Acronis Attends CeBIT 2017, Presents World’s Only Data Protection Solutions That Fully Meet Today’s Business Needs

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, 16.03.2017 - Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection and storage is proud to attend CeBIT 2017 in Hannover, Germany to present the world's first and only data protection solutions that fully meet today's business needs. Without Acronis' new innovative technology, businesses remain vulnerable to damaging cyber attacks, data tampering, and irreparable data loss.

Various studies indicate that one laptop is stolen every 53 seconds*, 390,000+ new malware programs are reported every day**, and 60 percent of companies close within six months of a data disaster***.

Acronis solutions, based on Acronis Hybrid Cloud architecture, address all these needs by combining backup, disaster recovery, anti-ransomware, and blockchain-based data verification technologies into unified, powerful, and easy products for personal and business use.

"CeBIT gives us a great opportunity to demonstrate the value of our innovative technology. The world is under attack form raging ransomware and catastrophic data loss. If you don't use Acronis solutions, you put yourself, your data, and your business at risk. Acronis has the most modern software, offering complete data protection and active defense against ransomware," said John Zanni, CMO at Acronis.

Acronis Backup 12 is the world's fastest and most complete small business backup, enabling businesses to protect all data, local and in the cloud with a single solution, single configuration, and a single interface.

Acronis Backup 12 has been well accepted by companies and organizations around the world, delivering over 40 percent growth in adoption in 2016. It is designed to enable businesses to remain in control of their data even when transitioning to the cloud or managing their hybrid cloud infrastructure.

"Small and midsize businesses worry about control, worry about security, and worry about cost. Tying things together in a comprehensive way gets harder as firms grow and data protection becomes an ever-bigger chore. Acronis has data control as a key product capability and SMBs will appreciate the ability to coordinate and manage diverse data," said Ray Boggs, Vice President, Small and Medium Business Research at IDC.

Acronis Backup 12 Advanced (scheduled for release in May 2017, public beta to be announced in April) is the world's easiest and fastest data protection for businesses of all sizes. Based on the same architecture, it brings advanced functionality to Acronis Backup 12, including

Acronis Backup Cloud is the most advanced hybrid cloud backup-as-a-service platform designed specifically for service providers. It is based on the same Acronis Hybrid Cloud architecture as Acronis Backup 12, offering complete protection of all business data.

Data Protection as a Service (DPaaS) Market is expected to reach $28,878 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 31.5% from 2016 to 2022. Cloud resellers and managed service providers using Acronis Backup Cloud make the most out of this lucrative market growth opportunity.

Acronis True Image is the ultimate destination for all personal data. It protects everything with full image backup on Windows and Mac computers: the operating system, programs, settings, files, and boot information. Acronis Hybrid Cloud architecture allows users to store created backups on external drives, NAS devices, network shares and in the cloud. The world's #1 personal backup comes with active protection against ransomware, Acronis Active Protection™, and Acronis Notary™ and Acronis ASign™ blockchain-based data signing and verification technology.

Acronis continues to support the Formula 1 team Scuderia Toro Rosso in 2017, promoting innovation, speed, and teamwork. Acronis will showcase their car from the previous year at the Acronis booth. The stunning car is just as impressive as the new STR12 for the actual season, which not only shows an amazing design but also incorporates new cutting edge technologies. A new engine, new tyres, new aerodynamics and an optimised data evaluation with Acronis solutions in the background will give the team the needed performance to surpass the competition.

"In our competitive environment it is becoming increasingly more important to protect all our technical information with a very high standard of software and Acronis can offer exactly what we need," said Franz Tost, Team Principal, Scuderia Toro Rosso.

Acronis products and solutions are available through all major distributors.

John Zanni, Acronis CMO and SVP Channel and Cloud Strategy and Thorsten Schwecke, Senior Director and General Manager, Acronis DACH, will be available for questions and interviews in hall 2, booth B33. Please contact our press team to arrange an appointment.
