Vendors Extend Five-Year Partnership
Sydney, 15 March 2011 – Red Hat, Inc.

With their expanded partnership, Acronis, a Red Hat ISV Partner since 2006, has certified its Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. This certification enables organisations to simplify their physical-to-virtual server consolidation efforts to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. In addition, the solution, which is based on Acronis’ advanced disk imaging technology, allows users to back up an unlimited number of virtual machines on one server host and supports unlimited and seamless migrations (P2V, V2V, and V2P) that can be performed instantly or on a scheduled basis.
“Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition is a sophisticated software tool that solves many of the problems associated with the backup of virtualised servers. This joint certification is indicative of two players who are bearing increasing weight in the virtualisation arena. The P2V, V2V, and V2P migration capabilities and ability to back up unlimited virtual machines on one host server is a clear benefit for customers,” said Tim Stammers, Senior Analyst at Ovum.
Karl Sice, General Manager – Pacific at Acronis, said, “We have worked closely with Red Hat as an ISV partner since joining Red Hat’s partner program in 2006 and have seen great demand and adoption for our solutions on Red Hat platforms.
