excellent support over that time. The peace of mind and security that they
provide is top level and is exactly what a data-heavy race team requires."

program with Brad Jones Racing. As the Acronis #CyberFit Delivery Partner, we
will be supporting this initiative with our best-in-class Managed Services and Infrastructure
Support," said Amro
Elmasry, Director at Extranet Systems. "This partnership

Australia. As a big car fan, I look forward to a
mutually beneficial journey."
