Data Backup Digest

When it comes to enterprise data protection, past software options have been cursed with the reputation of being unintuitive, difficult to use and rife with bugs. Thankfully, these days are long gone. In fact, Acronis, one of the most well-known brands in the hybrid cloud protection market, has unveiled the latest iteration of their popular Acronis Backup software suite.

Acronis Backup 12, which was officially released to the public in July of 2016, bolsters Acronis' reach in the area of cloud-based data protection. In fact, Acronis Backup 12 supports no less than 15 different platforms on physical systems, virtual drives and even mobile devices. Some of these platforms include Microsoft, Apple, Linux, Android, Amazon, VMware vSphere and more.

Sergeui Beloussov, CEO and co-founder of Acronis, spoke about the need for the efficient control of enterprise data in the 21st century. He was quoted as saying: "Data is the lifeline of today’s digital businesses – without it your company will not survive. With Acronis Backup 12, businesses get the complete protection required in this new digital world with the ability to control their data no matter where it resides, combined with the power to get it back faster than ever before in the event of a loss or an outside attack."

Full Installation in Just Three Clicks

One of the largest selling points of Acronis Backup 12 is its accessibility and ease-of-use, particularly during the installation phase. In order to streamline the process as much as possible, Acronis Backup 12 features a three-click installation. Once installed, Acronis Backup features RTOs that are twice as fast as their nearest competitor.

Protecting Against Increasing Threats and Requirements Alike

There's no denying the fact that computers are now more susceptible to online threats than ever before. In fact, the threats faced are so numerous that they've ever spread to the world of cloud computing and mobile communications.

According to some reports, mobile devices alone have experienced a 400% increase in the total number of Ransomware attacks since 2014. With that in mind, it's easy to see why there is a growing need for data protection and backup in the 21st century. Acronis Backup 12 was specifically developed to protect against modern cyber-threats. Even in a world without the constant threat of a cyber-attack, today's enterprises are still struggling to control the massive amounts of data they are generating on a daily basis.

Jason Buffington, principal analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group, spoke about the growing storage requirements of today's businesses by saying: "As production workloads continue to evolve and data volumes increase, legacy approaches for backup and recovery quickly become inadequate, thus driving the need for faster, more comprehensive approaches to data protection and recovery. Acronis Backup 12 is an exciting alternative for businesses looking for a single solution with a unified management console that enables users and IT staff to quickly manage and recover data, no matter where it resides."
