Acronis differs from other data protection vendors in that it delivers a complete cloud architecture and its solutions easily plug into existing service provider environments, while seamlessly supporting their management and business support systems. Acronis solutions feature automation of services that significantly reduces the total cost of ownership for data protection, and a scale-out architecture that can support millions of end users.
