ePLDT secures partnership Acronis

With the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, it has become imperative for enterprises to employ Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans to ensure continued operations given these uncertain times.

In support, ePLDT – the ICT arm of PLDT Enterprise, has bolstered its portfolio to cater to businesses via its strategic partnership with Acronis. Globally renowned for setting the standard for cyber protection, Acronis offers its award-winning AI-based Active Protection technology, blockchain-based authentication, and unique hybrid-cloud architecture to protect all data in any environment – including physical, virtual, cloud, mobile workloads, and applications – all at a low and predictable cost. We believe that this partnership will allow us to better improve the Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans of our customers in different industries – which are crucial given these uncertain times,” said Vic Tria, PLDT FVP and Enterprise Revenue Group Head.

Through the partnership, ePLDT will be offering solutions that will leverage on the Acronis Cyber Cloud – a platform that enables service providers to deliver data protection in an easy, efficient, and secure way. One solution such as Data Back-up and Recovery Solution, customers can gain access to hybrid cloud backup, recovery, and AI-powered anti-malware, manageable from a single, comprehensive console.

“These platforms will enable ePLDT to deliver not only an easy, and efficient access to backup and disaster recovery for its customers, thru a single management console, but also provide an additional layer of cyber protection,” shared Jeff Mendoza, PLDT Enterprise Asia Pacific Regional Head.

ePLDT and Acronis has recently formalized their partnership with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, with the said new products set to be introduced subsequently.
