The new facility ensures faster access, greater data
resiliency, and data sovereignty for service provider clients,
while empowering MSPs with comprehensive cyber protection
solutions
SINGAPORE, 29 October 2020 - Acronis, a global leader in cyber
protection, today announced the availability of a new Acronis Cloud
Data Centre in Auckland, New Zealand. One of the 111 new data
centres being deployed by the company, it gives service provider
partners access to a full range of cyber protection solutions upon
which they can build new services while delivering faster access,
constant data availability, and data sovereignty to their clients.
The global network of Acronis Cloud Data Centres already
includes locations in the U.S., U.K., Switzerland, France, Germany,
Japan, Australia, Canada, and Singapore. With the new data centre
in Auckland, local service providers have a location in their
country where they can store business-critical data for their
clients. Managed service providers (MSPs) also stand to benefit
from the full range of managed cloud solutions and cyber protection
solutions available via the
Acronis Cyber Cloud platform.
Neil Morarji, Acronis General Manager in APAC, said, "It was
something our partners have wanted for a while - to have an Acronis
Cloud Data Centre in New Zealand. Now they can safeguard client
data locally knowing they are backed by a global partner who is on
standby 24x7x365 to address any issues. With our global network of
data centres, we will be able to match the exploding data footprint
and deliver our best cyber protection solutions to service
providers and their clients."
All Acronis Cloud Data Centres are designed to meet and exceed
corporate and regulatory requirements. The Global/Local Initiative,
as announced at the Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2020, includes
global management for all data centres, geographic redundancy,
control for local partners, and a local disaster recovery site -
all with competitive pricing. As a result, service providers will
have no trouble meeting the ever-changing compliance, data
sovereignty, and performance requirements.
"With its excellent connectivity and geographically advantageous
position, New Zealand is increasingly seen as a destination for the
data centres of forward-looking global internet companies. Cyber
protection is a core requirement for every organisation today, and
with its establishment of the Acronis Cloud Data Centre, our
resellers and their customers across the country can look forward
to locally-hosted cyber protection solutions to keep information
safe," says Barbara Kidd, General Manager, Ingram Micro Cloud
NZ.
"Where data resides and ensuring information remains secure has
become increasingly important to our partner community. We are
proud to align with companies that are focused on delivering local
data security and business continuity solutions to our partners.
The investment Acronis is making in the new cloud data centre will
give partners peace of mind that data is being managed securely and
in line with best practice cyber protection solutions," said
Dominic O'Hanlon, CEO of Rhipe.
Among the solutions now available through the new data centre is
Acronis
Cyber Protect, a unique integration of backup, disaster
recovery, next-gen antimalware, cybersecurity, and endpoint
management tools - all managed via a single pane of glass. The
solution is VB100 certified and its unique capabilities recently
earned Acronis Cyber Protect
the 2020 New Product Innovation Award for Data Protection from
Frost & Sullivan.
All of Acronis solutions are designed to address the Five
