If you visit the site now you will notice a brand new look featuring that great hummingbird. It is a nice refreshing look for <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/sugarsync.php' target="_blank">SugarSync</a> and I really like the favicon of the hummingbird.</p>
<p>The Windows and Mac applications have also had new menu tray icons, featuring of course, the new hummingbird. You can see examples of the new <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/sugarsync.php' target="_blank">SugarSync</a> menu tray icons below.</p>

Our <a href="http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/blog/anniversary-giveaway/" title="Anniversary Giveaway!">Anniversary giveaway</a> closed last night and the winner is&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Zakariae el Mesri</strong></p>
<p>He was pretty faithful in coming back and tweeting about the contest everyday and it was one of those tweets that was randomly selected. His prize of a year of <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> and a 1TB external hard drive have already been ordered and are on their way.</p>

The drive should be delivered by early next week. Pretty nice looking external hard drive. We liked it so much we actually ordered a couple for the office here as well.</p>

Two of the hottest online backup services, and our current number one and two picks, are <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/crashplan.php' target="_blank">CrashPlan</a>. Both companies offer online backup but beyond that they have very different philosophies on how that backup should be done.</p>
<h2><a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a></h2>
<p>For <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a>, as I have mentioned before, they simply backup everything. Instead of making the user choose what to backup the user decides what not to backup. This is great for a large majority of people, who wants to sit and think about where all their files are and what if you miss a folder that contained some important files. With <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> it is all backed up unless you tell it not to or is program files. </p>
<h2><a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/crashplan.php' target="_blank">CrashPlan</a></h2>
<p>In many ways <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/crashplan.php' target="_blank">CrashPlan</a> is the exact opposite of <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> with many options that allow a user to fine tune their backup to include exactly what they want to where they want. With the ability to choose backup destinations, add multiple computers and backup to local computers and drive <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/crashplan.php' target="_blank">CrashPlan</a> gives users lots of choice and control over their backup.</p>

<h2>Overall</h2>
<p>Both services offer excellent backup protection for people and deciding what service to use can be a difficult decision. Which service you choose really depends on whether you want ease and simplicity or total control.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> offers simplicity. It just works backing up everything. You don&#8217;t need to worry if you forgot to select that folder for backup because if you did not tell it to exclude it <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> would have backed it up. If you don&#8217;t want to spend hours checking settings, tweaking configurations and checking your backup <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> is perfect.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/crashplan.php' target="_blank">CrashPlan</a> on the other hand offers you total control over your backup. Have multiple computers in the house you can backup files between them as well as online. Backup only selected folders and files to different places plus backing them up online. <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/crashplan.php' target="_blank">CrashPlan</a> is perfect for those people that want to know exactly what is going on with their backup.</p>
<p>For people that do not want to fuss or worry about their backup <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> is perfect. For those people that have multiple computers, use Linux and/or want to control exactly how their backup is done <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/crashplan.php' target="_blank">CrashPlan</a> it perfect. In many ways comparing the two is like comparing Apples and Oranges. Both services offer backup but how they do it and who should use either one are very different. If it was possible for me to choose both as number one I would but in the end one needs to be number one and for the majority of people the ease and simplicity of <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> wins out.<br />

<a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> is one of only a few companies that offer restores via an external medium like an external hard drive. They used to offer a DVD restore option for $99 but have just removed the DVD option and in its place are not offering a restore by a 28GB USB flash drive. The best part is you can get the new flash drive restore up to 28GB for the same price that the DVD restore was.</p>
<p>The new USB flash drive restore holds the same as 7 DVD restores would have held and once you are done restoring your data you get to keep the USB flash drive. While it might cost more than downloading your data it can save a considerable amount of frustration trying to download a large restore from the Internet. The restore is shipped to you via FedEx and will have you up and running again with all of your data before you know it.</p>
<p>This is also a great way to restore if your computer has been lost in some kind of disaster. All you need to do is login to the <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/backblaze.php' target="_blank">Backblaze</a> web admin and order your restore from another computer that you have available to you. You might even get the restore before you replace your computer.</p>

