Acronis reports momentum for Acronis Backup 12.5 product line

Acronis, a global player in hybrid cloud data protection and storage, has reported 25% year-on-year growth for its Acronis Backup 12.5 product line, with an increasing number of businesses choosing the Advanced edition to optimise costs and achieve the required level of data protection, control, and flexibility in hybrid IT environments.

Acronis Backup 12.5 is a secure backup solution offering protection of all workloads in more than 20 different environments, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, VMware, Microsoft, Red Hat, Citrix, Oracle, and mobile operating systems. It offers easy data management, Blockchain-based data certification, and active protection against ransomware, including this year’s Wannacry, NotPetya, and Bad Rabbit ransomware attacks.

The Advanced edition of Acronis Backup 12.5 is in demand in situations where the speed of recovery is critical for business survival. It offers remote and automated bare-metal recovery, deduplication, WAN optimisation, off-host backup management, and user roles and delegations.

“Businesses start to realise that traditional disjointed backup approach is no longer enough. They are now looking for an easy-to-use solution that can protect all data and at the same time reduce management cost. This is exactly what Acronis Backup 12.5 offers, and our partners and customers love it,” said John Zanni, President of Acronis.

According to a recent customer survey, 90% of businesses choose Acronis Backup 12.5 for its reliability and 80% for the ease of use. This is in line with the Backup Service Survey conducted by review portal IT Central Station where 70% of the respondents chose the simple and straightforward user interface (UI) and 91% of the respondents selected reliable recovery as the most important features in backup software.

Acronis Backup 12.5 has also received recognition from industry leaders and analysts. In a recent Market Note,* research firm IDC noted that Acronis Backup 12.5 is “game-changing for the vendor’s future”; “aimed at helping users consolidate the management and protection of data regardless of its physical location or application deployment model” and that “it heralds a change in backup and data protection technologies, aiming it at the modern, heterogeneous enterprise IT environment.”

“Acronis Backup 12.5 gives us confidence, because we know that all our data is protected,” Joel Stuart, network administrator from motion subsystems specialist Johnson Electric told Acronis following a switchover from a competitor’s product earlier this year.
