Acronis Inc. announced a limited-time upgrade program for customers using other data backup products that move to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, currently shipping. The program, coupled with Acronis' license-based pricing, drops the cost of entry to data deduplication to as much as 1/20th of software-based alternatives. The software's new deduplication starts at a list price of $28 per machine.
Acronis also unveiled an online calculator to quickly estimate the storage savings an organization could realize using data deduplication. The company claims the savings from deploying deduplication will more than cover the software's cost.