I am still working on a new <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> Stash review, but thought one of the questions everyone is going to wonder is how <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> Stash compares to <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/dropbox.php' target="_blank">Dropbox</a>.</p>
<h2>Operating System Support</h2>
<p>One of the great things about <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/dropbox.php' target="_blank">Dropbox</a> is the ability to install it on Windows, Mac and Linux computers. It makes moving from computer to computer no matter what operating system they are running so. Stash currently only runs on Windows and Mac computers so there is the ability to move from Windows to Mac computers and have your files sync across those different computers. This is not a huge deal for many folks since they may only have Windows and Mac computers but for the Linux fans out there they will want to look at <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/dropbox.php' target="_blank">Dropbox</a> over Stash. According to the Stash FAQ there are plans for a Linux version but no timeline when that might be available.</p>
<p><strong>Winner: Dropbo&#120;</strong></p>
<h2>Free Account and Storage</h2>
<p>Both <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/dropbox.php' target="_blank">Dropbox</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> offer 2GB free accounts so you can try both services out for free to see which one suits you best. The difference between the <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/dropbox.php' target="_blank">Dropbox</a> 2GB free account and the <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> 2GB free account is with Dropbox you can earn extra space by referring others to the service. You can earn as much as 10GB for free from Dropbox, which makes a free Dropbox account fairly useful.</p>
<p><strong>Winner: Dropbox</strong></p>
<h2>Paid Storage</h2>
<p>If you need more space than you can get with a free account from Dropbox your options for a paid account are actually pretty expensive. Dropbox offers 50GB accounts for $9.99/month and 100GB accounts for $19.99/month. Not exactly cheap.</p>
<p>Stash shares storage from your main <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> account and the costs for a 50GB account start at $5.99/month and 125GB accounts for $9.99/month. The cost per month drops if you sign up for 1 or 2 year subscriptions. </p>
<p><strong>Winner: Stash</strong></p>
<h2>Sign Up and Installation</h2>
<p>Things need to be easy to use, there is no doubt about it. The last thing that any computer user of any experience wants is a long and complicated sign up and installation process. </p>
<p>Dropbox has a very simple sign up process, so simple in fact it is almost to easy. Once you sign up it is just a matter of downloading the desktop client and installing it. With the defaults it is pretty simple.</p>
<p>Creating a <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> account is not to difficult but does require a few extra steps, then after you have created your <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> account you need to login and download the Stash client to download. It is not a difficult process but not as seamless and easy as Dropbox unfortunately. </p>
<p><strong>Winner: Dropbox</strong></p>
<h2>Sharing</h2>
<p>Stash does not currently offer sharing, while Dropbox does. Hard to compete on this one at all. </p>
<p><strong>Winner: Dropbox</strong></p>
<h2>Number of Computers</h2>
<p>Currently Stash has a limit of 5 computers attached to an account, but you can access your Stash files via the web on as many devices as you want. </p>
<p>Dropbox does not have a limit on the number of computers attached to an account that I am aware of or could find information on. </p>
<p><strong>Winner: Dropbox</strong></p>
<h2>Encryption</h2>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> has a good record of strong encryption with its backup service. Stash is no different. <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> allows you to use your own encryption key for backup, but at this time Stash uses the default <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> encryption key. <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> uses a secure sockets layer (SSL) to transfer files and since Stash cannot use a private encryption key yet files are encrypted using 448-bit Blowfish encryption. </p>
<p>Dropbox does offer encryption but they have had problems in the past. It is common knowledge that Dropbox can view your files if they need to. Dropbox does use a secure sockets layer (SSL) to transfer files and AES-256 bit encryption to store them, but they also hold the encryption key.</p>
<p>Although both services use similar encryption the Stash has the possibility to use a private encryption key, possibly before it comes out of beta.</p>
<p><strong>Winner: Stash</strong></p>
<h2>File Sync</h2>
<p>Stash is fast, certainly faster than backing up files to <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a>. When copying files to Stash they seemed to appear in the Stash folder on other machines almost instantly. Might be because the computers were all on the same network, but the sync was quick.</p>
<p>Dropbox has always been quick at syncing files and it is a great part of using Dropbox. Stash is just as fast as Dropbox in this category and will be one to watch when it comes out of beta. </p>
<p><strong>Winner: Tie</strong></p>
<h2>Mobile Access</h2>
<p>Both Dropbox and <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> offer iOS and Android apps for accessing your files on your mobile or tablet. The Dropbox app is great for accessing your files but it has never been great at uploading files. It has gotten better but there is still no automatic upload of photos or video from your mobile to your Dropbox.</p>
<p>The <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> app allows you to access not only your Stash files but also all of the files in your <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> backup. Not to mention the app offers automatic uploads of photos and video from your mobile or tablet to your Stash account. This is similar to how <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/sugarsync.php' target="_blank">SugarSync</a> and even Google+ will upload files automatically for you.</p>
<p><strong>Winner: Stash</strong></p>
<h2>Web Access</h2>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> has had a web interface for recovering files from their backup service for many years. Stash is just another part of that web interface. It is functional and works.</p>
<p>The Dropbox web admin is an intergral part of Dropbox. You can do almost as much in the Dropbox web interface and you can with the application on your desktop including uploading files. Dropbox&#8217;s web interface just offers more at this point. Perhaps in the future Stash will be able to give the web interface more features.</p>
<p><strong>Winner: Dropbox</strong></p>
<h2>And the Winner Is?</h2>
<p><strong>Dropbox</strong></p>
<p>Overall Dropbox is still the leader in online storage and file syncronization compared to Stash. Stash shows potential, and it is an excellent offering coming from <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a>. It is perfect for existing <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> users but is perhaps lacking in some of the features that make Dropbox so popular in the file storage and syncing area, particular sharing. For syncing Stash certainly comes in at a better price than Dropbox and automatic mobile upload is a nice feature that Dropbox is still not offering. If you are looking for backup and sync the new <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> Stash and <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a>Home does make a nice combination.</p>
<p>If you are just wanting to sync files between computers, use Linux or want sharing Stash is probably not for you. Dropbox is a leader in online storage and sync for a reason, it works well across all the operating systems. It is easy, fast and convenient. </p>

