« Zoho Wins "Crunchy" Award as Best Enterprise Startup | Main | Is On-Premise Software Necessary in Principle? »

Yesterday, I noticed a blog post on Techworld.com in which writer Chris Mellor had noticed a job posting for a senior product manager for an EMC SaaS effort called EMC Fortress, in which the storage company wanted to find someone to help "drive EMC's entry into Software-as-a-Service" and to define "compelling features for the Fortress SaaS platform."

Today, the not unexpected news seems to have been confirmed. Computerworld reports that EMC today is unveiling the first offering in that product line, called MozyEnterprise. MozyEnterprise will be a subscription-based SaaS backup and recovery service for remote PCs, said Computerworld, combining three Mozy online backup products called MozyHome, MozyPro, and MozyEnterprise that the company gained by acquiring Berkeley Data Systems last September.

In a blog on InfoWorld, Bill Snyder concludes that the Mozy offering doesn't look overly exciting, but the move does say something about the current pace of the software business.
