OWC in Partnership With Acronis

OWC (Other World Computing, Inc.) announces a partnership with Acronis International GmbH, making Acronis True Image OEM software available on its storage solutions that include SoftRAID now and will consist of additional or all its storage solutions in the future.

Integrating backup and recovery with AI-enhanced anti-ransomware technology, Acronis’ solution ensures that a user’s digital life is protected – photos, files, applications, OSs, and the devices they’re on.

Backing up and protecting data is important, yet too often the task falls to the bottom of the to-do list. True Image OEM is designed to complement a user’s existing workflow. And with ransomware targeting backup files and processes, it is a solution to unify backup and anti-ransomware capabilities in one to ensure data is protected from accidents, failures, and cyberattacks.

From set and forget backups that run at specific times during the day, week, or month to backups created regularly as data changes, True Image OEM ensures a reliable copy of data is available for a fast recovery. If an issue occurs, restores of individual files or the entire system can be handled in a few clicks.

“OWC has partnered with Acronis to bring the number one personal backup software to your workflow along with industry-leading antimalware protection,” said Larry O’Connor, CEO and founder, OWC. “Adding True Image Technology to our OWC storage solutions is truly amazing. This partnership will tremendously add to our customers feeling their data is safe and protected for years to come.“

The solution unites backup with AI-enhanced anti-ransomware technology, called Acronis Active Protection, which constantly monitors the system with behavioral heuristics to detect and stop ransomware and crypto-jacking attacks in real-time. It continuously observes patterns in how data files change on a system, distinguishing between typical, expected behavior and those patterns that may signal hostile actions. The integrated solution is effective, stopping more than 600,000 ransomware attacks last year and topping testing by independent cybersecurity labs.

True Image OEM highlights:

Efficient: Create set and forget backups, while recovering and restoring files and folders quickly
Secure: Stop ransomware and crypto-jacking attacks from harming device data, backup files, and the application itself

“The partnership between OWC and Acronis is a match made in heaven as the world’s only personal cyber protection solution Acronis True Image is now available pre-installed on the industry leading OWC storage solutions including SoftRAID,” said Alexander Pantos, senior director WW prosumer channel development, Acronis. “Allowing OWC’s creative pros to use one solution to secure all their valuable data across all their devices – regardless of the platform – through a single pane of glass.
