WVT's Alteva adds MozyPro backup to UC product offerings

It's been a busy year for Alteva, the Philadelphia-based UC solutions specialist. In April its platform earned a "Product of the Year" award; in July, the cloud-based company was purchased by Warwick Valley Telephone Company (Nasdaq: WWVY) for $17 million.

On Wednesday, it announced it had added MozyPro, a secure online data backup solution, to its product offerings, giving customers an easy backup solution that can be set up quickly and that requires no additional hardware.

"With electronic data on the rise, many companies are transitioning to electronic filing, making automated backup of files crucial. In the event of a disaster, companies should not have to worry about losing critical business data," said Elizabeth Backus, product manager at Alteva. "Having one provider that offers a complete suite of cloud services eliminates the need to manage multiple vendors."

Alteva's portfolio of cloud services includes hosted VoIP, hosted Microsoft Communication Services (Microsoft Exchange, Share Point and OCS with voice integration), fixed mobile convergence, video and web conferencing, advanced voice applications for PCs, data connectivity and more.

In a similar deal last month, North Carolina-based North State Communications purchased IT and managed services provider DataChambers. North State is a provider of Internet, voice, wireless, data and advanced television services to businesses and consumers in the Piedmont Triad region. DataChambers specializes in electronic data storage, 24x7 managed information technology solutions and secure co-location services for mission-critical information technology infrastructure.

"The acquisition advances our strategy to diversify our business and revenue mix and will strengthen North State's efforts in becoming the preferred provider of business communications and data solutions across the Triad and beyond," Hayden McKenzie, chairman and CEO of North State, said at the time.
