Singapore, March 2, 2010 - Acronis (https://www.acronis.com.sg), a
leading provider of onsite and offsite backup, disaster recovery
and security solutions, today announced a broad set of products and
services to safeguard critical data and systems from both internal
and external threats. The new products deliver the three elements
of home computer protection - local backup/disaster recovery,
online backup, and Internet security.
Acronis® Backup and Security 2010 software is one of
only a few solutions to provide comprehensive information
protection that combines award-winning backup and recovery with
Internet security, offering a compelling alternative to existing
point solutions. Users can back up their systems locally for fast
recovery of both data and their entire PC, which protects them
against user error, disk failures and system failures. In addition,
online backup provides remote location data protection in case of
theft or physical disaster.
Licensed to protect up to three home computers, Acronis Backup
and Security 2010 gives home users the peace of mind that they can
protect their PCs and those of their family members against data
loss and security threats including the many viruses, spam,
phishing and identity theft attacks that threaten home computers
every day. Users can securely bank, shop and surf the web, keep
personal information and conversations private, enable parental
controls and block unauthorised access to their wireless networks
by using Acronis Backup and Security 2010 software.
"At their core, both backup and recovery and security are
focused on information protection. Whether a file is deleted,
corrupted or infected, the user is impacted. Customer feedback has
shown there is a convergence of traditional disaster recovery with
security under the umbrella of total information protection.
Acronis' expanded family of products meets this need, and gives
users security from a company they already know and trust," said
Jason Donahue, CEO of Acronis.
The Acronis backup and security product family includes several
security packages to give users a choice of protection options.
Acronis Backup and Security 2010 offers local backup and
disaster recovery, and online data backup (5 GB available), along
with full-featured internet security. Acronis Backup and Security
2010 Premium extends the online data backup capabilities to 250 GB
plus the other powerful security and backup benefits of Acronis
Backup and Security 2010.
Acronis Internet Security Suite 2010 provides a personal
firewall, parental controls and protection from viruses, spyware,
and phishing. Acronis
Antivirus 2010 protects home computers from viruses, spyware,
and phishing attacks.
Acronis also launched standalone Acronis®
Online Backup, a fully encrypted service, gives consumers the
power to protect up to 250 GB of data - more than 15 times the
average MP3 player's worth of music - on up to five computers.
Users can easily retrieve their files by logging into a secure
location from any Internet-connected PC.
Providing the flexibility consumers demand, Acronis Online
Backup can work with Acronis
True Image Home 2010. The common user interface of Acronis
Online Backup and Acronis True Image Home 2010 makes for fast and
easy setup of backups via the Internet or local storage. Acronis
True Image Home 2010 provides fast file restore and the ability to
recover the entire PC, including the operating system and
applications, while Acronis Online Backup provides remote location
data protection in case of theft or physical disaster.
"The addition of Acronis Online Backup to our home product
portfolio gives our users the widest backup options available on
the market today," said Sean Kinney, Vice President of Cloud
Services at Acronis. "The powerful combination of online and
on-site backup solutions provides Acronis consumers with the
ultimate in data protection, knowing that their digital lives are
safe and sound at all times."
