LenovoEMC Teams With Acronis to Introduce New Complete Data Backup Protection Solution for Servers, NAS and PCs New Acronis Technology Available Worldwide as Add-On Application And as New All-In-One, High Performance Network Storage Solution For Select Geographies

LenovoEMC Limited today announced the worldwide launch of a unique new data protection solution providing 360 degree backup protection for business information storage on servers, PCs and NAS. This solution is available globally as an add-on application for owners of existing Lenovo EMC high performance px Series NAS products and as the new all-in-one Lenovo® EMC® px Series Acronis® Backup Appliance for European, Middle Eastern and Asia-Pacific markets.

The combination of LenovoEMC™ storage technology with leading backup software by Acronis® gives business users an all-in-one backup and recovery appliance with a hassle-free data protection strategy. With one product, available at a fraction of the cost of purchasing the hardware and software separately, business customers can now protect client PCs and servers by backing them up to the NAS, as well as protect the NAS data by backing it up to a separate network location. This solution provides multiple layers and locations for data protection.

Acronis Backup & Recovery for Lenovo EMC NAS is available worldwide as an add-on application download for existing Lenovo EMC px Series customers. In Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the new Lenovo EMC px Series Acronis Backup Appliance product is also available in high performance desktop models, featuring two- to six-drive bays and 1U and 2U rackmount arrays with up to 12 bays. An ideal backup target for all network connected devices, this new all-in-one backup appliance offers up to 48TB of raw data storage.

Acronis Backup & Recovery for LenovoEMC NAS is a new approach to NAS backup. The Acronis backup engine resident on the LenovoEMC px NAS provides automated and fast incremental backup of the data on the NAS to a network storage target. This solution brings tremendous advances in NAS backup reliability and speed versus traditional open source file copying tools that are the standard today.

The new Lenovo EMC px Series Acronis Backup Appliance also includes OEM versions of Acronis Backup and Recovery 11.5for Windows and Linux Servers (one license of each), utilizing Acronis’ state-of-the-art imaging technology to create a disk-image backup to the NAS containing the server operating system, applications and data.

Protecting client PCs at the source of document creation, True Image Lite 2013 by Acronis provides “non-stop backup” of up to three Windows PCs to the LenovoEMC px NAS.

Additional data protection features standard on the Lenovo EMC px Series of products include snapshots with VSS, EMC Atmos Cloud Connector, EMC Avamar data deduplication, RAID protection with hot swap drives, UPS support, built-in McAfee® VirusScan®, user quotas, and device-to-device data replication for business continuity.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
