SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, May 17, 2021- Acronis
announced today that it has added 4Sight Dynamics Africa, a
subsidiary of 4Sight, the multi-national and diversified technology
group, as a cloud distributor for Central Europe, Middle East and
Africa, thereby continuing to intensify its investments and
development on the African continent.
4Sight Dynamics Africa, with an existing partner ecosystem now
spanning over 51 countries will represent Acronis as a cloud
distributor across the entire Africa, but also Middle East as well
as Central Europe. "Whilst we envisage that we will offer and
support the full ambit of the feature rich Acronis platform, we
believe that many of our resellers will be focussing specifically
on the backup and disaster recovery capabilities together with the
Acronis Cyber Protection features", said Nick Botha, Managing
Director at 4Sight Dynamics Africa.
4Sight has a rich history on the African continent dating back
to their first Alliance territories setup as far back as 2006.
Since that time both the traditional Alliance Branches as well as
the purely focussed cloud reseller base have grown in
representation now spanning virtually the entire Africa and Middle
Eastern region.
Peter French, General Manager for Middle East and Africa at
Acronis says, "there is a growing demand from customers for an
efficient protection of their critical data. Acronis' solutions
such as Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud answer that need by offering
both innovative possibilities including anti-ransomware technology
and hybrid cloud architecture. By adding 4Sight Dynamics Africa as
our newest Cloud Distributor, we aim at tackling the large demand
for cloud solutions with integrated backup, anti-virus,
anti-malware, and DRaaS. Businesses in Africa are understanding
more and more the need to keep their data safe and any solution
that provides integrated data protection and cybersecurity for
enterprise, as Acronis does, is currently in highest demand."
"We are excited about the opportunities we will be able to
unlock for our channel partners through the partnership with
Acronis. It has been said that data is the oil of the new digital
economy and in this current global pandemic and we believe going
forward post pandemic times, data protection and cybersecurity will
remain a top priority for all organisations of all sizes. The ease
of use and breath of the Acronis platform was key to our selection
of Acronis as specialised security vendor and as a cloud
distributor, we look forward to helping Acronis expand its
footprint through our wide network of channel partners," adds
Botha.
