Acronis, a global leader in next-generation data protection solutions, announced that it has entered into a technology partnership with leading football team Manchester City Football Club. The partnership will include collaboration to streamline backup and data storage processes.
In the world of elite football, all teams must rely on data to analyze and improve their performance. Building a winning strategy involves a detailed analysis of a range of key elements, including passes, ball control, plays, the behavior of individual players in various situations, and much more. These areas are carefully studied before, during and after every match so that teams can gain a competitive advantage over their opponents.
Acronis' partnership with the reigning English Premier League champion will make it possible to optimize data management across the entire organization. With data, applications and systems reliably backed up and ready for immediate recovery, new opportunities are opening up to work with available information in order to achieve new goals.
“At the highest level of competitiveness, data makes the difference,” said John Zanni, President of Acronis. “Acronis technologies are ideal for heavily used, highly competitive digital environments. We are proud partners of Manchester City and look forward to joint projects in the future. We firmly believe that this partnership will benefit Manchester City, Acronis, and all our partners and customers.”
In the current digital era, technology and especially data are becoming an increasingly important factor in the performance of sports teams. In the period before important matches, coaches can use iPads to present their players in the locker room with important up-to-date information, including historical comparisons, make last-minute decisions, and examine data during post-match analysis.
“We are delighted to announce our partnership with Acronis,” said Damian Willoughby, Senior Vice President of Partnerships at City Football Group. “A football club like Manchester City generates huge volumes of data every day, covering all areas – from players and our fans to everyday business transactions. Acronis' know-how will help us improve our data storage and backup processes. Acronis shares our passion for innovation and the use of the latest technologies, and we look forward to the results of our collaboration.”
The partnership will also include cooperation between both entities on the Acronis Foundation project focused on building schools in developing countries.
