Acronis today announced that its Vice President of Product Management Dmitri Joukovski is speaking at the 2012 Red Hat Summit on the panel KVM on IBM System x – Leverage the Ecosystem!, being held on June 27, 2012 from 10:40-11:40am ET in room 306 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA.

Together with Jean Staten Healy and Wes Ganeko of IBM, Carl Trieloff of Red Hat, and Travis Volk of Radware, Dimitri will address how KVM virtualization technology is rapidly gaining traction in the market as a cost-effective, enterprise-class virtualization alternative.

At the event, Acronis will also be showcasing Acronis Backup and Recovery and how, through a single console, it offers multi-environment support and the ability to centrally manage an organization’s business continuity and disaster recovery needs for Linux and Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualization® 3 (RHEV). Acronis is one the very few vendors to provide certified P2V, V2V, and V2P software to migrate physical systems and virtual machines (VMs) to RHEV, and was the first vendor to provide certified backup, disaster recovery, and data protection software to protect RHEV VMs at the time of launch.

Launched as the market’s first affordable solution for integrated disaster recovery and data protection in one, IT managers have counted on Acronis Backup and Recovery® for easy-to-use, reliable support for Linux since its inception. It effectively simplifies and automates backup and disaster recovery processes of Linux servers while minimizing downtime and increasing IT productivity.

As part of this year’s Red Hat Summit, Acronis is also conducting a survey to evaluate how backup and disaster recovery technologies are addressing the needs of the Linux market. To participate in this survey, please visit: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XPJQVTZ.
