Acronis Data Cloud helps service providers to reduce churn and increase average revenue per user
SYDNEY, Australia, 10 October 2017 – Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud IT data protection today announced the availability of Acronis Data Cloud — a unified platform for all current and future cloud-based services that Acronis is bringing to the market for service providers.
Integrating Acronis Data Cloud, service providers receive immediate access to all the available solutions, without the complexity of integrating each service separately:
Easy way to retain customers and increase Average Revenue per User (ARPU)
Acronis Data Cloud brings shared management and easy integration into major business automation systems such as Odin Automation, Hostbill, ConnectWise Automate, Autotask, and WHMCS (full list can be found at https://www.acronis.com/en-au/cloud/service-provider/platform/integrations). Unified usage reporting, shared policy engine and common API allow service providers to offer more products without modifying their existing processes.
Availability of multiple services within the same platform allows partners to monetize their relationships with customers, making it easy to sell more, cross-sell, and bundle. Acronis Data Cloud helps service providers to increase ARPU and reduce churn. Acronis Data Cloud can also be branded with a logo and corporate colors, further establishing service provider’s position in the market.
Acronis Data Cloud is great value. Not only it’s easy to deploy, it also requires no initial investment and can be operated with zero CAPEX, based on a transparent pay-as-you-go licensing. Whatever the business model, Acronis Data Cloud can fit the bill. It supports any offer packaging, any type of deployment, including on-premise, cloud or hybrid, and almost any pricing model.
“The Acronis Data Cloud solution represents more opportunities for our Resellers to monetise with data protection and cloud backup services. We are seeing increased demand for cloud backup services where partners can enter this space with low capital investment. To the end client they will have a solid cloud backup solution from Acronis to ensure business continuity for their mission critical files,” said Michael Tea, General Manager Ecommerce & Cloud Services at Synnex Australia.
"With the emergence of highly effective malware in Petya and WannaCry, data backup has become an absolute must in protecting information and systems. Small and medium-sized businesses have in particular been hit hard and generally don’t have the capital to have their data restored. Acronis Backup Cloud, and now, Acronis Data Cloud, allows us to offer a highly affordable, scalable and intuitive data protection product to our customers. This allows them to get on with running and growing their business, knowing their vital data is in safe hands,” said Gavin Gibson, Chief Operations Officer of Crazy Domains.
Acronis Storage
Based on Acronis hybrid cloud architecture, Acronis Data Cloud is also closely integrated with Acronis Storage, giving service providers freedom to choose where to store the protected data. Installing Acronis Storage in their infrastructure, they bring the functionality of Acronis Cloud to their own datacenter, offering secure storage capacity closer to their customers.
Acronis Storage offers universal access over multiple protocols iSCSI, S3, Acronis Backup Gateway, NFS, and SMB/CIFS and VTL coming soon in 2018. Acronis CloudRAID technology provides seamless scalability for redundancy, Blockchain-based Acronis Notary allows data certification and validation. With new capabilities available to service providers every quarter, Acronis ensures that the constantly evolving customer needs are covered.
“Acronis is a cloud company with 100% partner focus. Whatever we do in the cloud space, we do it with partners. Acronis’ solutions help service providers to monetize their customer relationships by offering all the data protection services their customers need,” said John Zanni, President of Acronis.
Acronis Disaster Recovery Cloud and Acronis Files Cloud are currently available from the US and UK datacenters only. The new services will be available from other Acronis Cloud datacenters in the coming months. Please visit Acronis Partner Portal for the latest updates.
