Gary Hromadko, venture partner at Crosslink, will join the Carbonite board of directors. "We're focused on delivering the best online backup service in the world," said Carbonite CEO and Co-founder David Friend. "This investment enhances our ability to continue to lead innovation here in the US and to expand our offerings to new foreign markets." Carbonite launched its online backup service for PC owners in 2006. In the last year, Carbonite expanded its product offering to include a Macintosh solution and Remote File Access, which enables any Carbonite user to access backed up files from any web browser. Additionally, the company has forged distribution agreements with Seagate and Sun Microsystems. "Carbonite is the leading independent vendor in a market with enormous potential," said Hromadko.
