London, United Kingdom, September 16, 2019 – Acronis announced today that its UK based cloud distributor intY, a ScanSource company, which has gone from making servers to leading the cloud distribution industry with a presence of over twenty years on the market, is the first to achieve 1 petabyte of stored data in the Acronis Cyber Cloud in the region (UK). This growth in the cloud business is accelerating and Acronis expects the storage cloud consumption, across all distributors, to actually double by the end of the year. intY joins the group of European Acronis Service Providers using over 1 PB of Acronis storage and multi-PB deployments.
