Trend Micro acquires humyo - Online storage and data synchronization
14 June 2010
Trend Micro is pleased to announce that we have just acquired humyo, a leading provider of next-generation online storage and data synchronization.
Data protection and online backup is a critical component of an effective security strategy in today’s world of consumers and small businesses that increasingly rely on the Internet to organize and share their files, folders, and photos with friends, families, and colleagues. With over seven hundred thousand users storing more than 350 million files in humyo’s secure datacenters, humyo has established itself as a leading online storage provider with its easy-to-use, yet technically powerful solutions.
Unlike traditional backup solutions, where getting access to the data after back-up required deep technical product knowledge and complicated restore process, the humyo solution enables customers to synchronize/back-up their data worry-free and get instant access to the data, anywhere, anytime on any device with a click of a mouse. The solution is designed for the consumer and small business customer who have limited technical skills, and provides superior organization of data that removes the manual effort of moving files from one PC to another, which is not only time-consuming but subject to potential data loss.
This acquisition supports Trend Micro’s strategy to deliver industry leading cloud security technology and products to stop threats where they emerge, on the internet, and provide security for and from the cloud. It also fits with Trend Micro’s dedication to help customers achieve the type of freedom to surf the web that they seek and carry out business online with complete confidence, knowing that their personal information and data are safe and accessible to them, when and where they need it.
humyo will provide our mutual customers the peace of mind that their computers and ever-expanding digital information are safe from malware or some other catastrophic incident, and it will provide you, our channel partner, a significant new revenue opportunity. There are millions of current personal and business security customers of Trend Micro who need access to secure backup, recovery and constant access, and with humyo, you will have an industry leading solution with a clear value proposition that should make standalone sales or cross-selling an easy conversation. We’re confident that this acquisition will help us capitalize on the rapidly growing Internet storage backup market (IDC: CAGR 25% from 2009-2011). Trend Micro will be introducing humyo into our channel in early 2011.
Trend Micro will continue to offer humyo stand-alone services for the near term. Moving forward, Trend Micro will look to expand and integrate solutions (consumer, small business) where we believe there is customer, channel, and partner value.
