The company adds an additional focus on fast-growing Asian market,
and leverages new opportunities in the neutral international
business and technology hub Singapore - 17 September 2014 -
Acronis, the global leader in new generation data protection, today
announces the official opening of its international headquarters in
Singapore. For Acronis, launching the international headquarters in
Singapore is also returning to its roots, as the company was
founded in Singapore in 2002, started sales operations in Asia and
quickly become the leader on the backup market in Japan. Singapore
is a strategic choice for the international headquarters to focus
on rapidly growing Asian market, and continue successful
international operations from this neutral technology and business
hub. "Singapore is a convenient location for international
technology business. The country is well connected to the rest of
the world; more than 50% of world's population and economy is in
the distance of 8-hours flight from here. Singapore serves as a
business and technology hub in Asia, and this is important for us,
as we believe that in 5 years more than 50% of Acronis revenue will
come from Asia. Also important that Singapore is a neutral country,
and it is a good place for a truly global company", - said Serg
Bell, CEO and founder of Acronis. Acronis considers boosting its
R&D activities in Singapore as part of the company's global
strategy aimed at becoming the advanced technology leader in its
market segment worldwide. Recently appointed global Chief Strategy
and Operations Officer Mark Shmulevich will lead establishing tight
collaboration between Acronis and universities and technology
centers in Singapore. Mark Shmulevich commented, "Efficient
infrastructure combined with significant government support for
innovation, together with presence of strong R&D centers and
universities in Singapore, makes the country one of our focus
points for technology collaborations and advanced research. We are
already starting working with a few institutions, including Data
Storage Institute, and are planning to expand our partnerships in
the near future". Acronis also recently launched a datacenter in
Singapore, extending the network of datacenters providing cloud
data protection beyond the locations in the US, France, Germany,
Japan and Russia. The new datacenter provides customers in Asia
with a multi-fold increase in data transfer speed due to the
geographical proximity of storage location, and ability to store
backup data locally. About Acronis Acronis sets the standard for
