Korea-Singapore, November 20th, 2015 -
Acronis®, a global leader in new generation data protection, today
announced the availability of Acronis Backup Cloud and the Acronis
Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA) Program in the Korean
market. Korean service providers can now take advantage of the
Acronis Backup Cloud offering to rapidly bring new data protection
services to market and grow revenue.
The cloud computing market in Korea was worth $558.8 million in
2014 and is expected to reach $677.5 million in 2015, growing 21%,
according to a recent LG CNS
study.
The strong growth in the cloud computing marketing in Korea is
expected to continue, following the Korean's government's support
for advanced cloud computing and infrastructure expansion. Korea's
recently adopted Act on Promotion of Cloud Computing and User
Protection, known as the Korean Cloud Act, identified the cloud as
key to innovation and operational efficiency and encouraged Korean
companies and organizations to implement cloud services.
Acronis meets the country's demand for cloud-enabled services by
enabling existing hosting companies and service integrators to
sell, manage and deliver high value data protection capabilities
that create new revenue streams without a large upfront
investment.
Acronis Backup Cloud for Service Providers
Acronis Backup Cloud is a comprehensive, yet simple, complete,
and cost-effective hybrid local and cloud backup and recovery
solution that equips service providers to solve their customers'
data protection problems. Leveraging the power of the Acronis
AnyData Engine, Acronis Backup Cloud delivers a highly customized,
complete, and reliable service that backs up data from any source
and recovers to any destination and system.
Designed for service providers, Acronis Cloud Backup provides a
pay-for-use model with zero entry costs and delivers complete
protection for business customers, including support for
workstations, Windows, Linux, physical and virtual servers.
Underscoring the growing trend of distributors building their
businesses by provisioning cloud services, existing and new
partners in Korea can now deliver Acronis Backup Cloud to local
customers.
"Acronis offers many opportunities for service providers,
including backup, secure file access and sharing and
disaster-recovery solutions. Acronis Backup Cloud gives them the
ability to offer advanced data protection to their customers with
an easily managed and monitored high-margin service that delivers
security and scalability," said Jan-Jaap Jager, General Manager of
the Acronis Cloud Business Unit.
Acronis SPLA Program Launched in Korea
The Acronis Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA) is
designed for service providers who want to license and host the
latest eligible Acronis data protection solutions to provide backup
and disaster recovery services to end customers directly or through
resellers.
The Acronis SPLA program covers Acronis Backup Advanced, Acronis
Backup Advanced for VCloud, and Acronis Storage products, which can
be licensed on a monthly basis to provide data protection and
disaster recovery as-a-service solutions to their end
customers.
"Korea is a very important market for Acronis. We have a number
of high profile customers here and our business continues to grow
rapidly ever since we opened Acronis Korea branch in 2009. Acronis
Backup Cloud and the availability of Acronis SPLA program in Korea
will be welcomed by local service providers, who are keen to secure
their share of this rapidly-growing cloud services market," said
Sunny Suh, Acronis Korea Country Manager.
