Acronis Opens Cloud Data Center in Auckland, New Zealand

Acronis International GmbH announced the availability of a cloud data centre in Auckland, New Zealand.

One of the 111 data centres being deployed by the company, it gives service provider partners access to a range of cyber protection solutions upon which they can build new services, while delivering faster access, constant data availability, and data sovereignty to their clients.

The global network of Acronis cloud data centres already includes locations in the US, UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, and Singapore. With the new data centre in Auckland, local service providers have a location in their country where they can store business-critical data for their clients. MSPs also stand to benefit from the range of managed cloud solutions and cyber protection solutions available via the Acronis Cyber Cloud platform.

Neil Morarji, Acronis GM, APAC, said: “It was something our partners have wanted for a while – to have an Acronis Cloud Data Centre in New Zealand. Now they can safeguard client data locally knowing they are backed by a global partner who is on standby 24x7x365 to address any issues. With our global network of data centres, we will be able to match the exploding data footprint and deliver our best cyber protection solutions to service providers and their clients.“

All Acronis cloud data centres are designed to meet corporate and regulatory requirements. The global/local initiative, as announced at the Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2020, includes global management for all data centres, geographic redundancy, control for local partners, and a local DR site – all with competitive pricing. As a result, service providers will have no trouble meeting the ever-changing compliance, data sovereignty, and performance requirements.

“With its excellent connectivity and geographically advantageous position, New Zealand is increasingly seen as a destination for the data centres of forward-looking global Internet companies. Cyber protection is a core requirement for every organisation today, and with its establishment of the Acronis Cloud Data Centre, our resellers and their customers across the country can look forward to locally-hosted cyber protection solutions to keep information safe,” says Barbara Kidd, GM, Ingram Micro Cloud NZ.

“Where data resides and ensuring information remains secure has become increasingly important to our partner community. We are proud to align with companies that are focused on delivering local data security and BC solutions to our partners. The investment Acronis is making in the new cloud data centre will give partners peace of mind that data is being managed securely and in line with best practice cyber protection solutions,” said Dominic O’Hanlon, CEO, Rhipe Ltd.

Among the solutions available through the new data centre is Acronis Cyber Protect, an integration of backup, DR, next-gen antimalware, cybersecurity, and endpoint management tools – all managed via a single panel of glass. The solution is VB100 certified and its capabilities earned Acronis Cyber Protect the 2020 New Product Innovation Award for Data Protection from Frost & Sullivan.

All of Acronis solutions are designed to address the Five Vectors of Cyber Protection, ensuring the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS) of an organisation’s data, applications, and systems. In the same way, company’s cloud data centres are designed to deliver high level of data availability, security, and safety – with each facility featuring equipment as well as the best operational and security controls.
