Service providers now have the best tools to protect their customers' data and grow their business with the support of innovative Acronis technology.
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, synchronization and file sharing, as well as other applications. ESG Lab evaluated Acronis Storage as 20 times faster than the competition at one-sixth of the cost compared to traditional on-premises storage or public cloud capacity.
Franz Tost, Scuderia Toro Rosso Team Principal, said: “Acronis joined us in the middle of last year. Not only do we now have data protection and security ensured, but also immediate access to any part of the data, which is particularly important when making race strategy decisions. As a leading provider of hybrid cloud data protection, Acronis is able to meet both of these requirements.”
