Next Release of Acronis Backup & Recovery® Will Feature
Remote Access to Cloud Backup from Any Web Device, and Disk to Disk
to Cloud Staging for Faster Back Up
VMworld 2012, San Francisco, CA, 27 August, 2012 -
Acronis, a leading provider of
disaster recovery and data protection solutions for physical,
virtual and cloud environments, today announced at VMworld 2012
that an upcoming feature in the next release of its flagship
Acronis Backup & Recovery® platform will give IT organizations a
new edge in data protection by allowing them to better leverage the
cloud for backup and recovery. The ability to remotely recover
files from a cloud backup through a web-based interface offers the
"anywhere-access" benefits of a cloud-based backup strategy to
enterprises of all sizes. In addition, Acronis has reduced the time
and effort required for using the cloud as a backup target by
introducing disk to disk to cloud staging into the Unified
Platform.
Acronis is demonstrating the cloud capabilities of the latest
Acronis Backup & Recovery beta build at booth #1701, opposite the
Solutions Theatre in the VMworld 2012 exhibition hall. The new
version release is expected to be available by the end of Q3
2012.
Using the cloud as a backup target has previously been a manual
process requiring a longer backup window. The enhanced staging
features, being introduced by Acronis, are providing automation of
disk to disk to cloud backup, shortening the backup window for the
live physical or virtual machines, and simplifying management of
both destinations. IT administrators can now get the benefits of
both local and cloud backup in a comprehensive, unified
experience.
"As enterprise environments become more diverse and management
options more complex, IT leaders are looking for cost-effective and
easy-to-use solutions that enable them to manage greater portions
of their infrastructures through a single pane of glass," commented
Dmitri Joukovski, vice president of product management for Acronis.
"The volume and velocity of corporate content creation and mobile
computing adoption are introducing new data challenges for IT
organizations, and, as a result, they need uncomplicated strategies
for data protection and storage optimization. Acronis is addressing
these needs with solutions optimized for increasing enterprise
cloud adoption."
To further reduce backup and disaster recovery management
complexity, Acronis is adding support for Microsoft® Exchange,
Active Directory®, SQL Server® and SharePoint® 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. This can offer a dramatic reduction in
management overhead and total cost of ownership, 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.
