Acronis disk imaging solution provides smooth transition from
HDDs to SEDs
London, UK, 8 June, 2010 - Acronis, a
provider of easy-to-use backup, disaster recovery and security
solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments, today
announced that it has teamed up with Origin Storage to provide an
easy to use package which allows users to migrate their operating
system, applications, settings and data from hard disk drives
(HDDs) to self encrypting drives (SEDs).
This package comes as part of Origin Storage's Enigma range
which includes Acronis True Image solution. This package can
capture an operating system, including applications, settings and
data. The tool will allow users to easily migrate from their
existing system to a new SED.
The package comes with a kit that includes a USB / SATA data
transfer cable for ease of installation. Once the image has been
migrated, Origin Storage customers can also use encryption
capabilities to lock down the data on their SEDs. The encryption
data comes courtesy of Winmagic.
Andy Cordial, managing director at Origin Storage, explains:
"Our aim is to provide a complete solution to enable businesses to
migrate their system from one source to another. This can sometimes
be a complicated process, which is why we have created this
package. We looked at several imaging vendors, but Acronis was the
obvious choice for its ease of use and reliable technology."
David Blackman, general manager Northern Europe at Acronis,
said: "As the demand for self encrypted drives continues to rise,
Acronis True Image HD has become the preferred solution for vendors
like Origin Storage who want to give their customers a proven,
reliable product that helps users make the most of their technology
investment."
All three drives come in a 2.5 inch form factor and use 256-bit
AES hardware encryption. The drives start at £249 for a 160GB
version, and span up to 500 GB for £299.