You don&#8217;t even have to have the <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> backup software installed on all the devices you want to sync files to.</p>
<p>You can also access the your Stash files from your iPhone / iPad and Android powered devices making it handy to access your data from anywhere. Not only that but the <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> app will automatically upload photos and videos from your smartphone or tablet to your Stash and sync it across all your linked computers.</p>
<p>Storage space for your Stash is drawn from your main <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> account. So if you have a 125GB <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> account and backup 75GB you have 50GB of room left for storage with Stash. </p>
<p>With the public beta release of Stash <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> now offers a backup, sync and mobile access solution. This brings them up to speed with many of the other backup and sync services already out there including <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/sugarsync.php' target="_blank">SugarSync</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/spideroak.php' target="_blank">SpiderOak</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/dropbox.php' target="_blank">Dropbox</a>. With the addition of automatically sycning photos and videos from mobile devices <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> has certainly improved upon their mobile app offerings.</p>
<p>If you are already a <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> user the addition of Stash is a welcomed addition and according to <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> those that sign up during the public beta will be able to continue using the service at no extra cost to their subscription. There is currently no pricing available for the cost of Stash after the public beta. Could be a good reason to sign up for <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> now to avoid that extra feature cost in the future.</p>
<p>Considering the high cost of additional storage with services like <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/dropbox.php' target="_blank">Dropbox</a>, the cost of <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.onlinebackupdeals.com/go/mozy.php' target="_blank">Mozy</a> backup with the added features of Stash make it an even more competitive service going forward into 2012.</p>

