January 2, 2007, Paris, France Acronis EMEA (www.acronis.com/en-eu/), the technological leader in storage management software, today announced that it will be teaming with InTechnology and IBM to drive UK reseller and integrator sales of IBM servers and storage solutions in conjunction with its award-winning Acronis True Image backup and recovery software.
Kevin Moreau, business development manager for Acronis UK, will present a combined IBM/Acronis bundling proposition to resellers and integrators attending InTechnology's upcoming "IBM Value in Volume" workshop on Thursday 18th January 2007. This event, designed for technical and sales decision makers looking for new margin-rich opportunities, will be held at InTechnology's central London offices at 1 Threadneedle Street, London EC2R 8AW.

"There are thousands of SMB customers around the world who already rely on the Acronis brand for their backup and recovery," said Kevin Moreau. "One of the key drivers for this relationship will be the impact of our Universal Restore feature which not only allows you to restore to different hardware or to a virtual machine, providing complete disaster recovery, but also eliminates the heavy migration costs usually associated with transitioning a customer from one server brand to another."
Allister Richardson, IBM Business Development Manager, said: "The SMB sector is widely recognised as being the fastest growing and most profitable area for IT growth and software brands like Acronis can play a central role in bringing incremental value and margin to this segment."
