Giacom Adds Acronis Backup Files to Portfolio

Established since 1999, the Hull-based cloud distributor Giacom World Networks Ltd has developed MessageStream, which is one of Europe’s largest reseller-only cloud marketplaces and home to more than 4,000 partners.

MessageStream cloud marketplace delivers a range of cloud services that are ready for resellers to brand and sell to their clients.

According to Technavio, the cloud backup and recovery software market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 13% from 2016-2020.*

With Acronis International GmbH, Giacom will be able to help its partners to take advantage of this potential business growth opportunity.

“We’re delighted to extend our relationship with Acronis and add further backup and file sync and share solutions into the MessageStream cloud marketplace in the coming months,” said Nick Marshall, founder and CEO, Giacom. “Our partners are looking for new and exciting services to deliver to their business clients, and we’re convinced Acronis is perfectly aligned to our ambitions and scale.“

Unlike other vendors whose products are limited to certain computer environments and devices, Acronis technology, based on the new hybrid cloud architecture, delivers a customised and reliable service that backups data from any source, in virtually any IT environment, and recovers to any destination and system.

“Giacom is one of our most valued partners and this new agreement will benefit all parties concerned,” said Jakob Olsen, VP and MD, Europe, Acronis. “By purchasing Acronis products through Giacom, partners and customers can simplify their data management and reduce the cost associated with data protection and file sync and share.“