<p><em>Signals a sea change in the classic online backup market</em></p>
<p><strong>SEATTLE – January 25, 2012</strong> – Mozy® today announced public beta availability of Mozy StashTM, a new feature that provides Mozy customers with a simple way of keeping their files up to date and available across multiple computers, smartphones and tablets. Now Mozy customers enjoy an unprecedented service that combines Mozy’s industry-leading online backup with the ability to synchronize files across multiple computers with Stash.</p>
<p><strong>Use of Multiple Devices Changing the Backup Market</strong><br />
In the seven years since Mozy helped pioneer the online backup market, the way we access and interact with our data has changed significantly. In addition to the growing adoption of smartphones and tablets, many people are using multiple computers. Mozy ensures photographs, music and documents accumulated over the years are protected for a lifetime, while making those same files available wherever you are, on whatever device you’re carrying.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mozy has always protected its customers’ data against catastrophic loss,&#8221; said Russ Stockdale, General Manager of Mozy. &#8220;With Stash, Mozy customers will see a huge increase in the value they get from protecting their data with Mozy. Stash makes it easy to move from your computer at the office to your computer at home, without having to email files to yourself or mess around with USB drives.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Simple and Complete</strong><br />
The growing popularity of various file synchronization tools illustrates how our data needs have matured. While some of these tools enjoy wide acceptance, they force their customers to sacrifice complete protection for the availability of only a subset of those files created and accumulated over a lifetime. The combination of Mozy online backup plus Stash provides a complete data solution.</p>
<p>&#8220;Stash uses a simple single-folder model which complements your online backup so that all your data is available where and when you need it, even if you choose not to synchronize it,&#8221; said Stockdale.</p>
<p>Daniel Shirley, a MozyHome customer in Greensboro, N.C. concurs. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been a Mozy user for a few years and was anxious to try out the Stash beta to keep my files up to date between my computers at work and home. Stash was very easy to set up. But what I like best is that even when I forget to put a file in my Stash, Mozy online backup ensures that I can still find it online, and then download it. Everything is right there. The complementary value of online backup and Stash can’t be overstated, especially when comparing it to other providers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Together, Mozy online backup and Stash ensure that all files are protected and available to you from anywhere and from each of your computers as well as from iPhone, iPad and Android devices.</p>
<p><strong>Pricing and Availability</strong><br />

Prevously it was not possible for these users to access their backed up files with the mobile app unless they switched to the standard encryption keys. It is good to hear that CrashPlan now supports this extra layer of security in their mobile apps for those users that choose that extra layer of security with their backup.</p>

<h2>Code 42 Software Releases Updated CrashPla&#110; Mobile Apps for Elevated Security Accounts</h2>
<p><strong>CrashPla&#110; and CrashPla&#110; PRO apps updated to support highest security settings</strong></p>
<p>(San Francisco &#8211; Macworld/iWorld 2012 Booth #910 – January 24, 2012) – Code 42 Software Inc., developers of award-winning onsite, offsite and online backup solutions for consumers, businesses and the enterprise, today announced updates and new security enhancements to the CrashPla&#110; and CrashPla&#110; PRO mobile apps. The latest version adds support for the two elevated security options used by many CrashPla&#110; users. Users who have specified private passwords or private encryption keys for their backups, now have full access to their CrashPla&#110; archives from the free mobile apps, without giving up the extra security they prefer. Code 42 will be demonstrating the updated apps, along with CrashPla&#110;, CrashPla&#110; PRO and CrashPla&#110; PROe at Code42’s Macworld booth #910.</p>
<p>&#8220;We took our time adding this feature, because of the extreme importance we (and our users) place on the security of CrashPla&#110;,&#8221; said Matthew Dornquast, co-founder and CEO, Code 42 Software. &#8220;We had to be sure it was right and it was worth the wait. Not only have we added support for the highest security levels, we&#8217;ve dramatically increased the performance of the app when downloading from your archive.&#8221;</p>
<p>The CrashPla&#110; apps let CrashPla&#110;+ or CrashPla&#110; PRO users browse their backup archive, in the cloud, and download any files to any Apple iOS, Android or Windows device with just a tap. The apps are optimized for both phone and tablet devices, and feature built-in viewing for many common file types. An exclusive one-tap update feature informs the user when a file has been updated in their backup archive and retrieves the latest version of any changed file(s) with a single tap.</p>
<p>The mobile CrashPla&#110; and CrashPla&#110; PRO apps are currently available for free download via the Apple iTunes App Store, Android Marketplace, Microsoft&#8217;s Windows Phone Marketplace and Amazon Appstore. The apps require a current subscription to either CrashPla&#110;+ or CrashPla&#110; PRO. A CrashPla&#110; PROe app is expected to coincide with the release of CrashPla&#110; PROe 3.0 later this year. To learn more about Code 42, visit their Macworld booth (#910) or www.code42.com.</p>

