused organization that can deliver on the promise of cloud-based personal information management and can help individuals everywhere preserve, manage and enrich the information most important to them.”

Decho’s initial service offering is the Mozy online backup service, the leading online backup service for both consumers and businesses.  With over 900,000 users and over 25,000 business customers, Mozy safeguards over 10 petabytes (over ten million gigabytes) of customer information at its datacenters around the world.  Mozy online back up offers the most comprehensive online backup solution on the market, and offers simple, automatic and secure online backup for both consumers and businesses, with support for laptops, desktops and servers running either Mac OS X or Windows.

Decho is wholly owned by EMC, which acquired Mozy, Inc. in October 2007 and Pi Corp. in February 2008.  Pi was originally founded by Paul Maritz, who was named CEO of VMware earlier this year.  The new company will maintain and grow its development and operations centers in Bangalore, Montreal, Seattle and Utah.  The company will be headquartered in Seattle.

Mozy Delivers First Online Backup Service for Mac-powered Businesses


Mozy Extends its Commitment to the Apple Community with MozyPro for Mac

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – October 7, 2008 – Mozy, Inc., an EMC Company (NYSE: EMC) and the leader in online backup for consumers and businesses, today announced the first online backup service designed for Mac-powered businesses. MozyPro® for Mac extends the award-winning Mozy™ online backup service to the growing numbers of businesses using Apple Mac desktops, laptops and servers. Mozy provides simple, automatic and secure backup of critical information at a remote location, protecting against hard drive failure, computer loss or theft and natural disaster.

MozyPro for Mac builds upon MozyHome® for Mac, the industry’s first online backup service designed for Mac users. MozyPro now allows businesses using either OS X or Windows to back up all their desktops, laptops and servers and manage backup and restore processes from a single, Web-based administration console. MozyPro also provides 24x7 phone support, network drive support and support for popular server applications such as iCal Server, Mail Services and Directory on OS X Server and Exchange, SQL Server and Active Directory on Windows Server.

"Starting today, businesses with Macs can back up online with Mozy. MozyPro makes it easy for businesses using OS X as well as Windows to manage backups of all their computers from a single place," said Vance Checketts, chief operating officer of Mozy. "Since our release of MozyHome for Mac in May of this year, thousands of Mac-powered businesses have contacted Mozy asking for an online backup service, and we’re delighted to make MozyPro for Mac available to them."

MozyPro for Mac serves a rapidly expanding market. Small businesses are increasingly using Macs to power their business. In its most recent quarter, Apple reports that Mac shipments surged 41 percent more than a year ago, driven in part by the creative industry, the education market and small businesses (SMBs). Because information is so critical to these businesses, they have a strong need to back up and protect their critical intellectual assets. According to the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, D.C., 93 percent of companies that lost their data for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. Of those companies, 50 percent filed for bankruptcy immediately.

"Mozy has given us peace of mind as it’s been backing up the critical information on our servers." said Dustin Stone, director of information systems at the Wisconsin Credit Union League. "Since our office uses both PCs and Macs, we look forward to extending this peace of mind to all our computers, and MozyPro for Mac will now complete our backup strategy."

"The University of San Francisco has been waiting for an online backup service that would support Mac computers, as many of our faculty and staff do their day-to-day work on Macs," said Walter Petruska, information security officer at the University of San Francisco. "We have put the MozyPro for Mac service through our testing environment and are ready to deploy it across the university."

"Mozy provides reliability and certainty for the users that spend most of their days, weeks and months on the road. Before I used to have them back themselves up onto external drives but now I can monitor that their data is safely and automatically backed up wherever they are through MozyPro's dashboard," said Anoush d’Orville of ECAD Consulting, a Mac consulting, support and solutions company out of New York City. "This really is the perfect solution for all businesses who require a cost-effective, reliable and scalable solution for backups."

American Bar Association selects EMC's Mozy to Join the ABA New Member Benefit Advantage Program as Online Backup Provider


New Program Targets Small- to Medium-sized Law Firms

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – August 6, 2008 – Mozy, Inc., an EMC Company (NYSE:EMC) and the leader in online backup for businesses and consumers, today announced an agreement with the American Bar Association to launch a new ABA member program designed to ease the challenges associated with backing up vital information. Through the ABA Member Advantage Program, the ABA is making available to its members special pricing if they choose the Mozy™ service as their firm's online backup provider.

"The American Bar Association sets the standards of excellence for the legal community, and we’re honored to be a provider of online backup for their members," said Vance Checketts, chief operating officer of Mozy Inc., an EMC Company. "Mozy understands the needs of legal firms and reliably backs up critical data for thousands of lawyers today."

