Acronis gears up for more action in Asia

SINGAPORE--Disk imaging and recovery vendor Acronis is riding the Asian wave, six months after setting up base in Singapore.

Max Tsypliaev, chief executive officer of Acronis, told ZDNet Asia in a recent interview that his company has signed up 50 partners and clinched several customer deals, after officially kicking off its sales and marketing activities in January this year. Acronis Asia, its affiliate sales company in Southeast Asia, was set up in Singapore in December 2004.

Acronis' flagship product Acronis True Image backs up files by sectors, not by the traditional method of copying individual files. In Singapore, its customers include the Health Sciences Authority, several A*Star research institutes, NTUC (National Trade Union Congress) Income, and design school Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
