We met with awesome partners and enjoyed the tremendous hosting of Lori Tisinai outside on the docks at the Chicago Yacht Club. We ate, we drank, and we had great conversations while socially distancing and enjoying how fantastic it felt to be out – and together! We talked a little nerd, met new MSPs, and learned new things about how real MSPs are currently running their businesses.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/channel-strong-chicago-talking-msp-vs-mssp/) [10 August 2020 — 2 min read ![Image 3: Acronis Cyber Protect earns Frost & Sullivan’s 2020 New Product Innovation Award for Data Protection](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/e44479aa9902652a121944102811a7bd.png) Setting Sail on the Channel Strong: Positive Vibes Tour While many presenters have tried, no one's quite cracked the code yet ... and virtual events simply are just not the same as the in-person conversations that are so vital for those of us who work in the IT Channel. If you've craved some face-to-face interaction and want to connect with your favorite channel colleagues, I've got a surprise for you. Acronis, BVoIP, Pax8, Liongard, ConnectBooster, Compliancy Group, and SocSoter are working together and we’ll be holding outdoor channel meetups in several cities over the next three weeks.

Connection. If there’s one word that best sums up what CompTIA is all about, it’s “connection”. It connects the global IT community as we all learn, grow, and navigate this amazing channel. One of the best parts of CompTIA is that no matter what the goal is – from new and innovative certifications or trust marks to political lobby missions to conferences aimed at bringing vendors and partners together – CompTIA is all about building relationships. And I’ve personally seen many of those relationships turn into true friendships.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/comptias-channelcon-nailed-it/) [29 July 2020 — 3 min read ![Image 5: Security is complicated: How modern MSPs turn chaos into opportunity](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/701297a7531d17743bf6f7c5f50e97c8.png) Gartner 2020 Magic Quadrant recognizes Acronis as Visionary There is nothing quite like third-party validation from one of the world’s most prestigious market research firms. That’s why we’re honored to be named to the Visionary quadrant in the Gartner 2020 Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions, especially after being positioned as a Niche vendor in 2019 and 2015. The recently published report from Gartner highlights Acronis’ strong industry focus, including enterprise-grade cyber protection solutions for the automotive, healthcare, energy, and government verticals.

That’s because no matter how good your initial plan might be, something unexpected can always happen that you will need to adapt to, such as a global pandemic.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/acronis-global-cyber-summit-2020-going-virtual-so-more-msps-and-it-pros-can-attend/) [22 July 2020 — 2 min read ![Image 7: Security is complicated: How modern MSPs turn chaos into opportunity](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/701297a7531d17743bf6f7c5f50e97c8.png) Security is complicated: How modern MSPs turn chaos into opportunity Yesterday’s managed services provider (MSP) had a typical stack at the core of their managed services offering. The main goal was uptime and reliability, so this stack consisted of RMM, professional services automation (PSA), AV, backup and DR, network operations center (NOC), and help desk. Today some MSPs include a managed security services provider (MSSP) stack that consists of eight to 10 more solutions. That’s 10 to 20 different vendors, software, and dashboards to manage, none of which are designed to work together. MSPs have to train their techs, manage their vendors, and just hope that nothing falls through the cracks that would put their clients at risk. So how does a modern MSP deliver security and protection effectively now that they are the only things that matter?](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/security-complicated-how-modern-msps-turn-chaos-opportunity/) [16 July 2020 — 3 min read ![Image 8: Acronis Cyber Protect earns Frost & Sullivan’s 2020 New Product Innovation Award for Data Protection](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/e44479aa9902652a121944102811a7bd.png) The new rhythm for Acronis Cyber Cloud releases Acronis has moved away from big, version-based launches of the Acronis Cyber Cloud platform, and switched to a new cadence of monthly updates to the MSP services platform. Since the 9.0 release, when Acronis Cyber Platform was introduced, there have already been two product updates —July’s release is the third. These rapid improvements brought a number of highly demanded cyber protection features to help you successfully adjust your clients to working remotely without sacrificing their protection. Going forward, we’ll have smaller but more frequent releases. This approach will simplify and speed up the adoption of new capabilities — each release will have fewer changes, making it easier to learn and implement. The shortened planning and development cycle will enable us to quickly address changes in the current work environment, so we can deliver the most demanded features and innovations in Acronis products every month.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/new-rhythm-acronis-cyber-cloud-releases/) [23 June 2020 — 2 min read ![Image 9: Acronis Cyber Platform earns VB100 certification](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) Acronis Cyber Platform earns VB100 certification Launched in Britain almost two decades ago, Virus Bulletin is a world leader in security software testing.
