Seagate backup biz deletes name, restores EVault brand
i365 goes back to the future
Seagate's cloud backup biz, i365, has renamed itself EVault, the name it was called when Seagate bought it five years ago.
Why bother?
The i365 name was applied to EVault, and to Seagate's acquired paperwork search biz MetaLincs and Seagate Recovery Services, in September 2008. The three operations were combined in the wholly-owned i365 subsidiary. The title meant "Information, 365" days a year.
The latest name change was displayed on the EVault website, and the apparent reason for the U-turn is that the i365 term rings no bells with customers whereas EVault does. ®

Leap year
Clearly they had to change it so that their customers wouldn't assume there was a full day's outage pending in 2012. Unlike MS Office 365 which is clearly heading for disaster.
So after all...
...they backed up.

Seriously, why bother?
This company's last major software release (Infostage 6) was back in 2007--when the company was still named "EVault." It's nearly 2012 and they are *still* on Infostage 6. Maybe EVault / Seagate Services / i365 / EVault should spend less time trying to outrun its poor reputation and spend more time on software development.
