Update enables service providers to further extend protection
across workloads while optimizing infrastructure management
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, November 30, 2021 - Acronis,
the global leader in cyber protection, today released a set of
enhanced capabilities for the company's flagship, all-in-one cyber
protection platform for service providers. These additions enable
MSPs to deliver comprehensive protection across a greater set of
workloads while streamlining their own management processes, and
represent the continued evolution of the platform in response to
users' real needs in a shifting IT landscape.
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud + Advanced Packs
Combining best-in-breed backup with next-generation
cybersecurity and management, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud delivers
optimal protection for sensitive data, applications, and systems.
As IT environments become more complex and cybercriminals adopt new
tactics, Acronis' solution continues evolving faster to address
growing protection demands.
The November 2021 update includes features to optimize the
infrastructure management for service providers, extend protection
across more environments, and provide clients with a smoother data
recovery experience:
- Improved usage reports make it easy to match usage metrics to their respective prices in the price list, and to hone in on the most relevant data points
- Additional backup and recovery options for VMWare Cloud Director backup operators to exercise more granular control over tenants' data protection and ensure compliance with relevant data control policies
- Anti-malware and anti-ransomware protection support for Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 strengthens the resilience of clients' IT environments
- A web installer for macOS simplifies provisioning by eliminating the need to download separate installers depending on whether the target system uses an Intel or Apple M1 CPU
Additionally, two of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's optional
advanced protection packs have been updated with new
functionality:
- Off-host data processing (Advanced Backup pack) reduces demand on clients' workloads by offloading backup replication, validation, retention and conversion operations to a virtual machine. By converting backups into Scale Computing HC3 VMs, providers can simply boot from the virtual machine to achieve near-zero RTOs.
- Logical volume (LVM) support (Advanced Disaster Recovery pack) extends Acronis' disaster recovery capabilities to users' physical and virtual Linux workloads
Acronis Cyber Files Cloud
Today's workforce is more distributed than ever, and remote
collaboration support is a necessity. Acronis' November 2021 cloud
update includes usability improvements for Acronis Cyber Files
Cloud, the company's secure file sync-and-share solution designed
for service providers. Uploading has been simplified with the
introduction of drag-and-drop support directly into the web UI,
while changes to how files and folders are displayed adds greater
visibility for end users.
Integrations
The November 2021 update also introduces usability improvements
related to Acronis' integrations with popular third-party
tools:
- A new Integrations tab in the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud console provides one-click access to integration management
- Support for two-way quota sync between Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud and ConnectWise Manage automates the process of updating services and agreements
- Support for service name auto-creation within Autotask PSA reduces manual work and automates the process of mapping services
"We are constantly collecting feedback from our partners -
through partner advisory councils, peer groups, events and surveys
- and prioritize our roadmap based on partner needs," said Gaidar
Magdanurov, Acronis Chief Success Officer. "The new update to our
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud addresses the need of our partners to
protect more workloads and provide better reporting and user
experience to their customers."
