Fraser Milner Casgrain Standardizes On Acronis True Image Server For Disaster Recovery

One of Canada's Largest Law Firms Expands its Installed Base of Acronis Software

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., December 7, 2004 — Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage management solutions, announced that Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (FMC), a law firm based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has standardized its server disaster recovery and bare-metal restore requirements with Acronis True Image Server 8.0. The company improved its disaster recovery readiness by upgrading its server systems to the latest release of the Acronis software.

FMC was looking for a solution that would allow its network team to perform real-time server images prior to system upgrades or monthly maintenance. FMC utilizes technology extensively to service its clients and system down time is not an option. "To ensure we are prepared for a potential disaster, we selected Acronis True Image Server. Acronis brings peace of mind in knowing our server data can be restored in minutes," said Andreas Mollerup, Infrastructure Specialist at FMC. FMC has been using Acronis in production for the past month and has already reduced its maintenance window by at least 25%.

"Our offices are linked by sophisticated technologies to streamline communication, collaboration and workflow and our lawyers are accustomed to practicing nationally and working as part of national practice groups," said Mollerup. "Ensuing we always have access to our data, and that the failure of any server will not impact our customers, is of critical importance. Acronis True Image Server has exceeded our expectations; server restore times have been reduced to minutes."

"Acronis recognizes that data is the fuel that drives corporations," said Max Tsypliaev, CEO of Acronis. "We are proud to partner with such world-class companies as Fraser Milner Casgrain in delivering the most reliable systems and storage management solutions."

Financial terms of the agreement were not released.
