One of the South's Largest Public Utilities Expands its Installed Base of Acronis Software
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., January 18,
2005 Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage
management solutions, announced that the Combustion Turbine and
Fossil Generation Departments of Progress Energy, Inc based in
Raleigh, NC, and St. Petersburg, FL has incorporated Acronis
True Image 8.0 into its process control systems disaster recovery program. The
company improved its disaster recovery readiness by upgrading its
process control systems' computers to the latest release of the
Acronis software.
Progress Energy is one of the nation's largest
diversified energy companies, serving almost 3 million customers in
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.
"The Combustion Turbine and Fossil Generation
process control systems of Progress Energy are required to have a
backup and disaster recovery program that will insure the
continued, reliable operation of our generating plants seven days a
week, 365 days a year," said John C. Thomas, Progress Energy
Controls Engineer. "Acronis True Image exceeds our
expectations."
"Acronis recognizes that data is the fuel that
energizes corporations," said Max Tsypliaev, CEO of Acronis.
"Knowing that Progress Energy will be able to continue operating
with minimal interruption no mater what Mother Nature throws at
it or how often she throws it is why we make our
bare-metal restore and backup software the way we do. Hurricanes,
tornados, earthquakes and other natural disasters don't remind you
to back up your computers first. Having a plan in place and
executing it, as Progress Energy does, is the only way to be
prepared."
Financial terms of the agreement were not
released.
