Carbonite does enterprise file backup. OpenText is a big software conglomerate that tends to purchase slow-growing or declining (aka, "boring") enterprise software companies and consolidates them, cutting costs and milking the existing customer base for updates and support contracts. Basically they seem to bet on inertia surrounding technology in big companies, which tend not to change things that are working acceptably.
