In the 21st century, Manchester City Football Club has become synonymous with success. The club won four consecutive Premier League titles from 2020-21 through 2023-24 and six in seven years. A particular football highlight thus far has been winning the UEFA Champions League in 2023.

As a result of this success, Manchester City experienced rapid growth and increased data volumes to match. In 2018, the club began a partnership with Acronis to support the club’s ongoing data backup work with Acronis Cyber Platform.
