Acronis, Inc. is a company incorporated in Delaware[citation needed] that produces hard disk utility software, including disk-imaging backup and recovery, partition management, and boot management software. It also develops software for virtualization migration and conversion, for the purpose of migrating a physical server to a virtual server (such as VMware), or what is also termed P2V. Its best-known product, Acronis True Image, creates a software image of a computer disk in order to restore an exact image on the same or another computer. Most software is produced in different versions, from low-priced software for single computers up to versions for companies with many desktop and server computers.
Acronis' headquarters are in Burlington, MA, USA with additional offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. Walter Scott, who formerly ran Imceda Corporation until its sale to Quest Software, became CEO in 2005 [2]; Scott joined GFI in Oct. 2008[3]. Since Sept. 2008, Jason Donahue has served as CEO of Acronis[4]. Acronis has taken venture funding from New York private equity and venture capital firm Insight Venture Partners[5].
