Acronis Backup 12

– Acronis, a leading provider of hybrid cloud data protection announces Acronis Backup 12, a game-changing new solution that protects businesses’ full digital image. Acronis Backup 12 is unlike any other solution with its ability to backup and protect company data in today’s hybrid cloud IT environments – whether it resides in the cloud, on-premises, across virtual and physical systems, in remote systems, and on mobile devices.

“Today’s digital businesses require instant access to data at all times – a loss for even a few minutes can put you out of business forever,” said Serguei Beloussov, co-founder and CEO at Acronis. “With Acronis Backup 12, businesses get the complete protection required in this new digital world with the ability to control their data no matter where it resides combined with the power to get it back faster than ever before in the event of a loss or an outside attack.”

Addressing Today’s Expanding Need for Complete Data Protection

Legacy backup solutions do not provide adequate protection due to the increasingly complex IT infrastructures in use today with multiple physical systems, virtual environments, cloud workloads, and more mobile devices. Companies also face greater risks and vulnerabilities related to external threats like Ransomware, which has seen a 400% increase in mobile device attacks since 2014.¹

As a result, improving data backup and recovery ranks among the top two IT priorities for businesses over the next 12 months, according to Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG).
