Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection for businesses of any size and individual users, is pleased to celebrate three years since the opening of its International Headquarters at the company's birthplace in Singapore.
Acronis was founded in 2003 in Singapore with a primary focus on offering innovative data protection solutions to consumers, businesses and service providers. To meet the rapid growth demands, the company expanded overseas, opening its Corporate Headquarters in Schaffhausen, Switzerland and establishing presence in key markets, including U.S., Germany, Japan, Russia, and Australia. In 2014 Acronis moved its International HQ to Singapore, back to where the company was first founded. Today, Acronis is the largest Singaporean software and internet services company operating in the global market.
Acronis R&D center in Singapore produces innovative technology designed to provide complete data protection, needed by businesses of any size and individual users. This includes Acronis hybrid cloud architecture giving users complete data management flexibility, AI-based ransomware protection capable of blocking zero-day cyber-attacks, and blockchain-based data certification for immutable proof of data validity.
These technologies have been instrumental for the company's success. In the last year alone, Acronis True Image business increased by 20%, Acronis Backup by 25% and Acronis Access business by over 200% as of September 2017. Acronis Backup Cloud, innovative Backup-as-a-Service for service providers also continues to grow at a rate of more than 100% a year, accompanied by a 350% growth in the number of protected devices and 400% growth of data stored in the Acronis Cloud.
"Singapore is an important international technology hub with unparalleled levels of neutrality, which is critical to a global company like Acronis working in the area of data protection. High standards, inclusive culture, and convenient geographical location, makes Singapore the most productive place for top talent to work and live in. Here we recruit world's best software engineers, specifically in the area of security and Artificial Intelligence," said Acronis President, John Zanni.
Being present in Singapore also enabled Acronis to develop strategic partnerships with local universities, research organizations, and become a founding member of the Cybersecurity Consortium. With the support of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), Acronis also undertakes data protection R&D and participates in joint projects with the Data Storage Institute and NTU.
