China Telecom Co., Ltd Shanghai Branch and Decho Corporation, an EMC (News - Alert) Company, have entered into a strategic partnership to deliver cloud-based services in China. 


The partnership’s first offering is the eYun service. 

China Telecom (News - Alert) officials said that the new eYun service provides simple, automatic and secure online backup to Internet users in China. The companies are also working together to offer additional cloud-based services in the future.

eYun, which means e-Cloud in Chinese, is a cloud-based online backup service offered and operated in China. Bringing together China Telecom Co., Ltd Shanghai Branch and Decho’s Mozy service, the joint offer targets the vast number of Internet users in China. 

Decho’s Mozy is an online backup service for both consumers and businesses. 

Online eYun backup offers customers offsite protection of their critical information from computer crashes, data corruption, viruses, human error and disasters. 

“China Telecom Co., Ltd Shanghai Branch is glad to team up with EMC’s Decho to offer the eYun service. It is a joint effort from two market leaders with Shanghai Telecom the leader in Shanghai’s broadband market and Mozy the leader in online backup,” Qian Ming Hai, general manager of the Internet Division of China Telecom, Shanghai Branch, said. 

eYun is a major step for Shanghai Telecom to evolve from a telecom infrastructure provider to an end-to-end information service provider, Hai said.

Shanghai Telecom is a broadband provider in Shanghai with over 4m broadband users and 2m mobile users. Shanghai Telecom’s service offerings include fixed line as well as mobile services for voice, data, image and multi-media telecommunication and information service.

“China is now the largest Internet market in the world,” Harel Kodesh, CEO of Decho Corp., said. 

Kodesh said that his company is delighted to partner with China Telecom, the largest broadband provider in China, to deliver a world-class online backup service to the Chinese market through eYun. 

The companies are also laying the foundation for additional “personal cloud” services to be delivered in the future for both consumers and business customers.
