Acronis has made an announcement regarding the acquisition of BackupAgent, the pioneering company in cloud backup.
Founded in 2005 and once named by Deloitte, BackupAgent brings on board years of cloud backup expertise, an existing network of hundreds of active partners and over 50 thousand customers across the world. Japanese cloud provider Tsukaeru.net, has been a BackupAgent partner since 2010 with thousands of users of cloud backup. CEO of Tsukaeru.net Jason Frisch comments: “I am happy to hear that BackupAgent and Acronis are joining forces. We're excited to see what happens next, with the additional support, resources and technologies that Acronis can provide”.
Service providers will also benefit from the long-standing partnership between Acronis and Parallels, leveraging the full integration of BackupAgent solutions with Parallels Automation, empowering Parallels-enabled service providers to quickly deploy a cloud backup offering to their customers at a very low cost of entry.
"With over 15 years of experience helping service provider businesses in SWsoft and Parallels, I clearly understand the customer need and the Service Provider revenue opportunity with a cloud data protection solution," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO and co-founder of Acronis.
With this acquisition, existing Acronis and BackupAgentpartners will receive the most complete data protection solution to offer to their customers, and the existing 50 thousand customers of BackupAgent will enjoy the most complete, flexible and user-friendly cloud backup service.
