Acronis - Plesk partnership gives web hosters an opportunity
to increase average revenue per user and reduce support calls by
allowing web professionals and IT admins to back up and restore
their own data.
Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection and
storage, today announced that Plesk, a leading WebOps platform,
will now incorporate Acronis
Backup Cloud into its website management platform and control
panel, giving hosting and cloud service providers an easy way to
back up Plesk servers and allowing web professionals and IT admins
to restore their own data.
To protect Plesk servers, service providers just have to install
the Acronis Backup Cloud agent on their physical servers and
virtual machines and add the Acronis Backup
Cloud extension to the Plesk user interface.
Acronis
Backup Cloud is a powerful hybrid cloud backup-as-a-service
solution specifically developed for service providers. It offers
complete business protection and allows users to store data
locally, in the Acronis cloud, or the service provider's
datacenter. It is part of Acronis
Data Cloud platform, which also includes disaster recovery,
storage, and file sync and share services.
Acronis Backup Cloud integration with Plesk brings a wealth of
benefits to web professionals and service providers alike:
Service providers can run full image server backups, storing
them in the Acronis Cloud, and use backup files for disaster
recovery or server migration. Server backups are visible in the
Plesk UI, allowing server administrators to run backups, manage
backup space, and offer self-service capabilities to customers for
a fee. Web professionals can use the familiar Plesk UI to restore
their own server environments, files, emails and databases in a
secure way.
Website security is a growing concern. Cyber criminals take
advantage of
website vulnerabilities to inject malicious code and distribute
malware, making website files difficult to clean. Files can also be
accidentally deleted or lost following an account suspension. This
makes backup the only reliable method to ensure site availability
and avoid permanent data loss.
"Web professionals understand the importance of protecting their
websites but are often intimidated by the complexity of traditional
solutions. Acronis Backup Cloud addresses that head on with a one
click solution. Once enabled, hosting customers can perform
granular self-service recovery of a website or individual files,
mailboxes, and databases without contacting support," said John
Zanni, President of Acronis.
"Partnering with Acronis we bring the world's best cloud backup
solution to millions of Plesk users. "Backup and Restore is no
longer a nice-to-have for websites, but a must-have," said Nils
Hueneke, CEO at Plesk.
