NETGEAR, a worldwide provider of technologically advanced, branded networking and storage products, hosted a special roadshow event with its global technology partner, Acronis, a leading provider of easy-to-use disaster recovery and data protection solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments yesterday (June 22, 2011) at the Metropolitan Palace Hotel in Dubai. The event saw the launch of NETGEAR’s new Global Partner Program for resellers and the release of Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 11, the latest edition of Acronis' backup and disaster recovery family. The move complements the latest industry reports from IDC, which point to an expected 4.5 per cent CAGR for the storage software market between 2010 to 2014; reflecting the fact that businesses and private users today are averse to putting their stored data at risk.
The roadshow is part of NETGEAR’s strategic move to mark a stronger market presence in the Middle East region and increase awareness on the key benefits and advantages of using world-class networking and storage solutions. During the event, David Blackman, General Manager, Acronis NEMEA, talked about the new marketing opportunities presented with the release of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11, the industry’s first affordable, integrated solution for disaster recovery and data protection, while Simon Poulton, Senior Solution Architect, Acronis NEMEA, made the first live demonstration in the region of the solution. Ahmad Zeidan, Channel Sales Manager, NETGEAR Middle East, discussed the new Global Partner Program and how resellers can gain key benefits from the incentive program. He also talked about the ReadyNAS storage solutions package and showed why businesses today should adopt and install reliable and effective networking, storage and security software.
“Small Medium Businesses in the Middle East region have created a key demand for networking and storage products that can help improve their operations and increase efficiencies in the workplace,” said Richard Jonker, Managing Director, Emerging Markets, NETGEAR. “Our strategic partnership with Acronis has helped us develop and provide joint data management solutions to our customers in the region. As part of our move to raise awareness of the key advantages gained from using our diverse range of storage and backup solutions, we hosted and organized this roadshow event for our resellers to launch Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 and announce our new Global Partnership program. This move demonstrates our eagerness in both increasing our awareness in the region and live up to our reputation as a key provider of strategic and effective solutions for businesses today.”
“This special roadshow event demonstrates the strength of the relationship that we have developed with NETGEAR and also gives us the key opportunity to meet up with our reseller partners and discuss new strategic and promotions that can help raise their sales and margins,” said David Blackman, General Manager, Acronis NEMEA. “The release of the new Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 product family complements our commitment to provide our customers with a strategic solution to address their disaster recovery and data protection objectives in physical, virtual and cloud environments. Acronis remains faithful to its move towards keeping up with the demands of today’s businesses and individual users for essential and fully reliable backup storage systems.”
The complete NETGEAR ReadyNAS for Business product line, which includes the 24TB ReadyNAS 4200, a network storage system with 10Gb Ethernet support and uses enterprise-class drives, supports unified NAS and SAN architecture, incorporates secure replication utilities and is backed by a five-year hardware warranty. The ReadyNAS 4200 also comes with iSCSI support, Quad WAN Gigabit SSL VPN Firewall, unmanaged switches, L2 Gigabit POE Switches, and new wireless controller supporting up to 150-Aps. The Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 family has been designed to simplify and automate workstation and server backup and recovery processes in Windows and Linux environments and across physical and virtual platforms. The compatibility between the two families of products will allow channel partners to deliver backup, restore and disaster recovery solutions that solve replication, disaster recovery, and individual file restore issues.
