Abstract:
There has been an explosion of data in the digital age thanks to cloud technologies. The amount of data in the world is more than doubling each year and petabytes of information are being generated every day. It is now more important than ever to be able to protect and manage data for businesses and consumers. Technologies such as data backup, disaster recovery, secure transfer and the secure access are what consumers and businesses need to protect their data. Businesses estimate that downtime costs at least $20,000 an hour or more. However, many of the protection methodologies are still deeply rooted in legacy solutions and are not well suited for today's new challenges. Acronis takes a unique approach to build software defined data protection platform based on Acronis AnyData Engine that combines 15 years of research and development in areas of infrastructure management, data storage, data privacy and security across multiple platforms. This platform protects customer's data no matter where it is stored and can be deployed in the cloud, on premise or in various hybrid models. Acronis has opened R&D center in Singapore to support advancements in technologies to continuously scale Acronis' data protection platform and address upcoming challenges of digital age.
