Berkeley Data Systems Signs Global Contract with GE
Technology Startup from Small Town in Utah Takes the Lead in Remote
Backup
SALT LAKE CITY (Business Wire EON) April 24, 2007 --
Berkeley Data Systems today announced a contract to provide remote
backup services to employees of GE worldwide. The announcement of the
contract follows on the heels of the successful MozyPro launch, in which
Berkeley Data announced a new remote backup service for businesses.
Since its quiet release in December, MozyPro displaced competitors in
the market with its enterprise quality features, acquired more than
3,000 business customers, and entered into an agreement with GE.
“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. “The result is a global contract
with GE for backup service, and more than 3,000 other businesses
deployed since the first of the year.”
Measured by market capitalization, GE is currently the second largest
company in the world with more than 300,000 employees. Recently Fortune
Magazine named GE the World’s Most Admired
Company. The company produces aircraft engines, healthcare equipment,
electric distribution and control equipment, generators and turbines,
locomotive and transportation equipment.
Berkeley Data was founded in 2005 and today has more than 170,000
customers. The company is behind Mozy, the popular consumer online
backup service. In 2006, Mozy was recipient to the PC Magazine Editors’
Choice Award; and in 2007, PC World editors selected Mozy as the best
free backup service. Today Berkeley Data has expanded its service to
support businesses ranging from the small office to global enterprises
like GE.
Resellers and service providers may contact Berkeley Data directly for
information on its reseller and business development opportunities.
