Latest Release of Acronis Backup & Recovery® Eases Cloud
Backup Adoption, Increases Enterprise Application Support And
Reduces TCO and Management Burden
Woburn, MA, September 5, 2012 - Acronis, a leading provider of
disaster recovery and data protection solutions for physical,
virtual and cloud environments, today announced an advanced,
flexible unified platform for data protection and disaster recovery
with its latest release of Acronis Backup &
Recovery®. Acronis' innovative unified platform can grow and
develop with the dynamic needs of enterprise networks, while
reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) and delivering a faster,
more efficient and comprehensive data protection strategy.
The advanced unified platform of Acronis Backup & Recovery®
enables customers to purchase licenses for only the agents and
application support they need today, with the ability to access
more functionality 'on demand' as their environment changes. This
can dramatically reduce the management burden of procuring,
learning and integrating additional products as networks evolve,
thereby reducing time and cost with one solution that can be
managed across physical, virtual and cloud environments.
"The fast pace of change within a corporate environment is
introducing new challenges for disaster recovery," said Dave
Russell, research vice president, Gartner. "Big Data, storage
virtualization, cloud-based backup and a continued reliance on tape
and disk means that IT organizations need to respond quickly to
user demands for system and data availability. Moving systems and
data securely between multiple platforms without extended
disruption to employee productivity is a mandatory requirement
today."
Acronis is also addressing the increased adoption of cloud
infrastructure for storage optimization by introducing
disk-to-disk-to-cloud staging into its unified backup and recovery
platform. Automated disk-to-disk to-cloud backup shortens the
backup window for live physical and virtual machines and simplifies
management of both destinations. With Acronis Backup & Recovery, IT
administrators can now get the benefits of both local and cloud
backup in a comprehensive, unified experience.
"We launched Acronis Backup &
Recovery in June 2011 as a single solution for hybrid
enterprise environments," commented Dmitri Joukovski, vice
president of product management for Acronis. "Today, the volume and
velocity of corporate content creation and mobile computing
adoption are introducing new data challenges for IT organizations,
and, as a result, uncomplicated and flexible solutions for data
protection and storage optimization across multiple environments
are in demand. The integrated, yet modular approach of Acronis can
give IT organizations the confidence that whatever network
development they may face tomorrow, easy access and availability of
their protected data, no matter where it resides, can be achieved."
The new functionality upgrade also includes granular recovery
for Microsoft® Exchange and the option to buy support for
Microsoft® Exchange Server, in addition to the support for Active
Directory®, SQL Server® and SharePoint® applications relied on by
enterprises worldwide, that are already included within the Acronis
Backup & Recovery® unified platform.
Acronis Backup & Recovery is a unified platform from which an
organization can centrally manage data protection and disaster
recovery tasks for physical, virtual and cloud environments from a
single management console, and move data between environments
quickly and easily. This can offer a dramatic reduction in
management overhead and TCO, as the platform can manage Windows®
and Linux, and all major hypervisors including Red Hat® Enterprise
Virtualization, VMware® vSphere™, Windows® Hyper-V™, Citrix® and
Parallels®, and integrates with Acronis Cloud storage in one
installation. By using same technology in all environments, Acronis
is one of the few vendors who enable the recovery of machines to
dissimilar hardware, and between physical and virtual
environments.
