Vodafone Customers to be Offered Secure, Offsite Protection and Access to Their PC’s Digital Files Over Fixed and Mobile Broadband Connections

NEWBURY and SEATTLE – October 13, 2009 – Vodafone has formed a strategic partnership with Decho Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of EMC, to develop a range of cloud-based services for both business customers and consumers.

Vodafone PC Backup will enable customers to simply and securely back up work-related or personal digital content from their computer to a remotely hosted site. Once a customer has backed-up their digital content they know it is protected and that they will always be able to access it, even if their primary device is lost, stolen or otherwise unavailable.

Customers will also be able to view and share the content from their account via the web browser of a PC, laptop or netbook in the future, reducing the need to transfer content from one device to another.

Both business and consumer versions of the services will be introduced, with the former supported by a web-based management console to enable an administrator to centrally control storage allocations and policies for multiple users.

The PC Backup capabilities join Vodafone’s PC and mobile anti-virus protection in a suite which makes it simple and secure for customers to use fixed and mobile broadband services to access, organize, protect and share digital content.

Customers will be able to use Vodafone PC Backup over both fixed and mobile broadband connections via the web browser of desktop PCs, laptops, and netbooks.

The service will be introduced across a number of Vodafone’s major European markets throughout the remainder of this calendar year and builds upon the Mozy™ online backup service operated by Decho.

"Our customers are often using a range of connected devices each day, with different information and data contained on each one," said Huw Medcraft, Director of Mobile Broadband, Vodafone. "Vodafone PC Backup will enable them to centrally store this content, providing users with the added reassurance that as a Vodafone customer their files – be they critical work documents for businesses or family photographs - will be there when they need it and accessible through a variety of devices and across both fixed and mobile networks."

"The explosive growth in both business and consumer information is driving demand for new personal cloud services to help people protect, organize and enrich their most valuable information," commented Harel Kodesh, CEO of Decho Corporation. "Building on the proven Mozy online backup service will differentiate Vodafone’s services and make it easier for millions of people to access and manage the information they need to do their job or run their lives each day."

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.”

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.”
