December 14, 2006, Burlington, MA
Acronis, Inc. (www.acronis.com), the technological
leader in storage management software, announced it has expanded
its joint development and marketing relationship with SWsoft Inc.
by providing the automation and virtualization software vendor with
OEM versions of Acronis True Image Server for Linux and Windows.
The software will work with the SWsoft Plesk 8.1 control panel
software. The stand-alone solution, which also works with other
control panels, enables service providers to offer back-up and
recovery capabilities with dedicated hosting packages.
Two versions of the software will be available
exclusively through SWsoft. Acronis True Image Light provides basic
system protection and recovery of servers with minimal downtime,
while Acronis True Image Pro is a comprehensive version that gives
service providers more protection and functionality including
remote back-ups, incremental back-ups, high compression capability,
back-up sharing across networks and more.
"Acronis and SWsoft have a long history of
working together to deliver comprehensive, high-performance
software solutions for the hosting industry," said Serg Bell, CEO
of the Herndon, VA-based SWsoft. "This partnership supports
our OPEN FUSION strategy to create a unified hosting ecosystem by
advancing the integration of SWsoft products with a range of
systems, applications and solutions."
"For more than two years now, Acronis has been
focusing intensely on delivering enterprise-class virtualization
tools," said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "This agreement builds
on the joint development partnership the companies announced in
September 2004 and incorporates SWsoft's Open Fusion technology
initiative into our next-generation Acronis True Image Server
applications for Windows and Linux. This could not have been done
without the cooperation of the engineering resources of SWsoft's
Developer Network."
Terms of the agreement were not released.
