Carbonite Partners With WinZip

Carbonite, Inc. and WinZip Computing announced a one-year contract
under which Carbonite Online Backup service will be offered to WinZip’s
customer base.

The agreement follows a series of successful promotions
carried out between the two companies during 2007. These promotions,
which offered WinZip customers favorable terms on subscriptions to
Carbonite Online Backup, generated much interest among the WinZip
community and resulted in a boost in subscriptions for Carbonite. During
the course of 2008, WinZip customers can expect to see quarterly
promotions for Carbonite.

“WinZip customers seem to like our
relationship with Carbonite and have reacted favorably to the Carbonite
subscription offers,” said Edwin Siebesma,
President of WinZip Computing. “This
relationship has been very attractive for both companies and we’re
looking forward to even better results on our upcoming joint marketing
efforts.”

With Carbonite Online Backup, subscribers can protect all their
important files against catastrophic data loss by backing up files
quickly and easily in a secure offsite location. Using the same
encryption as banks, Carbonite offers unlimited, automatic online back
up for photos, music, emails, financial records, videos, documents and
more. The combination of Carbonite and WinZip allows for an added layer
of security on extra sensitive files by giving users the option to zip
and encrypt their files with WinZip before backing them up with
Carbonite.

“WinZip has millions of users around the world,”
David Friend, Carbonite CEO and founder said. “The
fact that Carbonite is available in 11 languages makes us a good fit for
WinZip’s very large international user base.
Also, WinZip is a superb product that has been around for many years and
earned the trust of countless users. We are flattered that WinZip would
lend the weight of their trusted brand to Carbonite, and we will not let
them down.”
