Acronis launches new Cyber Cloud data center in Berlin

BERLIN, Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, in partnership with IONOS, the leading European digitalisation partner for small and medium-sized businesses, today announced the availability of a new Cyber Cloud data center in Berlin, Germany. This joint initiative brings a powerful combination of cloud infrastructure and advanced cyber protection to the European market. As a new addition to Acronis’ global network of Cyber Cloud data centers partners can now access a comprehensive range of cutting-edge cyber protection solutions, empowering them to create new services and offerings to manage their clients' data protection needs more efficiently and effectively with faster access, continuous data availability, and the added benefit of data sovereignty.

Strategically located in Berlin, the new Cyber Cloud data center is hosted within the IONOS cloud infrastructure.

New services such as Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) are also expected to be introduced, further enriching the offerings for clients seeking both performance and security.

Together, we are ensuring that businesses can protect their data and systems while scaling their operations securely and efficiently."

This announcement further expands upon Acronis' dedication to provide updated solutions for its customers by integrating advanced hardware components, robust network infrastructure, and high-performance storage systems reminiscent of leading data centers globally. With the proximity of a Cyber Cloud Data Center closer to Acronis users, the benefits are vast. Acronis continues to safeguard customer data, now with the added advantage of a more localised presence.
