What’s one thing the world’s leading sports teams have in common? They’re increasingly relying on data to elevate their game. Acronis is a leading provider of cyber protection solutions to top-tier professional teams around the world. In the last year alone, more than 15 new global sports giants partnered with Acronis to ensure their data, applications, and systems remain safe and reliable. With over 50 partnerships in our #CyberFit Sports portfolio, we’re currently protecting over 6,000 workloads and more than 2 PB of critical data that elite competitors count on to protect their edge.

Managed disaster recovery (DR) is a service offered by third-party cloud providers who manage a business’ disaster recovery by replicating their systems and data to a private or public cloud and orchestrating the failover and failback process. Managed DR is also called Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). Companies of all sizes used managed DR and pay for the services via a contract or on a monthly or annual fee.

Acronis recently conducted a survey with managed service providers (MSPs) as a follow-up to our in-depth research project last year to take the current pulse of the industry. Unsurprisingly, the results of our survey reveal that the MSP market is undergoing a significant transformation – particularly as the trends that were already in play were accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Let’s take a quick look at the top findings from this Pulse of the MSP 2021 report.

There’s always been a tension between the haves and the have-nots. In the business world, large enterprises often have security technologies in place that small and mid-sized organizations cannot access. But thanks to a new partnership agreement, those resellers who focus on small businesses and the managed service providers (MSPs) who handle IT for SMB clients can now provide access to the same cyber protection technologies that the world’s leading companies and professional sports teams rely on. That’s because D&H Distributing, a leading provider of SMB and consumer technologies to the North American high-tech channel, has formed a new partnership with Acronis to make our comprehensive range of cyber protection solutions available to its service provider partners through the D&H Cloud Marketplace.
