The partnership between Acronis and Plesk allows webhosters to increase the business potential per user and reduce support requests by allowing web experts and IT administrators to back up and restore their own data.
Acronis, a prominent leader in data protection and data storage in the hybrid cloud, announced that the leading WebOps platform Plesk, Acronis Backup Cloud integrates into its website management platform and control panel. This provides an easy way for hosting and cloud service providers to secure Plesk Server, and allows web experts and IT administrators to recover their own data.
To protect Plesk servers, service providers simply need to install the Acronis Backup Cloud Agent on their physical servers and virtual machines and add the Acronis Backup Cloud extension to the Plesk UI.
Acronis Backup Cloud is a powerful hybrid cloud backup-as-a-service solution designed specifically for service providers. It provides comprehensive business protection and allows users to store data locally in the Acronis Cloud or in the service provider's data center. The solution is part of the Acronis Data Cloud platform, which includes disaster recovery, storage and file sync & share solutions. Integrating Acronis Backup Cloud with Plesk offers many benefits for web professionals and service providers:
- Service providers can create complete image backups of the server, store them in the Acronis Cloud, and use the backup files for disaster recovery or server migration.
- Server backups are visible in the Plesk UI, allowing server administrators to perform backups, manage backup space, and provide self-administration to customers. - Web experts can use the familiar Plesk interface to restore their own server environment, files, emails and databases without risk.
Service providers and hosters are increasingly concerned about the security of their websites. Cybercriminals use vulnerabilities to inject malware and spread malware. This makes it difficult to keep the websites harmless because the individual files are difficult to clean. Files may also be accidentally deleted or lost after an account is locked. This makes backup the only way to reliably prevent data loss and ensure the availability of web pages.
"Web experts understand the need to protect their Web pages, but are often deterred by the complexity of traditional solutions," says John Zanni, president of Acronis. "Acronis helps with a one-click solution. Once enabled, hosting providers can perform granular self-service restoration of a web page or individual files, mailboxes, and databases without having to contact support. " " Partnering with Acronis gives millions of Plesk users access to the best backup Solution in the market, "says Nils Hueneke, CEO of Plesk. "Especially for websites, backup and restore solutions are no longer optional but mandatory."
