Acronis launches first cloud data center in Norway.

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland. Acronis, the global leader in cyber protection, today announced the availability of a new Acronis Cyber Cloud Data Center in Norway. The new data center, one of the 111 new data centers being deployed by the company, gives service provider partners access to a full range of cyber protection solutions upon which they can build new services while delivering faster access, constant data availability, and data sovereignty to their clients.

Having these capabilities is key for Norwegian service providers today, as cyberthreats loom over the business landscape and data accessibility, privacy, and compliance demands grow.

"With the cyber threat landscape constantly evolving and cyberattacks increasing, we are excited to have a globally known cyber protection vendor, Acronis, launch a local data center here", said Atle Opstvedt the CEO from Intranet who is one of Acronis´ strategic local partners. "Now, Norwegian companies will be able to store their strategic data in the country."

The opening of the Norwegian data center is part of the Acronis Global/Local Initiative, an effort which includes global management for all data centers, geographic redundancy, control for local partners, and a local disaster recovery site - all with competitive pricing. The goal of this initiative is that service providers will have no trouble meeting the ever-changing compliance, data sovereignty, and performance requirements they and their clients face.

The global network of Acronis Cyber Cloud Data Centers already includes more than 40 data centers. From Europe to Asia and from the US to Africa, Acronis already opened cloud data centers across the globe and is planning to open many more. With the new data center in Norway, local service providers will have a location within the country where they can store business-critical data for their clients. Managed service providers (MSPs) will also benefit from the full range of managed cloud solutions and cyber protection solutions available via the Acronis Cyber Cloud platform.

"A local presence is a necessity for modern cloud businesses and we are proud to deliver the Acronis Cyber Cloud Data Center in Norway", said Mikael Johansson Regional Sales Director Nordics. "This is something our partners have wanted for a while - to have an Acronis Cloud Data Center in Norway. Now they can safeguard client data locally and know that they are backed by a global partner who is on standby 24/7/365 to address any issues."
