Advantech and Acronis Sign Global Distribution Agreement for Enhanced IoT Cyber Protection
Oct 2, 2019
Advantech has announced its global distribution agreement with Acronis, a company operating in the cyber protection space.
Since a system and software bundling collaboration agreement in 2011, the two companies aggressively developed integrated solutions for the industrial field and have now agreed to extend their strategic partnership into distribution— using Acronis’ complete range of innovative cyber protection solutions in order to accommodate growing market demand.
For years, Advantech has equipped its devices with WISE-PaaS software that includes Acronis cyber protection technology. Advantech will further cooperate with Acronis to integrate its backup offerings into WISE-PaaS/DeviceOn—the leading solution for device management and co-design—to deliver Acronis solutions built into Advantech boards, systems, and an OPAL-enabled backup option working specifically with SQFlash, Advantech’s own brand of SSDs.
Acronis’ cyber protection solutions hit their mark by addressing the five vectors of cyber protection—safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS). This puts Acronis solution users in the unique and advantageous position of having data that is not only secure, but also easily accessible and recoverable.
