If only virtualization was more affordable and easy to deploy

Relationship

Acronis and VMware have partnered together since 2006 when Acronis officially introduced the ability to do P2V migrations for the VMware platform. Since that time, the partnership has grown and in 2010, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition gained VMware Ready certification status. In 2011, Acronis expanded its certification for VMware by becoming one of the first partners to become vCloud Tested by VMware. This allows all customers to now capitalize on the benefits of VMware vCloud Director while resting assured backups can occur seamlessly with Acronis. Throughout this time, Acronis has helped thousands of customers protect their VMware virtualization infrastructure while migrating nearly a million of VMs.

Now, Acronis and VMware have taken their relationship to the next level and have joined forces to help customers and partners seamlessly implement virtualization and improve business continuity.

From migrating physical servers to virtual, to managing and protecting them, we simplify and secure the move to virtualization. Acronis and VMware help you to close the loop on your virtualization journey and fully realize its benefits.

Why VMware for Virtualization

Small businesses face many of the same IT challenges as larger businesses but often place even greater emphasis on cost savings and business continuity. Shrinking IT staff and budgets make it more important than ever to make sure your staff can maintain day-to-day business operations while still having time to invest in new strategic projects that can yield longer-term efficiencies to help the business grow.

VMware vSphere for small business is the most cost-effective way to enable Always On IT – the high availability, reliability, and manageability of enterprise-class operations optimized for small and midsize businesses.
