Leveraging its October 2007 purchase of Berkeley Data Systems [BDS], EMC announced this week that it will offer an enterprise backup and recovery solution, MozyEnterprise, over a hosted SaaS platform for desktops, laptops, and remote servers.The service will become part of EMC's Fortress hosted services and will offer RSA-level security, a capability that was not available when the product was owned by BDS and marketed as Mozy Professional. The solution includes integrated key management, authentication and authorization security. Over time, EMC will offer other SaaS solutions, according to officials.The EMC solution will compete directly with Iron Mountain's DataDefense backup and recovery SaaS service. However, EMC lacks a key capability that Iron Mountain offers, according to Adam Couture, a principal analyst with Gartner. "DataDefense encrypts everything on the laptop," said Couture. "MozyEnterprise does not have this capability."An EMC spokesperson confirmed this, saying that data is encrypted once it leaves the laptop or desktop and is stored by EMC.The company will either have to develop the encryption capability on its own or partner with another company in order to be competitive, but the fact that GE used Mozy Professional before the acquisition and is apparently staying with the product from EMC gives EMC enterprise credibility, he added.Pricing for a desktop/laptop is $5.25 per month per desktop/laptop plus $0.70 per gigabyte protected. Windows server pricing is $9.25 per month per supported Windows server plus $2.35 per month per gigabyte protected.

(InfoWorld) - Network storage vendor EMC on Monday introduced a new data storage management product that is the fruit of three software acquisitions the company has made in recent years. EMC will launch its Infoscape intelligent information management software at an EMC user conference this week in Anaheim, California. Infoscape is designed to organize the thousands of unstructured computer files in an enterprise computer system, such as Word documents, PowerPoint Presentations, or spreadsheets. The software organizes files by their content, their importance or whether there are regulations requiring they be saved, said Rob Emsley, senior director of software product marketing, for EMC. Building such an organizational structure makes it easier to retrieve documents when they are needed. "This technology can provide a lot more information about the files in your infrastructure," said Emsley. The company also Monday launched EMC Information Management Strategy Service, a consulting service to help enterprises design, build and run an information management system. The new offerings were developed with technology EMC acquired from the acquisition of three document management software companies:Â Legato SystemsÂ andÂ Documentum, both in 2003, andÂ Smarts, in early 2005. The acquisitions are part of EMC's strategy to diversify from being primarily a storage hardware vendor. Software sales accounted for 37 percent of EMC's revenue in 2005, up from just 17 percent four or five years ago, Emsley said. With Infoscape, EMC is "taking a small but very important step," said Arun Taneja an analyst with Taneja Group. It's important because a major storage vendor is offering what he calls "information classification management software," but small because Infoscape initially can only run in an EMC Celerra storage environment. Although Infoscape is initially "closely integrated" with the Celerra DART (data access in real time) operating system, it will also work within EMC's Clariion and Symmetrix server families in the second half of 2007, said EMC spokesman Todd Cadley. Infoscape, he explained, manages the information not the storage, operating at the file system level. Therefore, it will work in heterogenous storage environments. Other major hardware makers such as IBM and Hewlett-Packard are evaluating similar solutions to the file management problem facing enterprises, said Taneja, and there are a handful of startups also developing solutions. It's possible that some of the larger companies could follow EMC's strategy and acquire some of the smaller software developers to create their own file management software products. The base Infoscape software module is $125,000 and capacity licensing starts at $9,000 per terabyte, EMC said.
