The new service is available on all new Lenovo ThinkPad SL series notebooks and is powered by EMC® Mozy™, the industry-leading online data backup service for consumers and businesses.

"We looked to EMC’s Mozy as the premier online data backup and storage service for Lenovo customers. We chose them specifically because of their innovation and industry leading solutions," said Henry Hicks, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Lenovo Worldwide Services. "Because data protection and security are growing concerns for businesses we wanted a world-class online data backup and storage solution to complement Lenovo’s world-class products. EMC’s Mozy delivers that with the right level of security and quality."

As small businesses around the world look for a cost-effective and easy way to protect their information, they are increasingly looking to online backup. Mozy provides a simple, automatic and secure online backup service to more than 850,000 users across the globe.

Key features of the new Lenovo Online Data Backup service include:

• Unlimited online backup capacity, which enables professionals to focus on their work without managing a data storage quota
• Open and locked file support, enabling business professionals to back up information without having to shut down any programs or interrupt workflow
• Bandwidth throttling, allowing users to control the amount of bandwidth the online data backup service consumes
• Privately managed encryption option using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

EMC is also announcing today that it has opened Mozy’s first international data center located in Dublin, Ireland to better serve Mozy and Lenovo users worldwide. The new data center will address certain government regulations pertaining to electronic data storage and encryption export restrictions.

The Lenovo Online Data Backup service is currently available in Ireland, United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, United States and Canada. The service will soon be offered on a worldwide basis for all Lenovo Think branded systems and will support seven languages.*

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.
