VMworld, San Francisco, CA, 28 August, 2012 - Acronis, a
leading provider of next generation data protection and disaster
recovery software today announced the further extension of its
technology alliance with VMware with the inclusion of Acronis
Backup & Recovery® as a validated solution within the VMware® View™
Business Process Desktop solution (BPD).
The VMware® View™ Business Process Desktop solution enables
customers looking to outsource or offshore business processes to
effectively scale their business on demand, streamline and
centralize desktop management, and provide end-users with a
standardized and secure desktop experience across the LAN and
WAN.
With the ability to safely migrate data across physical, virtual
and cloud platforms, combined with file-level data protection and
system-level disaster recovery, Acronis Backup & Recovery® gives
users the flexibility to make a virtual desktop infrastructure
(VDI) deployment decision based on individual requirements and
budgets.
"Acronis offers an easy to use, single solution that addresses
the demands for not only deploying, but protecting data on the
VMware® View™ Business Process Desktop solution," said Mason Uyeda,
director, End User Computing Technical Marketing, VMware. "As a
network grows and components change, Acronis solutions can be used
to manage combinations of physical and virtual environments,
allowing customers to efficiently develop their VDI strategy."
By choosing Acronis Backup & Recovery® as a core component of
that solution, the level of data protection will not only match the
requirements of business continuity, but also meet raised user
expectations regarding ability to quickly recover data when
needed.
"There is no tolerance for downtime in today's business,"
commented Dmitri Joukovski, Vice President of Product Management at
Acronis. "The ability of Acronis to recover files and systems
quickly, and enable staged backups to the cloud is a critical need
for businesses looking for speed and efficiency."
