New MSP Initiative Provides Incremental Business
Opportunities to Channel Partners
London, UK, 6 June, 2011 Acronis, a leading provider of easy
to use disaster recovery and data protection solutions for
physical, virtual and cloud environments, today launched a new
initiative targeting Managed Services Providers (MSPs).
Responding to the strong demand from its partner community, the
Acronis MSP Programme offers a monthly subscription-based licensing
model for MSPs who would like to provide award-winning Acronis® Backup &
Recovery™ 10 products as part of managed services to their
customers.
The programme is designed with a low entry cost and flexibility
in licensing so partners can get up and running quickly and benefit
from recurring, predictable revenue which grows as their business
scales. Partners also have the ability to easily move licenses
between customers.
Softcat has become the first software licensor in the UK to join
the initiative and is now offering Acronis MSP licenses.
"We are seeing a strong demand from our MSP community for cost
effective backup and recovery software. Acronis is perfect for this
with its established disk imaging disaster recovery technology and
its channel driven model," explains Dave Simpson, Commercial
Director at Softcat.
As part of the initiative, Softcat is also offering the vendor's
optional Acronis
Academy training programme to MSPs. The in-depth training and
certification programme provides partners with the technical skills
they require in order to provide Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.
David Blackman, General Manager Northern Europe at Acronis
said, "One of Acronis' goals is to provide our channel partners
with the right tools to help them grow. This is the reason we
developed this initiative for MSPs looking for robust backup and
recovery solutions. We look forward to expanding our channel
ecosystem and allowing new partners to take advantage of the MSP
programme."
