Acronis Offers Limited-Time Competitive Upgrade Program With a Savings of 35 Percent

BURLINGTON, MA--(Marketwire - December 2, 2008) - Acronis®, Inc. (http://www.acronis.com), a provider of affordable, scalable storage management and disaster recovery software, today announced a Competitive Upgrade program available now through January 31, 2009.

Prospective customers who own any other server-based backup and disaster recovery solution, such as those from Symantec or Computer Associates, can trade up to Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server for $649, a cost savings of 35 percent off the suggested list price.
