Acronis, a leading provider
of disaster recovery and data protection solutions for physical, virtual and
cloud environments, has entered into a new distribution relationship with
Avnet Technology Solutions, one of the world’s largest IT solutions
distributors, to provide protection for businesses threatened by potential
technology disasters in Thailand and Vietnam.
The unrelenting series of floods ravaging the countries this year has proven
the value of a business continuity policy. It is vitally important to back
up critical business data, maintain continuity and provide customer service
in the wake of a natural disaster.
"Disaster recovery and data protection solutions present a tremendous
revenue opportunity for value-added resellers, especially in the mid
market," said William Chu, president, Avnet Technology Solutions, Asia
Pacific. "With Acronis solutions, we will provide channel partners with the
technology and resources they need to successfully address this market
opportunity and help them build competitively differentiating business
practices that help organisations of all sizes simplify and automate backup
and disaster recovery processes, including the ability to manage
geographically distributed PCs, workstations and servers. Furthermore,
partners can rely on Avnet's proven expertise through its technology
solutions practices, which will help partners gain a deeper understanding of
how Acronis solutions can solve customers' business challenges."
Bill Taylor-Mountford, President for Acronis APAC said in signing the deal:
“We are pleased to be able to work with Avnet. With their established
channel network and advanced marketing programs, we believe we will be able
to extend our footprint extensively in the Indochina region and expand our
suite of disaster recovery and data protection solutions throughout Thailand
and Vietnam.”
Under the new alliance, Avnet will sell, market and support Acronis’ suite
of disaster recovery and data protection solutions to resellers and managed
service providers (MSPs) throughout Thailand and Vietnam. As a result, Avnet
channel partners will have access to a wider range of data protection and
business continuity solutions provided by Acronis.
