Acronis Launches First Cloud Data Center in Indonesia, opens way to Complete Control Over Data

Acronis, the global leader in cyber protection, today announced the availability of a new Acronis Cyber Cloud Data Center in Indonesia. The new data center, one of the 111 new data centers being deployed by the company, 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.

Having these capabilities is key for Indonesian service providers today, as cyberthreats loom over the business landscape and data accessibility, privacy, and compliance demands grow. For example, according to Government Regulation No. 82 of 2012 concerning the Implementation of Electronic Systems and Transactions, Ministry of Communication and Information (Kemenkominfo) stated that strategic data such as those related to state security and intelligence, or population data, are to be stored domestically.

"Given the disastrous impact of cyber-attacks and with the cyber threat landscape constantly evolving - cyberattacks in Indonesia almost doubled to more than 495 million (according to National Cyber and Encryption Agency (BSSN)) - cyber protection and data compliancy are among the top priorities for companies in Indonesia." said Rendy Maulana Akbar, Chairman of Association Cloud Hosting Indonesia. "We are excited to have a globally known cyber protection vendor, Acronis, launch a local data center here. Now, Indonesian companies will be able to store their strategic data in the country ."

The opening of the Indonesian data center is part of the Acronis Global/Local Initiative, an effort which includes global management for all data centers, geographic redundancy, control for local partners, and a local disaster recovery site - all with competitive pricing. The goal of this initiative is that service providers will have no trouble meeting the ever-changing compliance, data sovereignty, and performance requirements they and their clients face.

The global network of Acronis Cyber Cloud Data Centers already includes locations in the in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Switzerland, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Bhutan, South Korea, India, and Singapore. With the new data center in Indonesia, local service providers will have a location within the country where they can store business-critical data for their clients. Managed service providers (MSPs) will also benefit from the full range of managed cloud solutions and cyber protection solutions available via the Acronis Cyber Cloud platform.

"A local presence is an absolute necessity for modern cloud businesses and we are proud to deliver the Acronis Cyber Cloud Data Center in Indonesia, one of Acronis' key focuses in APAC, the fastest growing region," said Neil Morarji, Acronis General Manager in APAC. "This is something our partners have wanted for a while - to have an Acronis Cloud Data Center in Indonesia. Now they can safeguard client data locally and know that they are backed by a global partner who is on standby 24/7/365 to address any issues. With our global network of data centers, we will be able to match the exploding data footprint and deliver our best cyber protection solutions to service providers and their clients."

This comprehensive, local approach to cyber protection is increasingly important for modern organizations trying to succeed in IT. 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.

Among the solutions now available through the new data center is Acronis Cyber Protect, a unique integration of backup, disaster recovery, next-gen anti-malware, cybersecurity, and endpoint management tools - all managed via a single pane of glass. The solution is VB100 certified and its unique capabilities earned Acronis Cyber Protect the 2020 New Product Innovation Award for Data Protection from Frost & Sullivan.

Acronis partners in Indonesia expressed excitement about the new capabilities and opportunities the new data center will enable them to offer to their customers.

"Acronis is an important partner for Datacomm and this launch is yet another example of its commitment and firm positioning with data security and business continuity for Indonesian customers and companies. We are proud to align with companies that are focused on delivering local data security and business continuity solutions to our partners," says Tan Wie Tjin, President Director at Datacomm Diangraha.

"Taking control of one's data has never been more important, and cyber protection is a basic requirement for every organisation today. Where data resides and ensuring information remains secure have become increasingly important to our partner communities. Our partners and their customers across the country can look forward to locally-hosted cyber protection solutions that will give them peace of mind and security", says Rudy Setiawan, CIO at Wowrack.

"We live in times when the market is moving forward rapidly to cloud solutions, data sovereignty is just as important as sovereignty of one's territory. In the current pandemic world, the investment by Acronis into a new cloud data center guarantees that critical needs of remote workers are being met," says Lie Heng, Solution Business Director of PT Synnex Metrodata Indonesia.
