By providing partners with a fully tested solution, including step-by-step instructions and information on Acronis’ knowledgebase, Acronis will be one of the first to support VMware vCloud® Director.

Bill Shelton, senior director, cloud computing, VMware, said, “VMware vCloud® Director is the premier solution to allow customers to build and manage private and hybrid clouds.
