Acronis,
a leading provider of hybrid cloud data protection, today at HostingCon
announced its latest update of Acronis Backup Cloud, a cutting-edge
backup-as-a-service (BaaS) solution for service providers, hosters, and
cloud resellers that provides complete data protection for small and
medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Today's SMBs have been left exposed to
data loss and malicious attacks due to inadequate solutions that do not
protect the full spectrum of servers and user endpoints, including
mobile devices, and Cloud services and applications, such as Microsoft
Azure and Office 365. Acronis enables service providers to rapidly
address these new and critical SMB data protection needs with the latest
release of Acronis Backup Cloud - its easiest, fastest, most complete
cloud backup solution ever.
"Whether it's a lost mobile
phone, a vulnerable cloud application, or a ransomware attack, today's
SMBs are at more risk than ever to data loss, and it will only get
harder to stay protected," said John Zanni,
Chief Marketing Officer at Acronis. "Service providers and hosters have
a huge opportunity to expand their business, and Acronis Backup Cloud
gives them easy and almost instant access to this massive market."

Service providers can use a
