Acxiom(R), EMC Partner to Deliver Secure, On-Demand Data Recovery Technology

Business Wire
Today�s information intensive business environment demands the use
of effective technology strategies, especially when it comes to
disaster recovery, security, and the increasing reality of data
proliferation. In an effort to provide clients with the ability to
remotely protect data residing on their desktop computers and
laptops, Acxiom� Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM) today announced a new
partnership with EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the world leader in
information infrastructure solutions. Acxiom Online Backup-X is
based on EMC�s Mozy remote backup service and enables Acxiom
clients and prospects to store and recover files on-demand from
their desktop, saving thousands of dollars in expenses and
countless hours of recovery time. �Traditionally, businesses have
had limited backup options, except for local methods including
tape, disk, DVD or external hard drives. Most enterprise-class data
protection solutions are too expensive and complex for the average
SMB,� said Jodi Goglin, Acxiom Center of Excellence Leader for
server and storage. �Today, businesses are looking for data
protection solutions that are low cost, quick to deploy, secure and
offer users the ability to access data quickly in the event of
loss. This solution will fulfill all of those needs.� According to
the National Archives & Records Administration in Washington,
D.C., 93 percent of companies that lost their data center for 10
days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year
of the disaster. Of those companies, 50 percent filed for
bankruptcy immediately. Additionally, a Price Waterhouse Coopers
survey calculated that a single incident of data loss costs
businesses an average of $10,000. �Today�s announcement reinforces
Acxiom�s commitment to delivering the most secure, cost-effective
computing environments possible,� said Acxiom Senior Vice President
Marty Sunde. �EMC�s technology and online delivery model is a
perfect fit for customers seeking a cost effective approach to
backup and recovery of their digital information.� EMC currently
provides backup services through the Mozy product offering to more
than 750,000 total users, including 20,000 businesses across the
world. Mozy provides consumers with online backup services for PC,
Mac, and Windows servers. Mozy features include a private key
encryption option, incremental backups, Web-based restore options
and file versioning. �For nearly 40 years, Acxiom has been helping
organizations maximize the value of their information,� said Vance
Checketts, Mozy�s Chief Operating Officer. �Knowing that the safety
of their customers� data is of the utmost importance, we look
forward to providing Mozy�s simple, automatic and secure online
backup service for Acxiom customers.� About Acxiom Corporation At
