Located at the recently opened Quad office project, owned and managed by Everwest Real Estate Partners, the new center in Scottsdale, Arizona will contain the inside sales organization for Acronis. The City of Scottsdale Economic Development team assisted Acronis in facilitating the lease at the new building. CBRE represented Everwest in the transaction. “Acronis expanding its operation in Arizona is yet another example of how our state is the right place for a tech company to grow and scale its business,” said Arizona Governor Doug Ducey. “Arizona has been planning for the future for a long time and offers a thriving economic climate that continues to attract leading tech firms.” “Acronis is a perfect fit for Scottsdale and a great addition to a robust technology sector that continues to grow,” said Mayor W.J. “Jim” Lane. “We welcome the opportunity to work closely with the Acronis team as they ramp up their operation at the Quad.” Acronis provides complete data protection needed by businesses of any size and individual users.

We are excited for the future.” Acronis was founded in 2003 in Singapore with a primary focus on offering innovative data protection solutions to consumers, businesses and service providers.
