Introduction
The phenomenal growth in storage demand in today’s Internet world is creating
challenges for business. Mozy backup on the Cisco Smart Storage NAS provides
small businesses with a secure enterprise-level disaster recovery solution for their
critical data. Small business computers and servers can connect to the NAS for
backing up their data and sharing folders and files. The Mozy backup running on
the NAS essentially provides a second level of backup to the cloud and ensures
data protection in case of a disaster such as a NAS hardware failure, fire, or flood.
The benefits include:
•
Easy way to centralize and automate backup of your critical business data;
all via one intuitive interface as part of Cisco Smart Storage.
•
Integrated online backup offered from Mozy (an EMC company), the world’s
most popular online backup service with a highly scalable, secure, and
proven operation with global data centers.
•
Restore files and folders from the same interface on Cisco Smart Storage.
Additional restore options include:
-
Ability to restore from Mozy’s website.
-
Ship a DVD from Mozy’s website.
•
No separate software running on computers or servers.
How is Mozy for Smart Storage different from MozyHome and MozyPro?
Mozy for Smart Storage was created with NAS integration in mind, specifically
with the Cisco Smart Storage family of devices. Built for embedded platforms,
Mozy for Smart Storage cannot be purchased as a standalone product.
MozyHome and MozyPro are consumer and SMB-focused products specifically
for Windows and Mac platforms. MozyHome is available for one low price geared
towards personal usage (video, music, photos, etc.) while MozyPro is a pay-as-
you-go product for small business to enterprise environments.
