August 21, 2007, Barcelona - IT solution
providers now have the confidence associated with the easy backup
and restore capabilities of Acronis SAS (www.acronis.com/es-mx/), a leading developer of
storage management software, and they can also take comfort in
knowing that they can proactively monitor this solution on behalf
of their clients through Level Platforms' award-winning software,
Managed Workplace.
Acronis and LPI Level Platforms Inc., a leader
in managed services software for IT solution providers servicing
small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs), now provide the ability to
monitor and manage Acronis' award-winning, image-based backup and
recovery software remotely. Through the integration of Acronis True
Image with Level Platforms Managed Workplace, solution providers
will be able to assess performance and availability of Acronis True
Image in their customers' locations.
Using Acronis True Image, customers can create
an exact duplicate image of the live disk drives on servers or
workstations, including the operating system, all configuration
files, programs, updates, and databases. The image can be saved to
internal or external disk drives (including USB 2.0 and FireWire),
networked drives (NAS, SAN), RAID controllers, writable CD or DVD,
SCSI tape drives, or even FTP servers, including the ability to
create transportable images that can be restored universally to
dissimilar hardware using Acronis Universal Restore.. It can also
be saved to the same disk being imaged using Acronis Secure
Zone.
The image can be used for any number of
purposes, including disaster recovery, data backup, disk cloning,
and migration to virtual machine environments.
"Customers put faith in our counsel, and the
technology and service we provide every day," said Chip Reaves, CEO
of Computer Troubleshooters, a network of 450 franchisees worldwide
providing computer and technology solutions to small-business
owners, home office workers and residential customers - and a
customer of Level Platforms and Acronis. "It is invaluable to us
that we have the best tools to keep our customers running smoothly
and, if there is a problem, get them back in working order as
quickly as possible."
Proven in more than 38,000 worldwide customer
sites for disaster recovery and deployment scenarios, Acronis True
Image is easy-to-use and deploy, optimizing productivity and
delivering an immediate return on investment. Customers can restore
their systems in minutes, not hours or days and reduce the costs of
system recovery and deployment. More than 2,500 solution providers
in 23 countries use Level Platform's software, Managed Workplace,
to provide high performance managed services to their SMB
customers, allowing them to reduce service/support costs, create
new, recurring and highly profitable revenue streams, as well as,
increase end customer satisfaction.
"We are excited about partnering with Acronis,
as we have received numerous requests from the solutions providers
for the ability to monitor Acronis True Image," said Ryck
Marciniak, Director of Vendor Alliance. "Our partnership with
Acronis and the associated product integration addresses a
significant need in the channel, and IT solution providers now have
a comprehensive solution provided by two of the leading companies
in the industry."
"Backup and recovery is an important managed
service that solutions providers offer their customers," said Eric
Dougherty, Director of Channel Sales for Acronis. "Partnering with
Level Platforms gives resellers and their customers the security of
knowing that they are able to easily prepare for and recover from
technology failures."
