You all remember Josh Coates, CEO of Berkeley Data Systems/Mozy, right? Mozy is the company with the Windows program which allows you to backup your harddrive to their petabyte array all safe and securely. Truth be told, I could never get their app to work on my system, but that’s hardly significant. What is important is that EMC, the king of storage, just bought Mozy for a cozy 76 million dollars.
Mozy had raised only 1.9 million in capital, which makes their VC people (Wasatch Ventures) very, very happy.
You’ll also remember that Josh’s Mozy held the popular $20,000 dollar computer programming “death matches.”
Strong work, Josh!
* yes, I know that “mozying” is not a word; it’s “moseying”

I use Mozy on my Windows machine and have been happy with it.
If they would create a Linux client then I would be even more happy.
Perhaps EMC will work on creating a new Linux client for Mozy.
