BOSTON — May 20,
2009 —
Carbonite Inc., the
leading provider of
online backup
services for
consumers and small
businesses,
announced its
selection by voters
as a 2009 Webware
100 award winner on
Webware, a CNET
site. Carbonite's
set-and-forget
online backup
service was honored
as a favorite in the
Infrastructure and
Storage category.
Carbonite was
among more than
5,000 companies
nominated by Webware
readers and one of
300 companies chosen
as a finalist. More
than 630,000 votes
were cast in an
online poll, which
ultimately selected
the Webware 100
winners. Other
honorees in the
Webware 100 include
Facebook, Twitter
and Skype.
"We are thrilled
and honored to have
been voted as a 2009
Webware 100 winner,"
said David Friend,
founder and CEO of
Carbonite. "This
designation is a
great confirmation
of the high value
our customers place
on the protection
Carbonite provides
for their personal
and professional
data. We've backed
up more than 25
billion files and
helped our customers
restore more than 2
billion files that
otherwise would have
been lost forever."
Carbonite
recently added a
remote access
feature that allows
users to access
their backed-up
files online anytime
from any computer.
Earlier this year,
the company
introduced its
Carbonite for Mac
product, which
provides unlimited,
automatic online
backup for
Intel-based Macs
with OS 10.4 or
10.5.
