Acronis® vmProtect™ Assessed to be the
Best Price for Performance Investment on the Market, Using Half the
Virtual Infrastructure Resources than a Competing Backup and
Disaster Recovery Product
WOBURN, MA - June 20, 2012 - Acronis, a
leading provider of disaster recovery and data protection solutions
for physical, virtual and cloud environments, today released a new
Technology Validation report from analyst firm Taneja Group: "Virtual
Backup: Twice as Easy, With Half the Overhead." Led by Taneja
Group Senior Analyst and Consultant Jeff Boles, the
report concludes that for reliable backup and recovery of
VMware® vSphere™ servers, Acronis® vmProtect™
offers a faster, more efficient and easier to use alternative to
more widely known products on the market today.
When compared directly to a competing backup and disaster
recovery product, Taneja Group discovered that AcronisvmProtect is
8 times faster to install, 25 percent faster in multi-VM backup job
completion and 5 times faster to recover Exchange items. It also
found that Acronis vmProtect uses half of the vRAM required for
installation, further increasing efficiency on the network.
"A business' ability to quickly and seamlessly recover critical
data and applications could potentially make or break its future
success," said Boles. "To ensure the least amount of loss in the
event of downtime, many IT professionals are already realizing the
advantages of Acronis vmProtect. With vmProtect, we found that
backups are not only performed quickly, but with significantly less
resources than competing products on the market. This makes Acronis
the logical choice for cost-effective data protection and business
continuity planning."
VMware is estimated by industry analysts to command between 50
percent and 80 percent of global market share for hypervisor
deployment, and the Acronis
Disaster Recovery Report showed that businesses under 1000
seats have accelerated their adoption of virtualization, ahead now
of similar projects in the enterprise.
"Since the inception of vmProtect our goal has been to deliver a
product for organizations with limited IT resources that was
optimized for VMware vSphere. vmProtect is fast and easy to use,
reducing the learning curve and reducing margin for human error,"
said Dmitri Joukovski, vice president, product management at
Acronis. "This latest Taneja Group report validates our technology
as leading the backup and recovery market and shows we have
successfully delivered a backup and disaster recovery product that
performs with unprecedented efficiency."
