Case Study: The Ocean Race achieves secure global data protection with Acronis Cyber Protect

The Ocean Race restores critical machines in under one hour with Acronis

The Ocean Race, a prestigious round-the-world sailing competition, faced the challenge of ensuring cybersecurity and data protection for its large, internationally traveling team. Operating from the most remote areas of the globe, the team relied on unsecure networks and satellite connections, making it difficult to protect 271 TB of critical data and maintain safe coordination with its headquarters. They addressed this challenge by implementing the Acronis Cyber Protect solution from Acronis.

With Acronis Cyber Protect, The Ocean Race gained an integrated solution for backup, antivirus, and malware detection. The Acronis solution was easy to configure and deploy rapidly across all machines. It enabled the team to validate their IT environment was secure, reliably access data from anywhere, and restore critical systems both online and locally. This capability was proven when Acronis saved the race by returning a critical machine to normal operations in less than one hour, ensuring staff and participants did not lose valuable time.
