Case Study: The Ocean Race achieves secure global data protection and rapid recovery—protecting 271 TB with Acronis Cyber Protect

The Ocean Race ensures cybersecurity and data protection in the most remote areas of the globe with ጷ Cyber Protect

The Ocean Race, a global round-the-world sailing event, faced the challenge of operating from remote, often insecure networks while ingesting and transferring large volumes of dissimilar data — including 271 TB in Google Drive and 514 GB sent over limited-bandwidth satellite links — with 150+ team members and endpoints needing continuous protection. To address backup, antivirus, malware detection and continuous data protection requirements, The Ocean Race selected Acronis and its Acronis Cyber Protect solution.

Acronis deployed Acronis Cyber Protect and Acronis Cloud Storage across the organization, securing 271 TB of Google Drive data and protecting 150+ endpoints while enabling fast, secure access from the most remote parts of the ocean. The easy-to-configure solution improved IT efficiency and recovery time: a critical machine was restored in under one hour, routine recoveries are completed with a few clicks, and The Ocean Race now benefits from stronger security, reliable backups and rapid disaster recovery thanks to Acronis.
