Indonesia, Jakarta,
Aug 19, 2021 - Acronis announced today that it has added PT.
Synnex Metrodata Indonesia, a market leader in ICT products and
solutions distributor in Indonesia, as a distributor for Indonesia,
and a partnerdelivering the Acronis Cyber Cloud Data Center in
Indonesia.
Acronis continues to intensify its investments and development
in the Indonesian market, one of Acronis' key focuses in
APAC, the fastest growing region. The opening of the Indonesian
data center is part of the company's Global/Local Initiative, which
includes global management for all data centers, 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.
Synnex Metrodata Indonesia (SMI), a subsidiary of Metrodata
Group, with a network spanning across 20 strategic areas in
Indonesia covering 150+ cities, and 5200+ channel partners will now
get Acronis comprehensive range of cyber protection solutions to
users easily.
"As the market is moving forward rapidly to cloud solutions,
Acronis' high-quality, cloud-based backup and cybersecurity
software meets a critical need to secure the many remote workers in
the current pandemic world," Lie Heng, Solution Business
Director of PT Synnex Metrodata Indonesia. "We are excited to
represent Acronis to bring integrated cyber protection solutions to
Indonesia especially with the new Acronis cloud data center being
launched in Jakarta. Through our partnership with Acronis we will
be able to unlock opportunities such as providing the most
comprehensive cyber protection solution for our partners and
customers, while providing efficiency, performance and
reliability."
Acronis Cyber Protection solutions address the Five Vectors of
Cyber Protection - ensuring the safety, accessibility, privacy,
authenticity, and security (SAPAS) of data. This unique approach
helps customers protect all of their data, applications, and
systems, ensuring effective cyber protection and data management in
the data center, cloud, and edge devices.
This comprehensive approach to cyber protection is increasingly
important for organizations trying to succeed in today's IT
industry. As revealed in Acronis' recently released Cyberthreats
Report Mid-year 2021 update, four out of five organizations
experienced a cybersecurity breach originating from a vulnerability
in their third-party vendor ecosystem in just the first half of
2021. At the same time, the average cost of a data breach rose to
around $3.56 million, with the average ransomware payment jumping
33 percent - to more than $100,000.
"In the wake of the fast-paced changes in Indonesian IT
requirements, organizations are seeking modern solutions to modern
cyber challenges." Aviantri Faiza, Acronis Indonesia Channel
Head. "Having established more than four decades ago, SMI has
shown impeccable performance as the largest and most innovative ICT
distributor in Indonesia, with the biggest coverage and reliable
business infrastructure system. We look forward to building a
strong partnership with SMI and expanding Acronis' footprint in
Indonesia."
Among the solutions now available through the new data center 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 earned

is also booming: number of our Service Provider partners has
surpassed 10,000 and keeps growing rapidly across the world," said
Neil Morarji, Acronis General Manager in APAC. "Indonesia is
one of Acronis' key focuses in APAC, the fastest growing region. We
have poured a large portion of recent $250 million investment into
the Indonesian channel market and we will continue to help our
partners expand their cyber protection capabilities."

than
$250 million funding round from CVC Capital Partners VII and
other investors, putting their valuation at $2.5 billion. The
