SALT LAKE CITY, July 24 /EMWNews/ -- Mozy, Inc., an EMC Company
(NYSE: EMC) and the leader in online backup for businesses and consumers,
today announced that it has doubled the size of its enterprise and small to

more than 750,000 users and 20,000 business customers backing up 7.6
billion files to its 10-petabyte storage system. In addition, Mozy has
announced that Thrive Networks, Inc., a subsidiary of Staples, has signed a
contract with Mozy to provide online backup to its customers. This service
will also be offered to Staples' customers as Staples Network Services by
Thrive.
"Thrive Networks is very excited about our relationship with EMC, the
world leader in information infrastructure." said Jim Lippie, president of
Thrive. "We have been in search of a scalable, high quality and dynamic
online back-up solution for our clients at a compelling price point and we
finally found it with Mozy's service."
Organizations using the Mozy(TM) service range from Fortune 500
companies to small businesses in every industry, including General
Electric, Vanderbilt University, The University of Pittsburgh and thousands
of other small and medium sized businesses. Mozy also has a growing network
of 2,500 resellers and partners, including Acxiom and AmeriVault. EMC has
even integrated Mozy with Iomega(R) products to further extend the Mozy
backup capabilities.
"As online backup becomes a priority for businesses of all sizes, our
business offerings are now enjoying growth comparable to our market-leading
MozyHome(R) consumer service," said Vance Checketts, chief operating
officer for Mozy, Inc. "Customer growth in a number of market segments is
up nearly 200 percent. This kind of growth affords us the ability to scale
our operations to support future business and consumer customers who choose
us for simple, automatic, and secure online backup."
Mozy automatically protects your digital information, including photos,
music, spreadsheets and financial documents, from data loss in the event of
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 offers three services to meet the needs of consumers, small
businesses, and enterprises:
-- MozyHome -- the first unlimited online backup service for Windows
and Mac consumers
