New Acronis Cloud Backup Solutions in Middle East Markets

Acronis International GmbH announced the availability of two cloud backup solutions in Middle East markets.

Company’s Backup Cloud enables service providers to sell, manage and deliver high value data protection and backup capabilities that create new revenue streams without a large upfront investment.

Backup Service provides businesses with local and cloud backup services with bare metal recovery to any destination or system that can be purchased online directly from Acronis or from its resellers and partners with company’s hosting and managing the services in an Acronis Data Center.

Backup Cloud: Safe, secure, scalable offsite backup and DR
It is a multi-tier/multi-tenant solution, providing local and hybrid storage of backed up data, local backup on customer premises, and local recovery plus recovery from the cloud. The service provides advanced security, including SSL encryption of management channels and in-transit and at-rest AES256 data encryption. Acronis has provided reliable cloud backup since 2010, and it recently opened data centres in Australia, Germany, Japan and the UK to complement those in place in the United States, France, Russia and Singapore.

Service providers across the globe have adopted company’s Backup Cloud to expand their service portfolios to include backup and recovery. The Acronis service is easy to adopt, provides a pay-for-use model and delivers complete protection including support for workstations, Windows, Linux, physical and virtual servers. Underscoring the growing trend of distributors building their businesses by provisioning cloud services, such market players are now delivering Backup Cloud through their cloud services division.

“Opportunities currently abound for service providers providing cloud offers, including backup, secure file access, sync and sharing and DR solutions,” said John Zanni, SVP, cloud solutions, Acronis. “Acronis Backup Cloud gives them the ability to offer easy, complete and safe advanced data protection solution to their customers with a managed and monitored high-margin service that delivers security and scalability.“

Backup Service: Backup data from any source and recover to any destination
Backup Service solves key data protection challenges with a complete and easy-to-manage service that provides backup from any source, and data recovery to any destination and system. It enables organizations to capture, store, recover, control and access data in virtual, physical, cloud, and mobile environments – using one centralized web-based management console. The solution backups physical and virtual servers and workstations to local storage or to Acronis’ secure data centers. Backup Service recovers individual files and HDDs, as well as entire systems. The easy-to-use web interface also reduces the IT team’s workload.

“Acronis Backup Service is specifically designed to support end user cloud backup needs, as well as our partners without data centres that want to reinforce their backup portfolio,” added Zanni. “Acronis Backup Service is an ideal fit for Acronis distributors and resellers as it allows them to offer cloud backup and recovery services for all leading infrastructure platforms with no upfront costs and without changing the way they sell and do business.“
