Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection and storage and Egenera, a leading provider of wholesale cloud services to the channel, today announced a new technology partnership that will enable Egenera to deliver Acronis Backup Cloud as part of Xterity, its wholesale managed cloud service. The partnership will leverage Acronis' technological advances in data protection, giving Egenera's partners the convenience to protect all types of customer data with a single solution.
Adding Acronis Backup Cloud technology into Egenera's Backup as a Service (BaaS) further simplifies backup deployment, performance and flexibility for partners.
