Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection and
storage and Egenera, a leading provider of wholesale cloud services
to the channel, today announced a new technology partnership that
will enable Egenera to deliver Acronis Backup Cloud as part of
Xterity, its wholesale managed cloud service. The partnership will
leverage Acronis' technological advances in data protection, giving
Egenera's partners the convenience to protect all types of customer
data with a single solution.
Adding Acronis Backup Cloud technology into Egenera's Backup as
a Service (BaaS) further simplifies backup deployment, performance
and flexibility for partners. Egenera provides the training,
management tools and marketing collateral to help its service
provider partners meet customer data protection needs, increase
customer retention and generate new income.
"We're excited to deliver Acronis Backup Cloud to our network of
over 200 partners worldwide," said Pete Manca, president and CEO of
Egenera. "It's a trusted, robust solution and our partners are
looking forward to offering it to their end user customers."
Acronis Backup Cloud is the world's only data protection
solution specifically developed for service providers, web hosting
companies and cloud resellers. It comes with multi-tenant and
multi-tier management capabilities and offers full protection of
all data, including servers, computers, mobile devices, Microsoft
Microsoft 365 accounts, websites, and applications in physical,
virtual and cloud environments.
According to the Hosting and Cloud Study 2017 conducted by 451
Research and released by Microsoft, backup and recovery services
hold the top position among the managed services used by
organizations last year. Egenera's partners and service providers
are in a prime position to protect their customers' data and build
their business with Egenera's support and Acronis' innovative
technology.
"Built on the award-winning Acronis hybrid cloud architecture,
Acronis Backup Cloud is the only solution that was purpose built
for service providers from the ground up," said John Zanni, Chief
Marketing Officer, Acronis. "Egenera's partners now have a
leading-edge platform to capture new business by providing the
much-needed data protection services to their customers."
