Acronis becomes a storage unicorn

Acronis, an alternative data protection and security player, just announced an important new investment round of $147M led by Goldman Sachs. It is a surprise and can be explained by the motivation to acquire companies and strengthens its portfolio and position and finally avoid hostile M&A tentatives as well.

This investment allows the company to join the Storage Unicorn club and the next report I publish twice a year, in June and December, will list Acronis.
