On September 7, 2016, Dell Inc. acquired EMC Corporation to form Dell Technologies, restructuring the original company as a subsidiary of Dell Technologies.[4] On March 19, 2018 Dell sold Mozy to Carbonite in a $145.8 million cash deal. Carbonite announced plans to shut the service down as an independent entity in 2019, shifting Mozy's clients to its own online backup program.

Products[edit]

Mozy produced three products: MozyHome, MozyPro, and MozyEnterprise.[7]

MozyHome was the consumer version of the Mozy backup service, bought on a monthly subscription or on various other plans. In January 2012 Mozy opened the public beta of its cloud storage / synchronization feature called Mozy Stash,[8] for free. MozyHome previously offered users an unlimited amount of storage space. In February 2011 they closed the unlimited service and began charging according to how much space was used.[9][10]

MozyPro was the business version of the Mozy backup service. Originally launched in 2007, MozyPro pricing was updated in 2012 for businesses to back up any number of computers for one price. For server backup, a business purchased the Server Pass for an additional monthly charge and backed up as many servers as they liked.[11]

MozyEnterprise was for larger organizations and included support for Active Directory, user groups (in a company), and more administrator control over user rights.[12] For Mozy administrators, the company detailed its keyless activation and pooled storage features in a 2013 EMC blog post.[13] Mozy had more than 800 enterprise customers.[14]

With all Mozy products, after the initial backup, Mozy only backed up new or changed portions of files. Backups could take place whenever the computer was not in use, either automatically or at scheduled times. All user data was encrypted locally with strong encryption prior to transfer via a 128-bit SSL connection. Users could choose a managed encryption key or a personal key for added security. Mozy's security did not let end-users shortcut the data deletion process.[15] Mozy is both SSAE 16 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified.[16]

In May 2010, Mozy launched MozyHome 2.0 and MozyPro 2.0,[17] adding support for local backup, increased performance and a new user interface for consumers and small businesses.

In December 2013, Mozy received the runner-up 'Backup and Recovery/Archive Product of the Year' and 'Cloud Storage Product of the Year' awards from SVC Awards[18] with Barracuda Message Archiver by Barracuda Networks and Cloud Disaster Recovery Service by EVault products in front.
