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.

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.
