Awards Given by Info Security and WindowsNetworking.com

October 4, 2007, Paris, France - Acronis EMEA (www.acronis.com/en-eu/), a provider of affordable, scalable storage management and disaster recovery software, announced today that it is a winner of two prestigious awards.

  • Acronis won in the Disaster Recovery category for the 2007 Tomorrow's Technology Today Award from Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and the world's leading publication on security-related products and technologies.
  • Acronis True Image Server™ was named a WindowsNetworking.com Readers' Choice Award in the Backup Solution category. The award was given by leading Windows Networking resource site, WindowsNetworking.com.

Proven in more than 38,000 worldwide customer sites for disaster recovery and deployment scenarios, Acronis True Image is disaster recovery and backup software that is easy-to-use and deploy, optimizing productivity and delivering an immediate return on investment. Customers can restore their system in minutes, not hours or days, and reduce the costs of system recovery and deployment. Earlier this month, Acronis launched Acronis True Image Echo™, a family of applications that enable IT managers to backup and restore both physical and virtual servers.

"We appreciate the recognition from Info Security Product Guides and WindowsNetworking.com as to the ease-of-use and security that Acronis products provide to business customers," said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis, Inc. "These awards and the recent launch of Acronis True Image Echo are testament to our focus on offering the best backup and recovery software to meet the changing needs of IT departments."

Using Acronis True Image, customers can create an exact duplicate image of the live disk drives on servers or workstations, including the operating system, all configuration files, programs, updates, and databases. The image can be saved to internal or external disk drives (including USB 2.0 and FireWire), networked drives (NAS, SAN), RAID controllers, writable CD or DVD, SCSI tape drives, or even FTP servers, including the ability to create transportable images that can be restored universally to dissimilar hardware using Acronis Universal Restore. The image can be used for any number of purposes, including disaster recovery, data backup, disk cloning, and migration to virtual machine environments.
