Decho Reports Triple-Digit Growth in New Customers from Accounting and
Financial Services Markets
MozyPro helps firms save 80+ percent in backup costs

SEATTLE, July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Decho Corporation, an EMC Company (NYSE:
EMC), today announced triple-digit growth in new Mozy(TM) customers from the
accounting and financial services markets over the past 12 months. As these
firms look to protect irreplaceable business data, they're turning to
MozyPro(R), the industry's most trusted online business backup service.

"Contrary to past experience, small and medium-size business IT spending will
decline more than enterprise IT spending as small businesses bear more of the
pain from the housing sector collapse and the financial crisis," said analyst
Andrew Bartels in a May 2009 Forrester Research Inc report titled "US
Enterprises Versus SMB IT Budgets in 2009." In addition, Gartner recently
reported the loss of intellectual property or customer data was the number one
concern of North American organizations surveyed by Gartner in 2007 and 2008.

Tostevin Accountancy, an accounting, tax, fiduciary, financial planning, and
business consulting firm headquartered in Monterey, CA, had been using a tape
backup system that it found unreliable and consumed too much valuable office
space. It also needed a solution that would work automatically and support
Microsoft Exchange. Tostevin reduced its corporate backup costs by 84 percent
after they switched from a tape backup provider to MozyPro.

"Our previous solution required a significant investment upfront for both
hardware and software, plus costs associated with required maintenance," said
Dennis Forest, CPA at Tostevin Accountancy Corporation. "MozyPro's inexpensive
price and minimal management times made it the natural choice for us."

MozyPro's benefits are also being realized by banks. The State Bank of Geneva
was spending several hours per week managing on-premise data backups and
moving backup media off-site. "The simplicity of Mozy is great for a small
business," said Rick Razum, IT Director for the State Bank of Geneva.
"However, its features are so enabling and well-designed that Mozy is ideal
for larger companies as well. The quality of product for an affordable rate is
unmatched."

"In addition to the significant cost savings that can be achieved with
MozyPro, accounting and financial firms recognize Mozy's market leadership in
data protection," said Daniel Royer, MozyPro manager at Decho Corp. "These
firms can now focus on their business knowing that their important digital
information is secure."
