November 13, 2007, SALT LAKE CITY, UT, -
Acronis, Inc. (www.acronis.com/en-us/), a
provider of affordable, scalable storage management and disaster
recovery software, expanded its association with the Salt Lake
Community Action Program (CAP) Head Start Program by
further upgrading its disaster recovery software.
Acronis, which has been providing Acronis True
Image Server software to the educational program for children for
three years, recently donated two additional copies of Acronis True
Image 9.1 Enterprise Server and Acronis Universal Restore to
protect the group's mission-critical servers.
Head Start is a comprehensive preschool program
providing educational, nutritional, medical and social services to
children and families living in poverty. Salt Lake CAP has
administered the Head Start program in Utah's Salt Lake and Tooele
Counties since 1965, and currently serves more than 2,000 children
each year. This is one of the largest of the more than 2,700 Head
Start programs in the country.
"Salt Lake CAP Head Start works with hundreds of
families and our servers contain a lot of confidential information
on both these families and our employees," said Matt Ulmer, IT
Administrator for Salt Lake CAP. "These servers also manage billing
and accounting functions. Knowing that our servers are protected by
Acronis True Image gives us a lot of confidence that should
anything happen to these computers, we will be able to restore them
to new equipment quickly, regardless of where they are, the kind of
hardware they will be on, or even if the systems will be physical
or virtual. No matter what, we'll be up and running in no
time."
"While Head Start might not be considered a
'first responder' in case of emergency, our families depend on
us to provide important social services," Ulmer said. "Now we have
the ability to continue providing services in minutes, not hours or
days, if our computer systems suffer an unforeseen event such as a
fire, storm or even a virus or accidentally deleted file."
"Acronis prides itself on being not only a good
corporate neighbor, but also a good neighbor in general," said
Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Nothing is more important
than our children, and being able to ensure that children get the
services they need is indeed a most worthy endeavor. We're proud to
support the good works of Head Start and look forward to working
with this group for a long time to come."
