Acronis Accelerate: The journey to autonomous IT continues

On July 30, Acronis hosted “Acronis Accelerate: The Journey to Autonomous IT,” the second event in its special Acronis Accelerate series. Building on the vision introduced at the previous event in May, in this edition Acronis moved from strategy to action, showing partners how Acronis is turning AI-native cyber platform thinking into real products, live workflows and practical opportunities for growth.

Thousands of partners, service providers, distributors and technology leaders joined to explore one central idea: Technology is moving from AI that answers to AI that acts. For MSPs, that shift matters now.

Customers want faster service, stronger protection, lower costs and more intelligent support. MSPs are managing more endpoints, more alerts, more infrastructure pressure and more complexity. The old answer of adding more tools, more people and more manual process has reached its limit.

The event focused on the next stage of the MSP journey: Moving from reactive operations to automated workflows, then to intelligent decisions and ultimately toward Autonomous IT.

This does not mean removing people from the process. It means giving technicians, business teams and service leaders better tools to act faster, with more context and more control. AI can summarize, recommend, enrich, automate and execute. But the value comes when those capabilities are connected to the systems MSPs already use to protect, manage, support and grow their customers.

That is why Acronis is not approaching AI as a set of isolated add-ons but an AI-native cyber platform organized around the idea of By AI, With AI, For AI. Using AI to build faster and more securely, embedding AI into daily MSP operations and helping partners protect and manage increasingly AI-driven customer environments.

“Our choice is not to bolt disconnected AI features onto old tools. We are investing in the foundation … a common platform where protection, management, automation, infrastructure, data and AI work together.” — Acronis CEO, Jan-Jaap Jager

Acronis Accelerate brought several major capabilities together into one story.

• Acronis Cyber Frame is the partner cloud infrastructure for MSPs. With integrated protection, backup, disaster recovery, security, remote access, management and automation, Cyber Frame gives partners a path to build more controlled and profitable infrastructure services.
• Acronis Cyber Console is the single AI-native workspace for MSPs designed to bring technical operations, business workflows, partner services, automation and AI agents into one experience, giving teams one place to work and one shared context for action.
• Acronis Cyber Intelligence turns operational and business data into prioritized decisions. Instead of forcing teams to search through reports, Cyber Intelligence surfaces risks, identifies opportunities, and recommends next actions across customers, contracts and protected workloads.
• Acronis Service Desk can help reduce alert and ticket overload. By correlating related alerts, enriching tickets with context, analyzing possible causes, and preparing or executing remediation steps within defined guardrails, Service Desk points toward a future where technicians spend less time reconstructing the problem and more time improving outcomes.
• Acronis Cyber Studio enables partners to create and govern agentic workflows. MSPs operate differently, with different customers, policies, risk levels and escalation rules. Cyber Studio will let partners describe workflows in natural language, review what agents will do, set approval points, and keep control over how automation runs. With Acronis Cyber Studio, service providers remain in control.
• The Acronis Cyber Partner Program connects the technology story to partner growth. Rather than treating partner enablement as a separate portal or process, program status, benefits, credits, marketing funds, enablement and growth opportunities are part of the same connected experience. The new program makes it easier to do business with Acronis and make growth visible and rewarding.
• Constructor Fabric adds an important developer and ecosystem layer. An open-source AI fabric for SaaS and developed in partnership between Acronis, Constructor Group and Virtuozzo, Constructor Fabric helps teams define, build, run, measure and optimize software development with guardrails, reusable components, productivity insights and automation. For partners and developers, this creates a new way to customize, extend and build around the Acronis platform.

Together, these capabilities represent more than feature announcements and product launches. They are a connected operating model for MSPs in the AI era that combines infrastructure, intelligence, automation, service delivery, developer opportunity and partner growth in one AI-native platform strategy.

For existing Acronis partners, the message is clear: Acronis Cyber Platform is expanding in ways that can help you protect margins, reduce operational friction and create new service opportunities.

For prospective MSP partners, the opportunity is to join a platform built around the future of managed services, not around disconnected point tools.

For distributors, this creates a stronger growth story for the channel — infrastructure, automation, intelligence, partner enablement and developer opportunity brought together in a way that helps service providers act now.

Partner voices reinforced the same points. Jürgen Weiss, Head of Managed Operations at ARES and CISO of sigma vista, described Cyber Frame as infrastructure “built starting from our business model, not adapted from someone else’s,” adding that if an MSP does not control the foundation, it does not control the service or margin built on top of it.

That is the business issue behind the technology story. AI will change how MSPs operate, and what customers expect from them. The winners will not simply add AI features. They will build a more intelligent operating model.

The journey to Autonomous IT is already underway. The next move is yours.
