The global network of Acronis Cloud Data Centres already includes locations in 
the U.S., U.K., Switzerland, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, and 
Singapore. With the new data centre in Auckland, local service providers have a 
location in their country where they can store business-critical data for their 
clients. Managed service providers (MSPs) also stand to benefit from the full 
range of managed cloud solutions and cyber protection solutions available via 
the Acronis Cyber Cloud 
platform.(https://www.acronis.com/en-us/cloud/service-provider/platform/#:~:text

Neil Morarji, Acronis General Manager in APAC, said, "It was something our 
partners have wanted for a while – to have an Acronis Cloud Data Centre in New 
Zealand. Now they can safeguard client data locally knowing they are backed by 
a global partner who is on standby 24x7x365 to address any issues. With our 
global network of data centres, we will be able to match the exploding data 
footprint and deliver our best cyber protection solutions to service providers 
and their clients."  

All Acronis Cloud Data Centres are designed to meet and exceed corporate and 
regulatory requirements. The Global/Local Initiative, as announced at the 
Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2020, includes global management for all data 
centres, geographic redundancy, control for local partners, and a local 
disaster recovery site – all with competitive pricing. As a result, service 
providers will have no trouble meeting the ever-changing compliance, data 
sovereignty, and performance requirements.

"With its excellent connectivity and geographically advantageous position, New 
Zealand is increasingly seen as a destination for the data centres of 
forward-looking global internet companies. Cyber protection is a core 
requirement for every organisation today, and with its establishment of the 
Acronis Cloud Data Centre, our resellers and their customers across the country 
can look forward to locally-hosted cyber protection solutions to keep 
information safe," says Barbara Kidd, General Manager, Ingram Micro Cloud NZ.

"Where data resides and ensuring information remains secure has become 
increasingly important to our partner community. We are proud to align with 
companies that are focused on delivering local data security and business 
continuity solutions to our partners. The investment Acronis is making in the 
new cloud data centre will give partners peace of mind that data is being 
managed securely and in line with best practice cyber protection solutions," 
said Dominic O'Hanlon, CEO of Rhipe.

Protect(https://www.acronis.com/en-us/business/cyber-protect/), a unique 
integration of backup, disaster recovery, next-gen antimalware, cybersecurity,