IT staff at legal firms face many challenges, but case file and message retention - and data protection in general - are amongst the biggest of their headaches. Information loss can threaten a firm's existence, yet even the biggest investments in on-site backup can't protect against loss from natural disasters, theft, and user error.

In the past six months, Mozy’s law firm customer base has grown 200 percent. The service is growing in popularity because it automatically protects digital information, including case files, spreadsheets, e-mail and financial documents, from data loss in the event of a hard drive crash, accidental deletion, natural disaster or theft. All files are encrypted first on the user’s machine and then securely transferred to Mozy’s remote data centers via the same encryption methods used for online banking.

Mozy is the leader in online data backup for consumers and businesses. With more than 750,000 users and 20,000 business customers, Mozy offers a simple, automatic and secure service for backing up data over the Internet.

Mozy Release For Mac Sets Industry Standard For Unlimited Online Backup


First Full-Featured Unlimited Online Backup Service for Apple OS X; MozyHome for Mac Immediately Available at $4.95 Per Month

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Thursday, May 1, 2008 – Mozy, Inc., part of the Cloud Infrastructure and Services Division of EMC (NYSE:EMC), today announced the release of MozyHome for Mac, the industry's first unlimited online backup service for the Mac. Mac users in the home can now safely and cost-effectively back up all of their digital information over the Internet. With more than 700,000 total users worldwide and 6.2 billion files backed up, Mozy is the leading online backup service of choice for consumers and small businesses.

"Mozy is honoring its roots by augmenting its service to consumers and small businesses," said Vance Checketts, chief operating officer for Mozy. "We've had more than 43,000 individuals participate in our public beta and have devoted thousands of hours of development to this new MozyHome for Mac release."

Designed as a consumer service, MozyHome for Mac offers 2 gigabytes of online backup absolutely free with no expiration date, or $4.95 a month for unlimited online backup capacity. Mozy automatically protects all computer files including photos, music, videos and financial documents from data loss in the event of hard drive crash, accidental deletion, natural disaster or theft. All files are encrypted with 448-bit Blowfish encryption and the encrypted files are transferred via a 128-bit SSL connection – the same encryption used for online banking – during the backup process for extra security. After the initial backup, Mozy only backs up incremental changes to files and folders, meaning subsequent backups run extremely fast. In addition to the most recent backup, Mozy keeps 30 days worth of file versions as well. In the event of data loss, files may be recovered via the Mozy client software, downloaded from the Mozy website, or by ordering the files on a set of DVDs from Mozy.

"I had just completed my transition from Tiger to Leopard when my hard drive crashed," said Donald Malm who participated in the MozyHome for Mac beta. "The restore of all my data from Mozy was completed without a single error. My Quicken data was exactly where I had left off the day before the crash. Never have I made a better purchasing decision since I started in the insurance and financial system design industry 52 years ago."

Later this summer, Mozy will release a business version of its Mac service to enhance its MozyPro and MozyEnterprise offerings. More than 20,000 business customers already trust Mozy to back up their data, and Mozy is currently backing up more than 7.5 petabytes, the equivalent to 7.8 million gigabytes, across multiple data centers. Businesses interested in an online backup service for the Mac can sign up to be notified at http://www.mozy.com/mac/probeta

With the addition of the MozyHome for Mac service, EMC offers Mac users the industry's most robust backup and recovery options. Other data protection offerings for Mac users include EMC Retrospect for Macintosh and EMC LifeLine software.

First Unlimited Online Backup for the Mac

  • Berkeley Data Systems launches Mac Mozy Beta
  • Unlimited Backup for $4.95 a month

SALT LAKE CITY — Thursday, April 26, 2007 — Berkeley Data Systems releases Mac Mozy public beta — the first unlimited online backup service for Mac users worldwide. At $4.95 a month, the service allows millions of Mac users to encrypt and automatically back up all of their digital media content online, including collections from iTunes and iPhoto.

"The public beta was built by Mac engineers who understand the needs of the Mac community," says Josh Coates, founder and CEO of Berkeley Data. "With more than 1,000 participants in our limited beta, we're excited to be the first to embrace the Mac community with this unlimited online backup service."

Designed as a consumer service, Mac Mozy leverages Apple's innovative Spotlight Search technology, allowing users to easily select the types of files they want to back up. The service installs quickly and runs quietly in the background. Backup speeds vary from user to user, largely determined by the upload speed of the consumer's internet connection.

