John Zanni, SVP of Acronis Cloud Solutions said, "Now, Acronis Backup and Acronis Backup Advanced customers can easily add DRaaS to achieve full IT protection and nScaled customers can take full advantage of the Acronis AnyData Engine features in our global network of highly-secure and reliable cloud data centers.  Along with these new capabilities, WHD.global 2015 gives us the opportunity to showcase new opportunities for Service Providers and Resellers to provide value adding services that are easy to sell, deliver and monetize."

"Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is one of the most exciting IT modernization options available to SMBs. Those folks have long known that they needed to protect their organizations, but thought BC/DR was not viable for them," said Jason Buffington, Senior Analyst, Data Protection, Enterprise Strategy Group, Inc. "With the combination of the rich DRaaS features of nScaled with the Acronis AnyData Engine (and the trusted Acronis brand), midsized organizations have a compelling and cost-effective option that is certainly worth investigating."
