Hosting providers standardize on Acronis True Image to provide disaster recovery capabilities to their customers
May 10, 2005, South San Francisco, CA
Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage management
software, announced that it is now offering Web hosting providers
with the ability to make Acronis True Image available to their
customers as a value-added service. Now, hosting companies can
image customer's Web and mail servers automatically, providing the
customer with an exact duplicate image of their server as part of a
disaster recovery and business continuity strategy.
Two hosting providers partnered with Acronis to
launch the Service Provider Licensing program: 4Service Inc. of
Encino, CA, and Wyre Forest Computer Solutions (WFCS) Ltd. of
Worcestershire, UK.
"4Service specializes in disaster
recovery/offsite data/business continuity and our clientele is
primarily small and midsize businesses," said Andreas Raab,
director of professional services at 4Service Inc. "We see it as
our responsibility to provide services that help keep them in
business and reduce their risk, and utilizing Acronis, we can
accomplish this task.
"Only 38 percent of businesses have any kind of
business continuity plan in place to keep them operating in the
event of a disaster or disruption, according to the market research
firm Dynamic Markets Ltd.," he added. "We see it as our value add
to provide that disaster recovery and business continuity
capability so that our customers won't suffer significant losses
should their servers be lost due to a man-made or natural
disaster."
"WFCS takes its customers' business welfare very
seriously," said Paul Sillars, CEO of Wyre Forest Computer
Solutions. "Data loss can be devastating to a company, large or
small. We are building a special web site, www.serversimplicity.com, in order to provide
world-class business continuity and disaster recovery
solutions to our Web-based clients.
"Hosting providers become very close to their
customers, since our business continuity plans will track closely
with theirs. We've tested the disaster recovery offerings and we
selected Acronis True Image for our customers because we know it's
the most reliable and most efficient product in its class.
Customers appreciate the forethought we put into developing
services to make their businesses more efficient, and this is one
more example of how we work to provide the best service possible
for our customers."
"Hosting providers are more than just commodity
vendor," said Max Tsypliaev, CEO of Acronis. "They are business
partners with their customers, providing them with mission-critical
outsourced services. By adding disk imaging disaster recovery and
backup to their customers, they can ensure that should any
significant problem befall the customer's hard disk, the hosting
provider will have them up and running again in minutes, not hours
or days."
"Acronis is known for its traditional retail and
distribution operations," said Luis Andrade, director of OEM
channel sales and business development. "This service is helping to
expand the definition of the channel to reflect its evolution.
Manufacturers, business partners and end users are becoming closer
than ever, and this is one more example where service providers can
bring enterprise-class solutions to small- and mid-size
businesses."
Terms of the agreements were not released.
