Recognizing the power of cyber protection: Acronis gets $250M+ investment, valuation at $2.5B+
A new day is dawning for Acronis and the IT industry. Today we announced that Acronis has secured more than $250 million in a funding round led by CVC Capital Partners VII and other investors, bringing our valuation to more than $2.5 billion. More than doubling our valuation in 18 months – especially during a global pandemic – is a testament to the power of Acronis’ cyber protection technology and the dedication of our network of more than 50,000 partners.  This funding round comes at a pivotal time, as Acronis has been intensifying our support for service provider partners to deliver cyber protection to businesses of any size.  These funds will immediately be used to further accelerate our current growth strategy.

Continuous data protection: What you need to know
Today’s business users are more reliant on data than ever before, so any downtime or data loss can devastate an organization. Since data loss can happen at any moment, as a service provider you need to restore your clients’ business-critical data as quickly as possible.  How quickly they get back to normal depends on when you last backed up their data. Poor data protection can set them back hours, days, or perhaps weeks – severely impact their employees’ productivity and the organization’s long-term viability.

Building MSP cybersecurity services isn’t hard with the right advice
Small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) struggled through a fretful year of sudden pandemic-driven changes: employees forced to work from home, sensitive data abruptly moved to cloud-based SaaS applications, and a baffling array of new cyberthreats – including 350,000 new malware threats being identified every day and a 400% increase in cybercrime last year being reported by the FBI. For 2021, that last challenge is particularly daunting: few SMBs are capable of keeping pace with a daily barrage of ransomware attacks, tech supply-chain incursions like the SolarWinds breach, and severe vulnerabilities like Microsoft’s recent Exchange Server fiasco – especially in light of their paltry tech budgets and headcount. SMBs are desperate to outsource these problems, and that presents a huge opportunity for MSPs willing to step up and help.

Why every MSP should invest in a disaster recovery solution?
As a managed service provider (MSP), you offer your clients a variety of IT resources to remotely manage part or all of their IT infrastructures, which can include managing their operating systems, applications, databases, networks, endpoints, as well as ensuring security, compliance, and backup. Many organizations will buy your services because it is a less expensive option or, more importantly, because you bring the right tools, expertise, and best practices to support more complex, mission-critical IT functions.
