New features include:
- Full support of Acronis Files Cloud and Disaster Recovery Cloud services in addition to Acronis Backup Cloud
- Easy configuration for billing, including "free provisioning" option in billing settings
- Improved scalability supports more than 10,000 accounts per partner

"A key pillar in our strategy is ensuring we're making our partners lives easier," said John Zanni, President of Acronis. "We want to be the easiest partner to work with in the ecosystem for backup and disaster recovery. We invest heavily in working hand-in-hand with ConnectWise and most importantly our joint MSPs to provide world class experiences."
