Acronis, the global leader in cyber protection, today announced it has been named a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions for the second year in a row.

Magic Quadrant reports are a culmination of rigorous, fact-based research in specific markets, providing a holistic view of the relative positions of the providers in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct. According to Gartner, the “enterprise backup and recovery software solutions market is focused on transformational technologies or approaches delivering on the emerging needs of end users.”

In this report, Acronis is recognised for its Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud for our ability to execute and completeness of vision. 

“We think Acronis recognition in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the second consecutive year is a significant achievement that once again acknowledges the Acronis gold standard of holistic data protection and cybersecurity solutions,” said Patrick Pulvermueller, Chief Executive Officer at Acronis. “Complexity within the IT industry has created unmanageable risks exacerbated by disparate systems not designed to work together. Our view is to give customers control of their environments, by offering integrated platforms that ensure optimal protection for all data, applications and systems in the face of modern cybersecurity threats.”

Acronis cyber protection solutions are trusted by over 20,000 service providers, 750,000 businesses, and services organisations in more than 150 countries. In the last year, Acronis Cyber Protect has prevented over 1 million attacks and protected over 2.66 million workloads, enabling service providers and corporate IT teams to avoid costly downtime and deliver business continuity for their stakeholders.
