Acronis has just announced the opening of a brand new Cyber Cloud data centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This state-of-the-art facility will provide Acronis partners with a complete range of cutting-edge cyber protection solutions, empowering them to create new services and offerings to manage their clients’ data protection needs more efficiently and effectively.
The addition of this data centre to Acronis’ global network marks a significant milestone for the company, as it represents its first Cyber Cloud data centre in Malaysia. This strategic move will allow Acronis partners in Malaysia to benefit from the full suite of cyber protection solutions and managed cloud solutions via the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform, with the added benefit of local data management and support from their service providers.
The importance of robust cyber protection solutions cannot be overstated in today’s digital age, and Malaysia is no exception. According to recent statistics, the country recorded over 20,000 cyber attack cases in 2022, resulting in losses of nearly RM600 million. The reality of cyber threats underscores the need for comprehensive data protection solutions, which the new Acronis Cyber Cloud data centre in Kuala Lumpur is well-equipped to provide.
Chan Kee Siak, Founder and Group CEO of Exabytes expressed his appreciation for Acronis’ investment in a cloud data centre in Kuala Lumpur, stating that “Acronis partners and customers in Malaysia can look forward to locally hosted cyber protection solutions in compliance with Malaysian data protection legislation while also benefitting from the full range of managed cloud solutions and cyber protection solutions available via the Acronis Cyber Cloud Platform.”
The Acronis Cyber Cloud data centres are designed to meet the specific needs of corporate and regulatory environments, providing partners with the tools and resources needed to exceed compliance, data sovereignty, and performance requirements. The Malaysia Cyber Cloud data centre is no exception, adhering to the highest standards of physical security to ensure the safety and protection of customer data. With certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and PCI DSS, Acronis demonstrates its unwavering commitment to providing secure and reliable cyber protection solutions.
Each facility within the Acronis Cyber Cloud network features state-of-the-art hardware and security controls, ensuring the utmost levels of data availability, security, and safety for critical data, applications, and systems. The need-plus-one (N+1) approach, which provides greater redundancy across all hardware layers of the infrastructure, minimises risks and eliminates single points of failure, making Acronis the go-to choice for resilient and robust cyber protection solutions.
“We are thrilled to announce the opening of our Cyber Cloud data centre in Kuala Lumpur,” said Acronis SVP, APJ & MEA Sales and Global Channel, Pasha Ershow who was present during the launch. “As a modern cloud business, we recognise the importance of a local presence and are proud to offer our customers in Malaysia a reliable and secure data protection solution.
