The latest Cyber Cloud data center enhances data protection, geo-redundant 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 sovereignty.
Strategically located in Berlin, the new Cyber Cloud data center is hosted within the IONOS cloud infrastructure.

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