Plesk International to Incorporate Acronis Backup Cloud
Into website management platform and control panel
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on February 2, 2018 at 2:10 pmAcronis International GmbH, in hybrid cloud data protection and storage, announced that Plesk International GmbH, a WebOps platform, will incorporate Acronis Backup Cloud into its website management platform and control panel, giving hosting and cloud service providers an easy way to backup Plesk servers and allowing web professionals and IT admins to restore their own data.
To protect Plesk servers, service providers just have to install the Acronis Backup Cloud agent on their physical servers and VMs and add the Acronis Backup Cloud extension to the Plesk user interface.
Acronis Backup Cloud is a hybrid cloud backup-as-a-service solution developed for service providers. It offers business protection and allows users to store data locally, in the Acronis cloud, or the service provider’s datacenter. It is part of Acronis Data Cloud platform, which also includes DR, storage, and file sync and share services.
Acronis Backup Cloud integration with Plesk brings benefits to web professionals and service providers alike:
Service providers can run full image server backups, storing them in the Acronis Cloud, and use backup files for DR or server migration. Server backups are visible in the Plesk UI, allowing server administrators to run backups, manage backup space, and offer self-service capabilities to customers for a fee. Web professionals can use the Plesk UI to restore their own server environments, files, emails and databases in a secure way.
Website security is a growing concern. Cyber criminals take advantage of website vulnerabilities to inject malicious code and distribute malware, making website files difficult to clean. Files can also be accidentally deleted or lost following an account suspension. This makes backup the only reliable method to ensure site availability and avoid permanent data loss.
“Web professionals understand the importance of protecting their websites but are often intimidated by the complexity of traditional solutions. Acronis Backup Cloud addresses that head on with a one click solution. Once enabled, hosting customers can perform granular self-service recovery of a website or individual files, mailboxes, and databases without contacting support,” said John Zanni, president, Acronis.
“Partnering with Acronis we bring the world’s best cloud backup solution to millions of Plesk users. Backup and Restore is no longer a nice-to-have for websites, but a must-have,” said Nils Hueneke, CEO, Plesk.
