Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection solutions, announced Acronis Backup 12, a key version of a solution capable of fully protecting the digital image of an entire enterprise. With an increasing share of digital enterprise assets distributed across various devices and locations, companies need a backup solution that provides comprehensive data protection for the new way of running modern business. Unlike other solutions, Acronis Backup 12 offers the ability to protect enterprise data in hybrid cloud IT environments—whether located in the cloud, on-premise, in virtual and physical systems, at remote locations, or on mobile devices.
“Data is the lifeblood of today’s digital business—the loss of it threatens the very existence of a company,” said Serguei Beloussov, founder and CEO of Acronis. “With Acronis Backup 12, businesses gain the comprehensive protection necessary in today’s digital world, with the ability to control their data regardless of where it is located, combined with powerful data recovery that is faster than ever in the event of data loss or an external attack.”
The growing need for comprehensive data protection
Traditional backup solutions do not provide adequate protection for increasingly complex IT infrastructures, which today consist of many physical systems, virtual environments, cloud platforms, and mobile devices. Companies also face greater risks and vulnerabilities related to threats such as ransomware, whose occurrence on mobile devices alone has increased by 400% compared to 2014. 1
As a result, according to Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), data backup and recovery have become one of the top two priorities for the next 12 months.
“Never before have we been as dependent on our data as we are today, nor has it been distributed across so many different servers, services, and endpoints,” said Jason Buffington, principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). “Operational platforms are continuously evolving, data volumes are increasing, and traditional approaches to data backup and recovery are insufficient, creating a growing need for faster and more comprehensive data protection solutions. Acronis Backup 12 meets these needs by offering a unified solution with a central management console that allows users to manage and quickly recover enterprise data regardless of its location.”
Acronis Backup 12 gives IT managers control over data
Acronis 12 is the only solution that provides businesses with complete control over the location of their data, systems, and backups, including virtual environments. As a result, IT managers always know where their company’s data is located and who has access to it, even when it is stored in the cloud.
In the event of data loss, Acronis Backup 12 provides businesses with a range of recovery options, including recovery of files, emails, and databases; full system recovery including bare-metal recovery, active recovery, instant recovery, and vmFlashBack; cloud disaster recovery; and data delivery on physical media. Acronis Backup 12 also enables IT managers to migrate data, applications, and systems to any platform.
