CloudFire provides flexible, pay-per-usage data protection that scales with clients’ needs — powered by Acronis.

Recognizing Italian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) needed easy, effective backup with predictable costs, CloudFire built its business on a centralized, multitenant solution using TIER IV Italian data centers, avoiding complex infrastructure and large upfront investments.

KEY CHALLENGES:

  • Italian SMEs needed effective, predictable, usage-based backup.
  • Centralized, multitenant management required.
  • Traditional solutions didn’t fit the “as a service” model.

KEY REQUIREMENTS:

  • Pay-per-usage, multitenant backup.
  • Single-agent technology for diverse needs.
  • Seamless integration with CloudFire’s service portfolio.

THE SOLUTION

From inception, CloudFire partnered with Acronis to deliver Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud as a fully integrated backup-as-a-service solution via its Cortex platform.

THE IMPACT

  • Single-agent for managing servers, workstations, and data.
  • Scalable, pay-per-usage backup aligned with CloudFire’s business model.
  • Opened new opportunities in data protection, business continuity, and cybersecurity.
  • Boosted brand visibility through Acronis-supported events and sponsorships.
  • Awarded Service Provider of the Year 2025.
