Users are entitled to a free deduplication licence with every advanced edition of its [Acronis Backup & Recovery 10](https://www.acronis.com/en-eu/backup-recovery/) software purchased. With deduplication, businesses may cut storage requirements by up to 90 percent by eliminating multiple backup copies of redundant data. Acronis helps organisations to reduce costs and improve efficiencies through this technology. Acronis has 22,000 deduplication installations worldwide and is now seeking to extend deduplication savings to more customers. Deduplication may dramatically reduce the cost of storage requirements, but the expense of managing storage can be as much as four times the pure hardware, software and other tangible costs, therefore it is critical that an organisation also analyses the overall costs of their storage infrastructure. "By integrating data deduplication into the backup process, Acronis brings deduplication benefits to organizations. Customers can benefit from storage cost savings without any additional hardware investment or management overhead," said Laurent Dedenis, Executive Vice President EMEA, Acronis**.** "In addition, Acronis offers system and data recovery for physical and virtual environments, as well as deduplication in one solution. With Acronis, users have complete and cost-effective protection, not only for their data, but also for their systems and applications." The promotion is available on the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Deduplication option which is compatible with the advanced editions of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10. The promotion runs until the end of March, and there is no limit to the number of licences.
