New strategic partnership helps Acronis expand access to
public cloud for easy backup storage and disaster recovery.
Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection and
storage, today announced a new strategic partnership with Google
Cloud, revealing plans to enhance Acronis backup solutions by
integrating with Google Cloud Platform.
The new agreement will significantly increase the number of
cloud regions where Acronis' partners and customers can store their
data. It will bring fast upload speeds and data sovereignty options
to users in a greater number of countries.
Google Cloud Platform will be integrated into future releases of
Acronis' backup,
disaster recovery, and file
sync and share solutions. This enhancement will allow Acronis'
partners to grow their businesses by offering easy and fast data
protection services to millions of customers who already use Google
Cloud Platform.
Easy access to Google Cloud Platform will also help users reduce
their Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and achieve Service Level
Agreement (SLA) targets, especially in disaster recovery
situations.
"The integration of Google Cloud with Acronis backup products is
one of the top requests from our users," said John Zanni, Acronis
President. "There are many businesses who have invested in public
cloud infrastructure. We're making it easy for them to use it with
Acronis."
As part of this integration, Acronis plans to extend the support
for Google Cloud workloads, offer a Google Cloud deployment model
for the Acronis Backup management server, and enable the use of
Google Cloud Platform for disaster recovery.
This enhancement provides new opportunities and an additional
level of flexibility for Acronis' partners, who will be able to
help customers meet their data protection needs by running on
Google Cloud Platform.
Acronis' data
protection solutions already offer native integration with a
number of public cloud vendors, popular hosting automation
platforms, and remote monitoring and management tools. Acronis
products are built for the cloud and are designed to protect all
data in all environments, including cloud workloads, data centers,
on-premise, remote offices, and mobile devices.
Today's partnership with Google Cloud is a logical step in
Acronis' commitment to providing partners and customers both the
most comprehensive data protection and most flexible data
management options available.
The partnership's benefits also extend to Google, who will
welcome thousands of Acronis' partners, potentially increasing its
penetration in the mid-market.
"We are seeing an increasing number of customers take advantage
of our storage products for data protection because they offer
better flexibility, performance and economics," said Adam Massey,
Director, Strategic Technology Partners, Google Cloud. "By
partnering with Acronis, an established leader in the industry, we
hope to make the customers data protection journey even
easier."
