To celebrate the speed and technological excellence of Acronis Backup 12, the company has also struck a one-race deal with Italian F! racing team Scuderia Toro Rosso. The Acronis logo will be stamped on the side of the STR11 at the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest this weekend (July 24). In less than the time it takes the car to complete one full lap of the Hungaroring, Acronis Backup 12 users will be able to restore more than five servers (The lap record of 1'19.071 by Michael Schumacher in 2004).
“Today, Acronis is launching a new era of data protection by moving from full image device protection to full image digital business protection,” said Serguei Beloussov, Co-founder and CEO at Acronis. “We’re combining the world’s fastest backup solution with the industry’s most flexible storage options and non-stop monitoring to provide complete data protection for today’s ‘always-on’ digital business.”
According to IDC, data continues to grow at a 40–50% compounded annual growth rate. At the same time, IDC notes that a company’s data may migrate from system to system, across storage platforms, and across on-premises and off-premises repositories all within the course of a normal business day. Traditional data protection methods are not well equipped to protect and recover this transient data, and IT consumers are looking for products that can more adequately do so.1
“Ensuring that the right type and quality of data is preserved and available when necessary has become even more challenging in today's digital world,” said Phil Goodwin, Research Director, IDC. “Today’s hybrid cloud IT environments and massive increase in cloud workloads are forcing IT Managers to rethink older methodologies to maintain greater control over their critical business data, while replacing current business processes with newer ones to ensure that crucial data assets are in fact preserved and available.”
