There’s been an unprecedented shift in how service providers and resellers are tasked with keeping their clients productive and protected. The adoption of cloud-based solutions and services was well underway before the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated that transformation. Acronis’ cloud ecosystem more than doubled since 2018. While new client demands can mean new strains for our channel partners, Acronis wants to make things easier – and more profitable – for you. That’s why we’ve unveiled the new Acronis #CyberFit Partner Program.

MSPs: Start the new year off with time-saving improvements
If we learned one thing in 2020, it was that time is valuable, especially when you’re trying to keep all of your clients happy, productive, and protected. Managed service providers (MSPs) don’t have time to waste on clunky platforms or solutions. They need technologies that are reliable and streamline things so they can address the next issue – or maybe even get home for dinner on time. As your partner, Acronis wants to help your team make the most out of the time you spend helping clients. That’s why, in addition to making some welcome UX improvements, we’re rolling out some time-saving capabilities in the January release of Acronis Cyber Cloud.

That’s because D&H Distributing, a leading provider of SMB and consumer technologies to the North American high-tech channel, has formed a new partnership with Acronis to make our comprehensive range of cyber protection solutions available to its service provider partners through the D&H Cloud Marketplace.

What is cloud-based security and how does it work?
Many organizations are moving their applications and data to the cloud rather than incurring the costs of purchasing hardware and running/maintaining on-premises applications.
