November 11, 2006, Burlington, MA
Acronis Inc. (www.acronis.com), the technological
leader in storage management software, announced that Acronis True
Image software has received IBM ServerProven™ certification. The
IBM ServerProven designation means that the Acronis solution has
been successfully implemented, tested and validated by IBM in a
real-world environment.
IBM ServerProven certification is intended for
IBM customers to identify compatible, reliable solutions for their
business-critical needs and IBM ServerProven solutions like Acronis
True Image are evaluated for their compatibility with IBM eServers
in a real-world customer production environment.
"With an average server lifespan of 18 months,
organizations are constantly tasked to upgrade their hardware
without jeopardizing the life's blood of their businesses, their
data," said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "When you consider the
explosion in virtual servers and mobile employees, it's clear that
what IT managers and systems integrators need is a server migration
application that is not only fast and easy to use, but that also
can meet migration challenges both on and off the data center
floor."
"Acronis is very pleased to get the IBM
ServerProven certification and is committed to continuing to
develop high-performance solutions for IBM's broad range of x86
servers including IBM BladeCenter and IBM System X servers," said
Zorian Rotenberg, director of business development of Acronis. "The
IBM ServerProven certification ensures that Acronis
True&nbsolImage will work on IBM servers, and IBM customers can
count on Acronis for their critical data backup and recovery needs,
whether it is for a small business or for a Fortune 500
company."
Solutions that are ServerProven represent
applications that have been enabled for IBM Systems and have been
verified through a customer experience to be installed and running
in a customer location. To earn the IBM ServerProven certification,
Acronis had to submit and verify evidence of its Acronis True Image
product on one or more IBM Systems in a real-world customer
environment. In this particular case, the IBM customer using
Acronis software turned out to be one of IBM's own development
labs.
As an IBM ServerProven product, Acronis True
Image can help IBM customers lower their total acquisition costs
through cost-saving rebates and special offers from IBM.
