AmeriVault Adopts EMC Mozy

AmeriVault, a subsidiary of PHNS, and EMC Corporation announced a joint agreement to deliver a new online data backup solution, branded AmeriVault-EZ. The new service represents one of three online backup segments provided by AmeriVault that can tailor to a customer’s data protection needs with regard to compliance, redundancies, recovery objectives, and price points.

The new AmeriVault-EZ service is based on EMC’s industry-leading Mozy online backup for businesses and consumers. Available immediately, AmeriVault-EZ provides cost-effective, automated backup and offsite protection to organizations seeking to protect data residing on Microsoft Windows-based desktops, laptops, and file servers. This service will complement AmeriVault’s redundant, full-featured, backup solutions, and enable an economical option for larger enterprises.

"In our search for a technology foundation that could power AmeriVault-EZ with an affordable price structure, we found EMC’s Mozy to be the perfect fit," said Bud Stoddard, President of AmeriVault. "We needed to extend our service offerings beyond server backup to desktops and laptops, and Mozy was the clear choice given their expertise in desktop and laptop online backup services. Besides, having installed more than 250 terabytes of EMC enterprise storage over the years, we have experienced EMC’s world-class reputation for reliability first-hand."

AmeriVault is known for exceptional service throughout the industry and clients who come to AmeriVault come seeking extra care and attention. Specifically this year, AmeriVault received an unprecedented number of requests to provide an online backup service for desktops and laptops. Companies now want to protect more than just their servers, and after evaluating the options in the industry, AmeriVault chose Mozy because the company’s award-winning backup solution will enable AmeriVault to expand into new industry verticals.

Mozy specializes in providing simple, automatic and secure online backup to consumers and businesses. Fortune 500 companies and small businesses select Mozy and its partners to backup their laptops, desktops and small office servers because of its affordability and ease of use.
