EMC Forms Business Unit for New SaaS Offerings

Unveils Software-as-a-service Strategy and Its First Enterprise Offering, MozyEnterprise

"Our strategy is focused on bringing new software-as-a-service offerings to market, powered by EMC," said Tom Heiser, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EMC's new Software-as-a-Service Business Unit, as EMC this week today unveiled its SaaS strategy and the release of MozyEnterprise for online backup of desktops, laptops and remote Windows servers.

MozyEnterprise is powered by EMC Fortress, which Heiser described as "a secure, multi-tenant, scalable SaaS delivery platform providing customers with centralized billing, management and metering."

EMC has more than 25 years of information infrastructure management and protection market leadership, and Heiser underlined that the company has brought this continued innovation in infrastructure solutions to bear on delivering a new class of SaaS solutions designed to support the enterprise IT needs for customers of all sizes.

"MozyEnterprise automates secure online backup and recovery over the Internet for consistent and reliable off-site data protection for remote desktops, laptops and branch office servers," he noted. 

Today according to EMC more than 500,000 business and consumer users trust the Mozy technology to back up their information, including General Electric, Pariveda, NTG Systems, Vanderbilt University and Free The Children.

"Mozy provides Free The Children employees-both domestic and abroad-with easy-to-use, secure and reliable automated backup and an ability to recover data should something happen to a computer," said Aimable Mugara, IT Director, Free The Children, the world's largest network of children helping children through education, with more than one million youth involved in innovative education and development programs in 45 countries. "This solution provides our organization with a centralized and automated view of our backup operation for desktops, laptops and remote Windows servers located anywhere on the network. Mozy's business continuity solutions offer a great way to maximize uptime and provide critical data recovery while minimizing gaps in data protection."

MozyEnterprise is available through EMC's direct sales organization with the support of EMC SaaS sales specialists. Additionally, EMC will offer MozyEnterprise through reseller agreements with eFileCabinet, FusionStorm and TelX. EMC is also expanding its relationship with Verizon Business to leverage its EMC Fortress architecture and MozyEnterprise. Resellers and their customers will benefit from minimal ongoing maintenance and training requirements, customization options, and the lower total cost of ownership benefits inherent in the enterprise SaaS model.
