Vendors in the report are evaluated based on ability to execute and
completeness of vision
Acronis, a global leader in cyber
protection, was positioned in the Visionaries quadrant in the Gartner 2020
Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions
According to the report,
“the move toward public cloud, heightened concerns over ransomware, and
complexities associated with backup and data management are forcing I&O
leaders to rearchitect their backup infrastructure and explore alternative
solutions. This research provides analyses of backup and recovery vendors.”
“Over the past several
years, Acronis has shifted its focus from being a backup vendor to offering
cyber protection, a holistic approach that combines data protection and
cybersecurity. It is encouraging to be acknowledged as a Visionary by Gartner,
and we see this recognition as validation of the critical interdependency
between backup and cybersecurity,” said Acronis Founder and CEO Serguei
“SB” Beloussov.
While the Gartner 2020
Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions report is focused
on the data center, the primary focus for Acronis has always been protecting
the edge and endpoint. Beloussov continues, “We have a unique
ability to provide cyber protection for enterprises - focusing on edge and
endpoint workloads. Our newest solution Acronis Cyber Protect provides
AI-powered anti-malware protection, vulnerability assessments and patch
management, continuous data protection, URL filtering and fast, reliable backup
and disaster recovery, all from an easy-to-manage console.”
