This new addition to the company's global network of Cyber Cloud data centers provides Acronis partners with access to 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.
Acronis’ global network of Cyber Cloud data centers includes more than fifty locations in the U.S., U.K., Switzerland, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and other regions.

“As a Canadian cloud distributor and provider of backups and recovery plans since 2005, we are aware that proximity to the backup site is one of the important criteria for an optimal disaster recovery plan,” said Serge Blondin, IT Director and Acronis Product manager at ITCloud.ca. “With the addition of a second data center in Eastern Canada, Acronis allows our partners across the country to now benefit from proximity to the backup site in addition to a state-of-the-art infrastructure entirely managed by Acronis. With our network of more than 1,200 partners in Canada, ITCloud.ca is very proud to have contributed to the success of this major project.”
