Scale Computing also announced today that CEO Jeff Ready is presenting at Acronis CyberFit Summit in Miami on Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at 12:15pm. Attendees can still register at https://acronis.events/summit2021/miami/.
Scale Computing and Acronis partnered closely on the integrated technology powering the BRS for MSPs appliance family to give service providers the flexibility to back up VMware, Hyper-V, Scale Computing HC3 or even physical workloads and endpoints, and then instantly power them on as virtual machines (VMs) on the local BRS appliance at a moment’s notice. Utilizing the convert to VM functionality in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, this allows BRS to function as a local backup and disaster recovery (DR) target for any environment, giving MSPs the ability to get critical workloads back up and running instantly on-premises at a fraction of the cost of other solutions.
