Welcome to the forum Jon. We'll be sure to tap your expertise on Online Backup Services and products.

What did you think about IBM's acquisition of Arsenal last week and EMC taking out Mozy earlier on?

Novastor

I am unfamiliar with Arsenal, but the EMC acquisition of Mozy will be interesting. EMC acquired Dantz and had a tough time expanding on the customer base; though there are plans to revitalize it. Enterprise level companies have a tough time managing SMB or SOHO type backup customers. Mozy brings EMC down to a consumer level. so i am curious to see how things go. all in all Novastor hasnt been too affected by the disruptive online backup services out there.

EMC latest announcements didnt point to any new features in the product either.

Good point. It's obviously a validation that this is a hot market and big companies want a piece of the action. I'm sure NovaStor is ready for the challenge from the competition.

I read the IBM/Arsenal story on the recommended reading section here:
