Acronis Backup Cloud Unlocks Revenue for Microsoft Office 365 and Azure Data Protection

Backup-as-a-service solution for service providers, hosters, and cloud resellers

Acronis International GmbH announced its latest update of Backup Cloud, a backup-as-a-service (BaaS) solution for service providers, hosters, and cloud resellers that provides complete data protection for SMBs.

ACRONIS_BC_pngToday’s SMBs have been left exposed to data loss and malicious attacks due to inadequate solutions that do not protect the full spectrum of servers and user endpoints, including mobile devices, and cloud services and applications, such as Microsoft Azure and Office 365.

The company enables service providers to rapidly address these new and critical SMB data protection needs with the latest release of firm’s Backup Cloud – its easiest, fastest, most complete cloud backup solution.

Whether it’s a lost mobile phone, a vulnerable cloud application, or a ransomware attack, today’s SMBs are at more risk than ever to data loss, and it will only get harder to stay protected,” said John Zanni, CMO, Acronis. “Service providers and hosters have a huge opportunity to expand their business, and Acronis Backup Cloud gives them easy and almost instant access to this massive market.

Get up and running with data protection in minutes
Backup Cloud provides service providers, hosters and cloud resellers with a backup as a service solution that is easy to use, they can be up and running within minutes. It protects all servers, workstations and mobile devices, and extends to cloud services and applications to provide complete protection.

Backup Cloud plugs into the most common platforms in use by service providers and hosters, including Linux, Virtuozzo, Azure, Docker, Open-Xchange, XEN Server, and KVM. The solution also backups data and workloads across a range of customer environments, including Microsoft, Amazon EC2, Windows and Office365, Linux, Mac, VMware, Hyper-V, RHEV, XEN, Oracle VM, Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, Active Directory, iOS, and Android.

Backup Cloud also integrates with popular cloud management solutions to automate customer billing, monitoring, and provisioning. This includes Odin Service Automation, WHMCS, HostBill, APS Standard, LabTech, Windows Azure Pack, and Flexiant Cloud Orchestrator.

Service providers can use a use a single powerful dashboard to deploy the software, manage customers, and monitor backups, all while supporting clients’ distributed business environments with multiple IT tiers and administration controls for users and groups.

Within hours, service providers can also deploy secure, private cloud destinations with their own storage or third-party cloud storage, and now with company’s software-defined storage using commodity hardware. The firm’s storage option substantially lowers scale-out storage costs while overcoming the capex challenges related to traditional high-end storage offerings.

Why to move to Backup Cloud:

  • Cloud automation – Simplifies the sale of BaaS by combining Acronis backup technology with a scalable hybrid cloud architecture that integrates with popular cloud management tools.

  • True multi-tier solution – Offers a multi-tier solution that enables cloud resellers to provide varying levels of capabilities to their customers from a single data protection platform.

  • Flexible storage – Provides flexible storage options for customer backups, including local, on-premises, service-provider hosted, Acronis-hosted, and 3rd-party hosted, including Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3, and IBM SoftLayer.

  • Powerful multi-tenancy – Reduces costs and overhead by consolidating customer views and administration into one, easy-to-use, unified management console, available anywhere.

  • Control over services – Allows service providers to offer a blend of customer self-service and white glove management to fit the needs of their customers.

The managed infrastructure market remains robust with traditional hosting and infrastructure-as-a-service growing into a $70 billion market in 2016,” said Liam Eagle, senior analyst, service providers, 451 Research. “Working with technology vendors that deliver higher-order services and offer cohesive solutions for hybrid cloud IT environments are winning strategies for service providers, as they look to update their services with the latest backup and data protection.”

Data protection is a top priority for virtually every organization today, and we are pleased to strengthen our relationship with Acronis and deliver the latest update of its cloud backup solution to help address this critical business need,” said Tarik Faouzi, VP, global cloud partners and solutions, Ingram Micro, Inc. “Through the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace, our reseller partners can quickly deliver greater value to their customers and offer a leading hybrid cloud backup solution that provides complete protection for Microsoft Office 365 mailboxes.
