Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection and top provider for international sports teams, today announced it is joining forces with FC INTERNAZIONALE MILANO, or Inter, the star club of European football and one of the most supported teams on the planet. The official partnership launch took place in Acronis headquarters in Singapore, with Inter's Tommaso Berni, Team Captain Samir Handanovic, and Corporate Chief Executive Officer Alessandro Antonello in attendance to celebrate the groundbreaking deal between these high-performing brands.
Inter is extremely popular in Italy and around the world, with more than 250 million supporters globally - and the club is now entering a new era.

Using Acronis'backup, disaster recovery and storage solutions, Inter can now store and share data more easily, efficiently and securely than ever before - allowing the Italian club to enhance their performance and reach new heights.
"While Inter has a century-long history, it takes full advantage of modern innovations, specifically in cyber protection.
