Brings greater faster access and data flexibility for service provider clients across India - along with comprehensive cyber protection solutions
Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, today
announced the availability of a new Acronis Cloud Data Center in
Mumbai, launched jointly with local partners - Compuage India,
Ingram Micro and Crayon Software Experts India. As one of the 111
new data centers being deployed by the company globally, it gives
service providers access to a full range of cyber protection
solutions upon which they can build new services while delivering
faster access, constant data availability, and data sovereignty to
their clients.
With news about cyber-attacks appearing weekly, despite the prevailing pandemic concerns, cyber protection has simply never been in higher demand, with data compliancy among the top priorities for companies in India.
Rustom Hiramaneck, Acronis General Manager in South Asia, said, "Having a local Acronis Cloud Data Center was extremely important to our partners in India - and we are proud to collaborate with companies that remain focused on delivering best data security and business continuity solutions to their clients. With one less thing to worry about, they now know their clients' data is locally backed by a global partner who is on standby 24x7 - ready to resolve any issues."
All Acronis Cloud Data Centers are designed to meet and exceed corporate and regulatory requirements. The initiative includes global management for all data centers, geographic redundancy, control for local partners, and a local disaster recovery site - all with competitive pricing. As a result, service providers have no trouble meeting the ever-changing compliance, data sovereignty, and performance requirements.
"With more businesses moving to the cloud, the demand for local data centres in India has shot up in recent years. Cyber protection is critical nowadays, and Acronis is by far the leading expert in this area. It was a no brainer for us to leverage this opportunity - it will be a win-win situation for both our partners and end customers, given the overwhelming interest in cloud," says Bhavesh Mehta, Compuage Director & COO.
The global network of Acronis Cloud Data Centers already includes locations in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Switzerland, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Bhutan, South Korea and Singapore. With the new data center in India, local service providers now have a location within the country where they can store business-critical data for their clients. Managed service providers (MSPs) will also benefit from the full range of managed cloud solutions and cyber protection solutions available via the Acronis Cyber Cloud platform.
"The reality in knowing where your corporate data resides and ensuring it remains secure has become a necessity in a global partner community - and having your data stored locally provides complete data control both to you and your clients. The investment by Acronis in a new cloud data center guarantees just that," says Vikas Bhonsle, CEO of Crayon Software Experts India.
Among the solutions now available through the new data center is Acronis Cyber Protect, a unique integration of backup, disaster recovery, next-gen antimalware, cybersecurity, and endpoint management tools - all managed via a single pane of glass. The solution is VB100 certified and its unique capabilities earned Acronis Cyber Protect the 2020 New Product Innovation Award for Data Protection from Frost & Sullivan.
