Vendor uses VMWorld Europe as platform to launch its Virtual Edition in EMEA
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, 18 February, 2009 -
Acronis will debut its new model for backup and recovery solutions
in virtual environments at this year's VMWorld Europe event (Cannes
24-26 February). Acronis True Image Virtual Edition will allow
organisations to back up and recover virtual machines onto a single
physical server and seamlessly migrate servers between physical and
virtual environments.
Designed to keep budgeting for backup and recovery solutions in
a virtual environment simple, the solution is cost-effective
allowing organisations to backup, recover or test up to 99 virtual
machines on a single, physical server at one price. There is no
additional charge for backing up new virtual machines.
Because many vendors charge a licensing fee for each operating
system, processor, or virtual server it can become extremely
expensive for an organisation to build, test, migrate and manage a
virtual machine infrastructure. Laurent Dedenis, Vice President,
Acronis EMEA explains:
"This move marks Acronis' commitment to provide clarity to
organisations who acknowledge the need to backup in a virtual
world, but may be put off by the complexity and cost of the
licensing structure associated with introducing a business
continuity strategy in a virtual environment."
He continued: "The simplicity of this structure makes it ideal
for SMBs who may have limited experience of working in a virtual
environment. However, it's equally as suitable for larger companies
who manage a high volume virtual machine environment. Quite simply,
the more virtual machines created on a host, the lower the price
per virtual machine."
