MITIGATE Seminar announces Daniel Burrus to join six city Australian tour.

There’s a big hole in Australian IT spending with 15 per cent of businesses admitting that they don’t spend a red cent on disaster recovery or business continuity services. It’s even worse internationally where 22 per cent of companies spend zilch on the issue.

SMBs that do not implement effective backup and disaster recovery plans are putting at risk, on average, 100GB of new business data every day1 – despite the availability of new-generation solutions that allow them to create a simple and affordable offsite backup plan between the office and home, according to leading backup specialist Acronis.

Today, Mr Alex Pinchev, former President, Global Sales, Services and Field Marketing at Red Hat, begins his tenure as President and Chief Executive Officer at Acronis Inc., a leading provider of disaster recovery and data protection solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments.

Blue skies greeted the opening days of the Australian Open tennis tournament, but the IT behind the event is cloudier than ever.

Private cloud services provider, OBT, has deployed a Melbourne node which it says will provide cloud services continuity, offering additional disaster recovery, high availability and failover services with the addition of the new point of presence in Melbourne.

Australian provider of cloud computing IT solutions, Harbour IT, partners with CommVault to provide secure cloud backup and recovery services. The new partnership gives customers even more control over their own cloud security.

Acronis, a leading provider of easy-to-use disaster recovery and data protection solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments, today announced the availability of Acronis Snap Deploy® 4, the latest version of Acronis’ automated solution for deployment of data and systems to multiple PCs, virtual machines and servers.

A recent survey by data protection vendor Acronis has found that although the desire exists for a single integrated data protection solution, too many organisations still separate Backup from Disaster Recovery.