<h2>Code 42 Software Closes $52.5 Million in First Round of Funding Led By Accel Partners</h2>
<p>Code 42 Software Inc., developers of award-winning onsite, offsite and online backup solutionsfor consumers, businesses and the enterprise, announced the company has secured $52.5 million in venture funding. Led by <a href="http://www.accel.com/index.php">Accel Partners</a> with participation from Split Rock Partners, the funding will be used to accelerate product development and increase Code 42’s global market share via expanded sales and marketing efforts. This is the first major investment from Accel Partners’ recently announced Big Data Fund, dedicated to funding category-defining infrastructure and application companies in “Big Data.”</p>
<p>Founded by Mitch Coopet, Brian Bispala and Matthew Dornquast, Code 42 Software launched CrashPlan, personal data protection and backup software, in 2007. The intention of CrashPlan was to reinvent backup by developing an easy-to-use technology to protect data whenever and wherever it is created. After introducing CrashPlan to consumers, Code 42 used the knowledge gained in that process to develop and deliver software that is enterprise-grade.</p>
<p>Just five years after launching CrashPlan, Code 42 now manages and protects over 100 petabytes of data globally. In addition to CrashPlan for the home, Code 42’s product lineup includes online backup solutions for the SMB, CrashPlan PRO, and private and public cloud solutions for the enterprise, CrashPlan PROe. All products offer multi-destination, cross-platform, continuous protection onsite, offsite and online. With 86 employees, Code 42 has experienced more than 500 percent growth over the last three years.</p>
<p>“We launched CrashPlan in 2007 with the intention of protecting the world’s information when it’s created, where it’s created, in real time.” said Matthew Dornquast, co-founder and CEO of Code 42 Software. “The explosion of mobile devices and cloud services has created big data and security opportunity for the enterprise.  The CrashPlan suite of products is ideally positioned to provide continuous, real time data management and protection within these organizations. Accel has the unique ability to identify significant industry trends like ‘Big Data’ and ‘The consumerization of IT’ and help entrepreneurs translate those trends into category-defining global businesses. The insight and experience of our investor team will be invaluable as we scale Code 42.”</p>
<p>Code 42?s state-of-the-art, enterprise backup solution, CrashPlan PROe, is in use by more than 4,000 customers globally including: Adobe, Google, Groupon, HP, Intuit, Kraft Foods, LinkedIn, NASA, National Geographic, Salesforce.com, Stanford University and The University of Texas. The adoption of Code 42 solutions by leading enterprise customers reflects the unmatched combination of security, scalability, and flexibility the company provides.  Code 42’s flexible delivery model enables enterprise customers to simply and effectively protect their data onsite or offsite, via private or public clouds.  According to founder Matthew Dornquast, “Code 42 offers enterprise customers multiple paths to meet their data protection needs, united by common guiding principles: security, scalability, and ease of use.”</p>
<p>Ping Li of Accel Partners and Michael Gorman of Split Rock Partners will join Code 42’s board of directors. Li commented, “Big data continues to revolutionize data centers across all industries, opening up a massive market for entrepreneurial activity. As devices and the data they generate continue to explode, Code 42 is primed to make a profound impact on information data management for consumer and enterprise devices with their cloud back-up and future innovative big data applications. The company’s technology is unrivaled and Code 42’s profitable business model has proven itself. I’m excited to work with Code 42’s top notch team and support the company’s continued growth.”</p>
<p>“Code 42’s financing is the largest venture round in a private Minnesota-based software company,” said Michael Gorman, managing director, Split Rock Ventures. “By any measure, Code 42’s venture round is a seismic event in the Minnesota tech landscape and is further evidence that technological innovation is alive and well in Minnesota.”</p>
