The Acronis #CyberFit Summit, the world’s largest gathering of cyber protection professionals and IT leaders, will kick off virtually and in Miami from October 25-27, where MSPs, resellers, and experts in the IT channel will be discussing how to face all of the challenges that businesses confront each day.
Offering practical tips to surmount those very challenges are Dan Hill, CEO of UbiStor
and Keith Lukes, UbiStor’s Director of Channel Solutions, two of the dozens of top-tier speakers at the Miami conference. Hill will be presenting the Summit Opening Keynote, alongside Serg “SB” Bell, Patrick Pulvermueller, Phil Goodwin, Oleg Melnikov, and Candid Wuest on Monday, October 25 at 10 am.
Lukes will be joining the Business Optimization panel How to Jumpstart MSP Growth with Modern Disaster Recovery Services (October 26, 2:15 pm). Disaster recovery services have become an important component of a complete cyber protection offering – and a ripe opportunity for MSP growth. Yet many MSPs lack the resources and maturity in their disaster recovery services and operations to bring a modern DR offering to market.
Lukes will discuss how to leverage a distributor who is also an MSP to quickly gain the necessary operational, engineering, sales, marketing, and support firepower needed to enhance an existing DR service or launch a new one. Attend this session and learn how to partner your way to offering profitable DR services that protect your clients against existential threats like natural disasters and ransomware attacks.
In addition, UbiStor – an Acronis distributor and DR MSP – is an executive sponsor of the Acronis #CyberFit Summit in Miami. Ahead of the Summit next week both virtually and in Miami, we connected with UbiStor’s Morgan Lange, Channel Sales and Marketing Coordinator to learn about UbiStor’s experience partnering with Acronis and why their product is indispensable to so many companies.
In a nutshell, what should our attendees know about your organization and what you can do to help make theirs more successful?
With over 20 years of disaster recovery experience and as Acronis’s largest Disaster Recovery Partner, UbiStor can provide a unique set of services and capabilities that is unmatched when it comes to delivering Acronis solutions.
What are you most looking forward to at the Acronis #CyberFit Summit?
Being back in person with the Acronis community, and hearing from Serg Bell and Patrick about their vision and direction for Acronis.
What kind of new tech will you be discussing or unveiling at the event?
While we have been an Acronis Service Provider for several years, we will be announcing our capabilities as an Acronis Distributor as well during the conference to help bring our advanced disaster recovery services directly to the MSP community.
What track, session, or event, are you most excited about at the Acronis #CyberFit Summit?
Their past summits always included great speakers and sessions, and this year is no different.
Given that we have our CEO, Dan Hill, speaking during the Opening Keynote and Keith Lukes presenting in two sessions in the Business Optimization Track, those are obviously very exciting for us. But we are also looking forward to hearing from Oleg on the Acronis Roadmap along with the Keynote from Alexis Ohanian, Reddit Founder.

Tell us your best piece of business advice for the IT channel audience at the Summit!
The market is primed for managed services, especially around disaster recovery and security solutions.
You better be ready to bring these services to the market and your customers or you will be left behind.
What are the biggest changes you expect to hit the industry in the next year?
The adoption of managed services and security solutions is going to greatly accelerate. Now that most business are no longer tied to an office, they have much greater flexibility on how they support their infrastructure and users. Couple that with concerns around ransomware and shortages of capable staff, business owners and IT teams will be looking to bring in experts for these services at much higher rate than before.
