Acronis will continue to support Scuderia Toro Rosso, the Formula 1 racing team, during the 2017 season. In addition, Acronis contributed its technologies to the development of the innovative STR12 race car, which will be unveiled at this weekend's first Australian Grand Prix of the year in Melbourne.
Serguei Beloussov, founder and CEO of Acronis, said: “We are proud of our successful collaboration with the Toro Rosso team and look forward to the new season. The first Grand Prix of the year marks a new wave of activity in connection with our intention to introduce innovative products for data protection, data storage and disaster recovery.
Acronis Backup 12 — #1 for enterprise backup
The partnership between the two companies was launched in July 2016 at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where Scuderia Toro Rosso became a launch partner for the Acronis Backup 12 solution. In 2016, the current version of Acronis Backup 12 received an excellent reception from enterprise customers, recording 40% sales growth over the past 8 months. Acronis Backup 12 is currently the most comprehensive data protection solution for small and medium-sized businesses, supporting 16 different platforms – servers, workstations, virtual machines and public cloud instances, including Microsoft Office 365.
An extended version of the product, Acronis Backup 12 Advanced, will be launched in mid-2017. The new version will include a wide range of innovations, including Acronis Active Protection™ against ransomware, blockchain-based file verification with Acronis Notary™, the ability to sign documents using the Acronis ASign™ blockchain, SAN storage support, intelligent alerts and reporting, role and delegation capabilities, and offline backup.
Acronis Backup Cloud — #1 backup for service providers
Acronis Backup Cloud is the only global backup solution specifically designed for service providers. Sales of the Acronis Backup Cloud business solution are going through a dynamic period, significantly exceeding the 18% growth in public cloud services predicted by Gartner for 2017: more than 15,000 devices have been added to Acronis Backup Cloud in the past 30 days, order volume has more than doubled, and cloud storage usage has increased sevenfold year over year. Service providers now have the best tools to protect their customers' data and grow their business with the support of innovative Acronis technologies.
Acronis Storage — #1 software-defined storage solution
Acronis Storage is a universal, software-defined storage solution and the perfect complement to Acronis Backup Cloud. It is highly competitive in terms of price and technology, while enabling easy management and offering high reliability for backup, file synchronization and sharing, and other applications. ESG Lab evaluated Acronis Storage as 20 times faster than the competition at one-sixth of the cost compared with traditional on-premises storage or public cloud capacity.
Franz Tost, Team Principal of Scuderia Toro Rosso, said: “Acronis joined us in the middle of last year. Not only do we now have data protection and security ensured, but we also have immediate access to any part of the data, which is particularly important when deciding on race strategy. As a leading provider of hybrid cloud data protection, Acronis can meet both of these requirements.”
Acronis Racing Weekends
To demonstrate best practices and innovations, Acronis will organize so-called Acronis Racing Weekends throughout the season on the occasion of Formula 1 Grand Prix events in key regions around the world. More information about Acronis technologies can be found at www.acronis.cz
