Scale Computing, Inc. is offering Acronis Cloud Storage, adding a further dimension to the existing OEM partnership.

The easy to use cloud subscription from Acronis gives Scale Computing HC3 customers a powerful, highly available, hybrid redundant backup storage solution delivering DR protection and cyber-threat mitigation.

By offering Cloud Storage, Scale Computing provides customers with a safe, secure and easy place to backup data. By integrating the its Computing HC3 platform with Acronis Cyber Backup, users can benefit from a  range of backup and protection features, including granular object-level recovery, variable-length deduplication for backups, and active ransomware protection.

The end-to-end storage and cloud backup solution can protect VMs, providing bare-metal restore capabilities, and can restore to dissimilar hardware or platforms if required. Available to purchase in 1- or 3-year terms, Scale Computing will be offering Cloud Storage in increments ranging from 250GB to 5TB.

Acronis backups are stored on reliable Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (a secure software-defined compute and storage solution) with redundancy and error correction. The data centre infrastructure is designed around HA and redundancy to minimise associated risks and eliminate single points of failure. In addition, physical security is ensured through several protective measures such as security barriers, video surveillance, and highly monitored access. Data can also be encrypted at source with government-approved AES-256 strong encryption before sending it to a secure data centre.

“We are seeing considerable demand from today’s businesses for data protection, backup and DR. Integrating the Scale Computing HC3 platform with Acronis will help customers meet these priorities in a simple and cost-effective way,” explained Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. “Scale Computing customers can now easily and securely store their Acronis backups locally or in the cloud, with a scalable solution that is designed for agile businesses.“

“The ever-rising threat of ransomware and other cyberthreats along with changing IT requirements have organisations facing ongoing challenges associated with protecting their infrastructure. Due to this, more organisations are demanding cyber protection solutions that are easy, efficient and secure for backing up their data,” said Patrick Hurley, VP and GM, Americas, Acronis. “With Acronis Cloud Storage on Scale Computing HC3, organisations gain a HA data protection cloud solution that also ensures safe, secure and scalable offsite backup for any data or any system – anytime, anywhere.“
