Mozy Online Backup goes global

EMC’s Mozy’s online backup will be expanding its operations internationally.  Mozy was acquired by EMC not too long ago with the CEO’s initial intent to gain market share by providing very affordable online backup solutions for home and business users.  Mozy claims that they have a data center currently being built in Ireland and will be fully operational by the end of the year.  Taken from The Reg:

“The data centre infrastructure underpinning Mozy is going to grow further: “Our growth plans are pretty impressive. We’ll have more data centres internationally and in the USA as well. There are logistical reasons for local centres. Very large restores can be carried out closer to the customers. Another driver is data privacy.”

We should think in terms of a global rollout of inter-connected data centres with several in Europe, the MIddle East and the Far East. The customers for these will be enterprises of all sizes; from Fortune 10 to Fortune 1,000 and beyond.”
