SINGAPORE, MAY 6, 2015 - Acronis has announced the launch of a special data backup package programme named as Startup Package for early stage technology companies. Launched on the sidelines of the 2-day Tech in Asia conference here, the package includes the Acronis Backup Advanced for Windows Server, Acronis Backup to Cloud 500 GB and Acronis Access Advanced for 1 year and up to 10 users.
Most small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs) are aware of the importance of data protection. But due to accelerating data growth rates, budget constraints, reliance on outmoded technology, and other factors, many SMBs do not have adequate data protection. According to a survey, almost 75% of SMBs have no disaster recovery plan, and only about 25% are "extremely confident" about their ability to restore data in an emergency. About half of SMBs back up less than 60% of their data, leaving the rest vulnerable to loss at anytime.
These gaps in data protection are among the key drivers leading SMBs to embrace cloud backup. But while cloud backup is often the most affordable, reliable, and efficient data protection solution for SMBs, choosing the right provider for your specific business needs can be a challenge.
Said Mr Serg Bell, CEO, Acronis, "At Acronis, we remember our days as a start up too, just a short decade ago. We know what it takes to transform good ideas into great products that become a growing business. That's why we want to give this added advantage - the physical resources, in the form of software and Cloud based storage to help these startups grow with flexibility, scalability and ultimately success."
The special Backup, cloud, disaster recovery and mobile file sharing and sync all in one startup package programme is available to all Startups or Early Stage Technology Companies with internet dependent / big data related and /or Cloud based services. It should also be a member of an incubator, accelerator or start up community that Acronis partners with (such as Runa Capital, Tech in Asia). One of the key conditions also being a startup registered at Tech In Asia Singapore Conference and availing purchasing this within 3 months.
Willis Wee, founder of Tech in Asia, said, "Acronis' gesture of creating a special data backup programme for startups is commendable. We are happy to partner with them at Tech in Asia Singapore 2015."
