Acronis Opens Arizona Office

Acronis International GmbH announced success and demand for its backup and DR products, based on its hybrid cloud architecture by service providers, hosters and customers.

As a result, the company opened a new technology center in Arizona, adding to its other US offices in Massachusetts, Virginia and California.

Located at the recently opened Quad office project, owned and managed by Everwest Real Estate Partners, LLC the new center in Scottsdale, AZ will contain the inside sales organization for Acronis. The City of Scottsdale Economic Development team assisted the company in facilitating the lease at the new building. Greater Phoenix Economic Council represented Everwest in the transaction.

“Acronis expanding its operation in Arizona is yet another example of how our state is the right place for a tech company to grow and scale its business,” said Arizona governor Doug Ducey. “Arizona has been planning for the future for a long time and offers a thriving economic climate that continues to attract leading tech firms.“

“Acronis is a perfect fit for Scottsdale and a great addition to a robust technology sector that continues to grow,” said mayor W.J. ‘Jim’ Lane. “We welcome the opportunity to work closely with the Acronis team as they ramp up their operation at the Quad.”

“Our business growth enabled us to make a strategic decision to bring our inside sales organization back in-house, where we will be able to further grow and provide amazing service to our customers,” said Pat Hurley, VP sales, Acronis. “Arizona is a wonderful state, ripe with talented people and a favorable business environment. We are excited for the future.“

Acronis was founded in 2003 in Singapore with a primary focus on offering data protection solutions to consumers, businesses and service providers. To meet the growth demands, the company expanded overseas, opening its corporate HQs in Schaffhausen, Switzerland and establishing presence in key markets, including U.S., Germany, Japan, Russia, and Australia.

“Cybersecurity is not only vitally important to our online future, it is a critical foundation that supports all our industries,” said Sandra Watson, president and CEO, Arizona Commerce Authority. “We are pleased to welcome Acronis to Arizona. They are joining many other top tech companies who recognize Arizona’s incredible pipeline of talent and highly competitive operating environment.”

“Acronis’s decision to expand their operations in Greater Phoenix allows them to join the already robust ecosystem of cybersecurity operations in our region,” said Chris Camacho, president and CEO, Greater Phoenix Economic Council. “Working together with our partners to showcase our talented workforce, reliable infrastructure and connectivity of local innovators, we were able to demonstrate to Acronis why Greater Phoenix is an ideal place to scale.”
