Acronis and whitesky.cloud announce strategic partnership in Benelux

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, August 16, 2022- Acronis, the global leader in cyber protection, and Belgian whitesky.cloud, a white label cloud solution, announced today the signing of a new partnership to attend the Benelux region.
Based in Lochristi, Belgium, whitesky.cloud offers white label cloud computing solutions for MSPs, telecom and integrators. The partnership agreement with Acronis means that the cloud distributor can now offer the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud solution to all its partners. The company is expanding its portfolio of cybersecurity solutions, adding this comprehensive offering of backup, anti-virus protection, next-generation AI-driven antimalware protection and endpoint protection management.
"I got in touch with Acronis earlier this year during an event in Belgium. Less than an hour later we had the framework for this solution. A few conversations later and after strategic input from Acronis top management, the solution was ready", says Jeroen Van Langenhove, Managing Director at whitesky.cloud.
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is a purpose-built solution for service providers who can now offer this industry-leading solution to their customers in a single installation to enhance data protection with additional on-demand services. Its integration and automation capabilities facilitate the work of service providers by reducing complexity, increasing productivity and lowering operating costs. At a time when data control is becoming more and more important, this partnership meets the greatest needs. And the data is additionally protected with the cybersecurity solutions that are a standard part of the offering. In practical terms, smaller automation companies can protect their data against malware and ransomware in a more cost-effective way, without compromising on protection or knowledge.
Floris Van Miert, Acronis Strategic Partner Manager says: "We are very excited about this evolution. The flexibility of whitesky.cloud so that the data is not locked into one data centre, and can also be stored locally is unique and makes this solution much more powerful for the end user".
Jeroen confirms the enthusiasm: "We wanted to push the boundaries of our existing solution and play up our expertise and added value and that's how backupsky.cloud was born," he explains. "Companies can now come to us for a personalized cloud including Cyber Protect from Acronis. We're very committed to keeping our customers' data safe".
