Since the release of new products based on hybrid cloud

25% growth of Acronis Backup, 20% growth of Acronis True Image, and
100% growth of Acronis Backup Cloud solution for service providers
in the last year alone.
Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection for
businesses of any size and individual users, is pleased to
celebrate three years since the opening of its International
Headquarters at the company's birthplace in Singapore.
Acronis was founded in 2003 in Singapore with a primary focus on
offering innovative data protection solutions to consumers,
businesses and service providers. To meet the rapid growth demands,
the company expanded overseas, opening its Corporate Headquarters
in Schaffhausen, Switzerland and establishing presence in key
markets, including U.S., Germany, Japan, Russia, and Australia. In
2014 Acronis moved its International HQ to Singapore, back to where
the company was first founded. Today, Acronis is the largest
Singaporean software and internet services company operating in the
global market.
Acronis R&D center in Singapore produces innovative
technology designed to provide complete data protection, needed by
businesses of any size and individual users. This includes Acronis
hybrid cloud architecture giving users complete data management
flexibility, AI-based ransomware
protection capable of blocking zero-day cyber-attacks, and
blockchain-based
data certification for immutable proof of data validity.
These technologies have been instrumental for the company's
success. In the last year alone, Acronis
True Image business increased by 20%, Acronis Backup
by 25% and Acronis
Access business by over 200% as of September 2017. Acronis
Backup Cloud, innovative Backup-as-a-Service for service
providers also continues to grow at a rate of more than 100% a
year, accompanied by a 350% growth in the number of protected
devices and 400% growth of data stored in the Acronis Cloud.
"Singapore is an important international technology hub with
unparalleled levels of neutrality, which is critical to a global
company like Acronis working in the area of data protection. High
standards, inclusive culture, and convenient geographical location,
makes Singapore the most productive place for top talent to work
and live in. Here we recruit world's best software engineers,
specifically in the area of security and Artificial Intelligence,"
said Acronis President, John Zanni.
Being present in Singapore also enabled Acronis to develop
strategic partnerships with local universities, research
organizations, and become a founding member of the Cybersecurity
Consortium. With the support of the Singapore Economic Development
Board (EDB), Acronis also undertakes data protection R&D and
participates in joint projects with the Data Storage Institute and
NTU. Acronis has relocated five members of its executive team to
Singapore, doubled its office space and committed to invest
additional US$10m (SG$13.6m) in AI research projects. In the next
three years, Acronis plans to add more than 100 new staff, apply
for more than 100 new patents and continue to form strategic
partnerships.
Acronis is all about technology, performance and innovation,
which links the company to Formula 1 sport, making Acronis a
perfect partner for Scuderia Toro Rosso.
"We're very happy to be celebrating together with Acronis their
third anniversary of their HQ in Singapore. We were here together
when it all first started three years ago and it's very pleasing to
see that our relationship continues fruitfully. A big
congratulations to Acronis!" said Franz Tost, Team Principal at