Mac Mozy offers an added measure of privacy by allowing its users to choose between a Mozy encryption key and a private encryption key. Incremental backups and block level differentials are included, which means subsequent backups complete at a much faster rate than the initial backup. Mozy's servers also retain the most recent version of a file as well as 30 days worth of previously modified file versions. Customers may retrieve files or versions of the files via the internet or by requesting a DVD restore with next-day delivery.*

Berkeley Data Systems is the creator of Mac Mozy and Mozy for Windows. Since the launch of Mozy for Windows in April 2006, the company has scaled to more than 180,000 customers. It now offers online backup to consumers and businesses from the small offices to the large enterprises. Berkeley Data is the industry leader in online backup with the first unlimited online backup service for the Mac.

About Berkeley Data Systems

Berkeley Data Systems is an emerging software technology company that specializes in data protection. In 2006 Berkeley Data released the Mozy Online Backup service to home users; and in 2007, Berkeley Data released MozyPro to businesses and resellers. Today the company has more than 180,000 total customers worldwide.

Berkeley Data Systems Announces MozyPro

  • More than 2,500 remote backup business customers in 90 days

SALT LAKE CITY — Tuesday, April 3, 2007 — Berkeley Data Systems today announced the general availability of the MozyPro remote backup solution, and its initial customers include more than 2,500 businesses. The new professional remote backup service has the simplicity and ease of use that is synonymous with Berkeley Data's consumer online backup service, Mozy; but MozyPro has the enterprise features, power, support and scalability that businesses demand.

"We've changed the economics and usability of enterprise backup with our proprietary software technology," said Josh Coates, founder and CEO of Berkeley Data Systems. "We quietly opened MozyPro for business in December; and in just the last three months, we've had more than 2,500 businesses sign up for the service."

Until now, businesses have had no other option except to use local backup methods including tape, disk, DVD or external hard drives; and traditional enterprise class disaster recovery solutions are expensive and complex. Today, more businesses are looking for a secure off-site backup solution because of government regulations, such as HIPAA.

Berkeley Data meets a pressing market need with MozyPro, a remote backup solution with easy to use enterprise quality features at dramatically reduced prices. The service provides a multi-tenant administrative console that includes reporting and configuration tools to simplify deployment and centralize management. Bandwidth throttling and near continuous data protection allow backups to take place quietly in the background. Military grade encryption ensures the data is protected before it's sent to Berkeley Data's world class data center. Many other remote backup solutions are 10 times more expensive than MozyPro.

Berkeley Data is the leader in simple and safe remote backup for enterprises, businesses, resellers and consumers. The company today has more than 170,000 customers backed up to its petabyte storage cluster. Resellers and service providers may contact Berkeley Data directly for information on its reseller and business development opportunities.

SALT LAKE CITY — Thursday, Dec. 14, 2006 — Berkeley Data Systems, creators of Mozy online backup (www.mozy.com), today announced the release of Mozy Unlimited Backup. For $4.95 a month, users may now back up unlimited amounts of data and have access to an unlimited number of restores. Users may choose month-to-month or annual plans, and Mozy will continue to offer consumers 2 GB of automatic online backup for free.

"Since announcing our beta in April, we've grown to more than 100,000 users." said Josh Coates, founder and CEO of Berkeley Data Systems. "The goal of Mozy is to be super simple for mainstream users but also offer power users advanced functionality. Mozy has always been free, automatic, and secure; and now for $4.95 a month, it's unlimited."

Mozy Unlimited Backup also includes a major overhaul to its previous restore process. Users can now conduct unlimited restores within Windows Explorer simply by right-clicking on a file or folder. Users on the road can access and restore their data via the Mozy website.

Mozy now also offers consumers the option to order a copy of their data on DVD, shipped next-day air via FedEx. Other important features include private key encryption, custom backup scheduling, continuous backup options, bandwidth throttling, block level incremental backups, 30-day file version archives, support for files larger than 2 GB, single instance storage and automatic Microsoft Outlook file detection and backup.

David Guggenheim of Washington D.C. was concerned about the security of his daughter's documents and pictures that were stored on her personal laptop. He had reminded her time and again about the importance of regular backups. One day when she called home from school in Montreal, Canada to tell him her laptop had been stolen.

"I was just grateful my daughter had been regularly backing up her computer documents," Guggenheim said. "Our family travels extensively, and I travel frequently overseas. Since Mozy works from anywhere we can connect to the Internet, I can back up automatically just about anywhere in the world."

Berkeley Data Systems has conducted more than 2.5 million backups in the past month alone. Currently, it has more than 450 million files stored in its high security center. Mozy is the only online backup solution in the world that offers both 2 GB for free and unlimited backup capacity for $4.95 a month.

Josh Coates of Berkeley Data Systems Addresses the Issue: "Can Google Be Stopped?"

