What is BYOD? (Bring your own Device)? - Acronis
BYOD is an acronym for “Bring Your Own Device.” It is a growing industry trend where an employee uses their own personal devices – computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. – to connect to the company network and perform company work instead of using a company-issued device. Intel was the first company to introduce the BYOD concept in 2009. Other companies, including Unisys, IBM, and Citrix Systems soon followed suit.  In 2019, the BYOD market was valued at $186.09 billion and is expected to reach $30.45 billion by 2025, with a Compounded Average Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15% over the forecast period from 2020 through 2025.

5nine is Now Part of the Acronis Ecosystem
5nine Software, Inc. was acquired by Acronis in December 2019. All your favorite 5nine software products are still available and, other than having been rebranded, remain the same. If you’ve been using (or selling) 5nine Cloud Manager, 5nine Cloud Migration, or 5nine Cloud Security – for Hyper-V and for Azure – your software continues to be supported and your existing licenses are still valid. The only changes are that 5nine Cloud Manager Free is now found on the Acronis Cloud Manager free trial page, and instead of contacting 5nine Support when you need assistance you’ll contact Acronis Support. Unfortunately, if you had a 5nine login, you will need to create a new Acronis account, but the process is quick and easy.
