Acronis has announced the availability of Acronis Data Cloud, a unified platform for all current and future cloud services that Acronis will bring to the service provider market. By integrating Acronis Data Cloud, service providers gain immediate access to all available solutions without the need for complex integration of each service separately:
- Acronis Backup Cloud – the world's most widely used backup-as-a-service solution for service providers. Acronis Backup Cloud supports more than 20 data sources, can block ransomware thanks to Acronis Active Protection, enables backup from anywhere and recovery according to specific requirements, and can certify data using Acronis Notary blockchain technology. The popularity of these services has grown by 100% in terms of revenue and by 400% in terms of data volume stored in Acronis Cloud (September 2017)
- Acronis Disaster Recovery Cloud (Partner Review) – a self-service solution built on Acronis Backup Cloud that enables service providers to quickly recover their customers' critical IT systems, applications, and data using Acronis cloud infrastructure.
- Acronis Files Cloud – an enterprise file synchronization and sharing solution that simplifies the management of shared data while meeting the strictest security requirements of modern business. It eliminates the risks associated with using public file storage by giving the service provider control over the location of the data repository. It addresses organizations' current needs for secure file access, synchronization, and sharing – a segment currently demonstrating 200% year-over-year revenue growth.
An easy way to retain customers and increase average revenue per user (ARPU)
Acronis Data Cloud provides shared management and easy integration with the most popular automation systems, such as Odin Automation, Hostbill, ConnectWise Automate, Autotask, and WHMCS (complete list here: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/cloud/service-provider/platform/integrations). Unified reporting, shared policy creation features, and a common API enable service providers to offer more products without having to modify existing processes.
The availability of multiple services within a single platform allows partners to optimize relationships with their customers through upselling, cross-selling, and service bundles. Acronis Data Cloud helps service providers increase ARPU and reduce customer churn. Acronis Data Cloud can also carry the service provider's own brand, strengthening its market position.
Acronis Data Cloud delivers high value not only through easy deployment, but also through the absence of upfront investments and operation with zero capital expenditures under a pay-as-you-go licensing model. Regardless of the business model, Acronis Data Cloud can meet all specific needs. It supports any deployment method, including on-premise, cloud, or hybrid, and virtually any pricing model.
Acronis Storage
Thanks to its hybrid cloud infrastructure, Acronis Data Cloud is closely integrated with Acronis Storage, giving service providers the option to choose the location for data storage. By installing Acronis Storage in their infrastructure, they gain Acronis Data Cloud functionality within their own data center and can offer storage capacity closer to their customers.
Acronis Storage offers universal access through a range of protocols including iSCSI, S3, Acronis Backup Gateway, NFS, and SMB/CIFS, while VTL will be available in 2018. Acronis CloudRAID technology provides seamless scalability, and blockchain-based Acronis Notary enables data certification and validation. With new features to be added every quarter, Acronis guarantees its partners coverage of all customer needs.
“Acronis is a cloud company with a 100% partner focus. Everything we do in the cloud, we prepare in cooperation with our partners. Acronis solutions help service providers effectively expand their customer relationships with new data protection service offerings,” said John Zanni, President of Acronis.
