Acronis Earns Its Spot on the Gartner 2019 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Datacenter Backup and Recovery Solutions
Acronis was honored to be featured in this year’s Gartner 2019 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Datacenter Backup and Recovery Solutions. Admittedly, we were disappointed to see our position on the quadrant – especially given our unique vision and successful practical execution of fusing cybersecurity with backup in order to establish a new standard of comprehensive protection: Cyber Protection. Then again, visionaries and innovators rarely fit existing metrics – instead we influence the standards that drive the future of their industries. Let’s take a moment to examine Acronis’ position in the Enterprise Backup and Recovery sector.

Spoiler Alert: Disaster Has Many Faces – Chance Favors the Prepared
Get ready for a stunning statistic. A report from Deloitte determined that all but 10% of businesses will fail without a disaster recovery plan in place. What’s more amazing is that 75% of all small businesses don’t have any disaster recovery plan.

After all, it’s never too late to get serious about the threats that are out there and always a good time to plan for the worst.
