Free Deduplication Special Limited Time Offer
Burlington, Mass., January 27, 2010 - Acronis
(www.acronis.com) is offering its
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Deduplication solution for free*
as part of a campaign to help businesses reduce their overall
storage costs. Users are entitled to a free deduplication licence
with every advanced edition of its Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 software purchased.
With deduplication, businesses may cut storage requirements by
up to 90 percent by eliminating backup copies of redundant data,
Acronis helps organizations to reduce costs and improve
efficiencies. Acronis has over 22,000 deduplication installations
worldwide and now is seeking to extend deduplication savings to
more customers.
To demonstrate the savings that can be made from deduplication,
Acronis has created a free
ROI calculator. For example, a customer with 10 servers and 2TB
of data that changes 5 percent per day and is kept for four weeks,
will save more than $20,000 in storage costs annually by employing
deduplication. The savings are calculated by the number of servers
and workstations being backed up, the data change rate, and the
cost of data storage. Using the calculator, the user can get an
estimate of how much storage space could be saved through
deduplication, the financial savings, and the percentage of
savings.
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 organization also analyses the
overall costs of their storage infrastructure.
"Acronis provides data backup and deduplication, and system
recovery in one single solution, helping customers address their
disaster recovery strategy from a central management console.
Acronis delivers what a customer requires for their storage
infrastructure, without the overhead of managing multiple
solutions," said Isvet Laclaustra, Sr. Systems Engineer and Chief
Trainer for Infologic, an Acronis Gold Partner.
"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 Ismail ("Izzy")
Azeri, Vice President of Business and Corporate Development for
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 a complete and cost-effective
protection solution, 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
