Watch now](https://acronis.events/event/october-2026-nam/?utm_webteam=events-banner) ## Six months changed everything In May, Acronis introduced its vision for the future of IT. In July, we showed the progress. At the recent Acronis Accelerate: Time to Act event, we showed why now is the moment to start putting that future to work. Consider what is happening around us. Business AI adoption reached 47%. Codex surpassed five million weekly active users. Bots now generate roughly 57% of web requests. Gartner forecasts $2.7 trillion in worldwide AI spending this year. And AI is not only changing software. It is putting pressure on compute, storage, power and data center capacity while attackers are accelerating too. The average e-crime breakout time is now just**29 minutes**. This isn't another conversation about what AI _might_ do five years from now. **This is happening now.** And that is what makes this Accelerate worth watching. ## Wait, MSPs can do that now? Imagine opening your laptop and discovering that some of the work waiting for you has already been analyzed, organized or prepared for action. Then imagine moving through onboarding, AI-assisted Service Desk workflows, Cyber Intelligence, Cyber Compliance, 24/7 MDR and infrastructure operations as part of a much more connected experience. That is the story we demonstrated. But don't take our word for it. [Joshua Aaronson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-aaronson/), COO and co-founder of [Panda Technology](https://www.pandatechnology.com/), explained how consolidation and automation changed his MSP. Approximately 80% of the technology Panda deploys and manages for customers runs through Acronis, and he says consolidating the stack has made client onboarding approximately **seven times faster**. And with more acceleration features and improvements being released now, onboarding time can be reduced to minutes, not hours. His philosophy? **“Technology should eliminate friction, not create it.”** ![Image 4: Figure 1.

Tickets auto-generated and resolved, escalation ready to addressed, patches identified and ready to approve, and automated client onboarding for MSPs. [Vittorio Acampora](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vittorioacampora/), CEO and CISO of [Meginet](https://www.meginet.cloud/), focused on something every MSP wants more of —**time**. His message was equally simple. Automation isn't about replacing people. It's about **giving people back their time**, allowing technicians to focus on solving problems, protecting customers and improving services. And his vision of the AI future isn't humans versus AI. It's **humans with AI**. Then there is security. Threats don't clock out at 5 p.m. At Accelerate, we demonstrated how [Acronis MDR](https://www.acronis.com/en/platform/mdr/) brings 24/7 monitoring and expert investigation together with detection, response and recovery. ![Image 5: Figure 2.

Acronis MDR, built for MSPs, leveraging Acronis TRU expertise for coverage in every time zone. And infrastructure is having its own moment. [Devon Stephens](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dstephensnet3/), Senior Sales Engineer at [Net3 Technology](https://www.n3t.com/), described what happened when an industry shift threatened the foundations of its managed private cloud offering. Net3 had **250 customers and more than 2,000 workloads**that it needed to move. Net3 required feature parity, wanted to reuse its existing hardware investment and needed its technical teams to ramp up quickly. Net3 selected Cyber Frame Local. According to Stephens, Net3 maintained the capabilities it needed, reused its existing hardware and deployed the stack with minimal ramp-up for technicians and engineers. Then came better performance, migration capabilities that fit Net3's requirements and a customer interface users liked. And the biggest benefit? **“We were making more margin.”** The Acronis team showed a demo of [Cyber Frame](https://www.acronis.com/en/platform/cyber-frame/), including automated migrations from legacy hypervisor solutions and hyperscale clouds along with new local, single server versions. If infrastructure control, flexibility and economics matter to your MSP, you'll want to watch this story for yourself. It is shaping up to be the win-win story for MSPs in 2027. ![Image 6: Figure 3.

But honestly, **you should see it**. * Watch how AI and automation can transform the MSP workday, automatically resolving tickets and prioritizing alerts. * Watch what automated client onboarding can look like, turning a multi-day ordeal into a streamlined, automated process taking only minutes. * See AI-assisted Service Desk workflows, Cyber Intelligence and Cyber Compliance in action. * See how Acronis MDR addresses security operations beyond normal business hours. * Hear directly from an MSP that turned a serious infrastructure challenge into better performance and higher margin by migrating his customer’s managed infrastructure to Cyber Frame. Finally, hear special guest [Jay McBain](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaymcbain/), Chief Analyst at [Omdia](https://omdia.tech.informa.com/), put the opportunities reshaping channels, partnerships and ecosystems into a broader industry context and explains why “now” matters most for MSPs. The market is moving. Your customers are moving. Attackers are moving. **The time to prepare was yesterday. The time to act is now.** [![Image 7: Missed the livestream?
