storage, and regulatory compliance for service provider clients, while empowering MSPs with
comprehensive cyber protection solutions
BERLIN, October 16, 2024 – Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection,
in partnership with IONOS, the leading European
digitalisation partner for small and medium-sized businesses,
today announced the availability of a new Cyber Cloud data center in Berlin,
Germany. This joint initiative brings a powerful combination of cloud
infrastructure and advanced cyber protection to the European market. As a new
addition to Acronis’ global network of Cyber Cloud data centers partners
can now access a comprehensive range of cutting-edge cyber protection
solutions, empowering them to create new services and offerings to manage their
clients' data protection needs more efficiently and effectively with faster
access, continuous data availability, and the added benefit of data

Strategically located in Berlin,
the new Cyber Cloud data center is hosted within the IONOS cloud infrastructure. It is paired with IONOS’ Frankfurt facility to deliver
geo-redundant storage with close proximity between the two sites. This distance

combining Acronis' cybersecurity expertise. Together, it guarantees
comprehensive defense against modern cyber threats led by providers who are
both committed to providing highly reliable solutions backed by ISO standards
and strong Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

a Service (DRaaS) are also expected to be introduced, further enriching the
offerings for clients seeking both performance and security.

compliance requirements. Together, we are ensuring that businesses can protect
their data and systems while scaling their operations securely and
efficiently."

solutions for its customers by integrating advanced hardware components, robust
network infrastructure, and high-performance storage systems reminiscent of
leading data centers globally. With the proximity of a Cyber Cloud Data Center
closer to Acronis users, the benefits are vast. Acronis continues to safeguard
customer data, now with the added advantage of a more localised presence.

center structure. This enables partners to surpass compliance requirements,
data sovereignty, and performance. Additionally, C5, ISO 27001 certifications