  • Founder and CEO presents with Microsoft and Google at Telecosm Conference Panel

SALT LAKE CITY — October 3, 2006 — Josh Coates, founder and CEO of Berkeley Data Systems (www.mozy.com), will speak with Microsoft and Google representatives at the 2006 Gilder/Forbes Telecosm conference in Lake Tahoe Thursday, Oct.5 regarding the topic, "Storewidth Cyberplexes: Can Google Be Stopped?" The session will be moderated by George Gilder and aims to answer the question, "Are massively parallel, shared-memory computer farms destined to rule the Net?"

"Google is the clear leader in search innovation, but I think the field is open when it comes to mass Internet storage systems," Coates said. "At Berkeley Data Systems, we're solely focused on the petabyte storage problem and have innovated beyond simple mirror-based systems."

A technologist whose entire career has been dedicated to building large scale storage systems, Coates is an expert in petabyte storage technology. Soon after graduation from the University of California, Berkeley, Coates founded Scale8 in 1999, which became the world's largest online storage system at the time. Later he assisted Brewster Kahle at the Internet Archive in its mission to archive all human knowledge in building out their petabyte data center. In 2005, he founded Berkeley Data Systems and in April 2006 disrupted the backup industry by launching Mozy — the first free, automatic and secure remote backup service in the world.

"Josh Coates is a storage entrepreneur and creator of a unique cure for conventional accessibility and storage management headaches," said Gilder. "We have invited him to join us at Telecosm 2006 to share his ideas on the growing storage clustering and petabyte technology challenge."

Celebrating its 10th year, Gilder/Forbes Telecosm 2006 will celebrate the heroic and triumphant ascent of technology and the entrepreneurial singularities of the past ten years, and it will attempt to envisage the crucial telecosmic breakthroughs of the next decade to come.

BERKELEY DATA SYSTEMS LAUNCHES MOZY.COM, THE WORLD'S FIRST FREE, SECURE REMOTE BACKUP SERVICE

  • Broadband Users Can Protect Critical Data Easily and Securely Over the Internet

APRIL 4, 2006 — Salt Lake City — Berkeley Data Systems launches free, secure remote backup at Mozy.com, an automatic remote backup service for any PC in any home or office. Users can access their encrypted data from any computer in the world with Internet access. Mozy offers a free alternative to external hard drives, expensive subscription services, or the complications involved with burning CDs or DVDs to the over 65 million home broadband users in the US*. Mozy software and two gigabytes (GB) of backup capacity are immediately available at www.mozy.com. Mozy software is simple to install, configure and contains no adware or spyware.

"At some point, everyone goes through the heartache of data loss — either through a hard drive crash, an accidental deletion, a theft, a flood or a fire. The obvious solution is automatic remote backup. The problem is that backup is complex and expensive. We wanted to make remote backup simple and free, so we built Mozy," explains Josh Coates, founder of Berkeley Data Systems. "Mozy is designed to provide truly automated, secure backup to users without requiring training, investment, or regimented routines. Mozy is simple, secure and free — plus it allows users to encrypt data with their own private key, which means it's Dick Cheney proof."

Secure, Automatic Remote Backup

Mozy has a number of qualities that make it superior to alternative backup methods:

  • Simple: Mozy can be set to automatically back up photos, email, contacts, financial records, and office documents. Users simply need to check the box, and Mozy figures out what needs to be backed up. Advanced settings are also available to users to customize backup sets by file type, size or location. Mozy also provides full support for email, including Microsoft Outlook files, even if the files are open and in use. Backups can be scheduled during off hours, or set to run automatically in the background throughout the day. These features allow users to set it and forget it.
  • Scalable: Berkeley Data Systems has developed proprietary software that allows Mozy to handle millions of users and securely store thousands of terabytes of data. The data is stored in racks of commodity hardware running specialized software capable of storing and retrieving billions of encrypted files across thousands of disks.
  • Private and Secure: Users can opt to have their data automatically encrypted with their own private 448-bit symmetric key on their PC before transferring them to the Mozy servers. The data is encoded by 448-bit Blowfish encryption and then transferred to Berkeley Data Systems' data centers using 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. The full Berkeley Data Systems privacy policy is available for review at www.mozy.com/mozy/privacy.
  • Economical: Mozy is provided free-of-charge to consumers thanks to sponsored newsletters to users once a week. Users who wish to opt out of the sponsored newsletter can upgrade to Mozy Premium, which for a limited time is offered for just $19.95 for a year of service (that's less than $2 per month), and comes with 5 GB of backup capacity. This price is about 10 times less than traditional online backup companies.
