Acronis drives new opportunities for MSPs and ISVs

The growing network of integrations drives automation, improves quality, and enhances efficiency across tools and services, enabling ISVs to meet the needs of MSPs

As Acronis reaches nearly 300 integrations in the Acronis Technology Ecosystem, the cybersecurity vendor reinforces its position as one of the largest vendor ecosystems in the managed service provider (MSP) space.

The Acronis Technology Partner Program continues to experience steady growth, averaging 40 new integrations each year. The increase in the expanded Acronis ecosystem now enables MSPs to consolidate multiple tools on a single platform, boosting operational efficiency and accelerating service adoption.

With the capability to integrate a wide range of tools into the Acronis platform, MSPs can reduce the complexity of managing multiple systems and free up valuable resources. This not only enhances efficiency but also expands service offerings and ultimately boosts profitability.

According to Acronis, the interest from MSP-focused technology companies seeking to integrate into the platform has risen significantly over the last year. Acronis technology partners span a diverse range of categories providing ISVs visibility and access to Acronis’ MSP community of over 21,000 active partners.

The new technology partners that’ve joined the Acronis Ecosystem include Actifile, Auvik, Josys, RealVNC, SIGNL4, Storage Guardian, and Timus Networks. These integrations enhance the capabilities of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud partners with solutions for data archiving, encryption and data loss prevention (DLP), SaaS management, remote desktop and assistance, cloud management, secure access service edge (SASE) and zero trust network access (ZTNA), as well as advanced alerting and notifications.

Gaidar Magdanurov, President at Acronis commented that the Acronis Cyber Protect platform is designed to boost MSP productivity and growth with natively integrated endpoint management, cybersecurity, and data protection, and with an open ecosystem to consolidate operations across any number of tools MSPs need to meet customer needs.

“There are multiple tools MSPs may have in their arsenal, that’s why we focus on integrating with the tools MSPs already rely on. Many MSPs already depend on Acronis for cybersecurity, backup and endpoint management, while also using platforms and products from other vendors. Acronis partners collectively activated over 11,000 integrations, including widely used integrations with other RMMs and PSAs as well as with Microsoft tools such as Intune, Entra ID, and Sentinel,” said Magdanurov.

The Acronis CyberApp Standard development framework enables ISVs to quickly integrate and deploy their applications within the Acronis platform. This streamlined process opens the door to collaborative growth opportunities by giving ISVs access to Acronis’ extensive global network of over 21,000 service providers—enhancing visibility, expanding reach, and driving new business potential.

The Acronis Ecosystem

The Acronis Technology Ecosystem is a collaborative network comprising nearly 300 technology partners, including ISVs, service providers, and system integrators. By integrating third-party products and services into Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, the ecosystem enhances the platform’s capabilities, fostering long-term partnerships and delivering unparalleled value to MSPs and ISVs worldwide.

According to Acronis, the most widely used integrations within the ecosystem include Atera, ConnectWise, HaloPSA, Microsoft Intune, LogMeIn, and Jamf. Integration partners Rewst and Auvik have experienced strong growth and increased momentum since joining the Acronis Ecosystem.

For Charlier Tomeo, CRO at Rewst, partnering with Acronis has been a game-changer for them. Tomeo said that Acronis’ ecosystem and commitment to collaboration have helped expand their market reach.

“Acronis remains a top integration for MSPs to automate backup workflows, saving technicians from manually installing agents and monitoring devices. We increased our investment this year to help even more partners worldwide realize the value of the Rewst-Acronis partnership,” added Tomeo.

Meanwhile, John Harden, Director, Strategy & Technology Evangelism at Auvik, commented, “We like to meet customers where they work. The Acronis platform’s unified approach enables us to do that with our Auvik SaaS Management offering. Here at Auvik, we’re thrilled to be part of this dynamic ecosystem and grow within it.”

Acronis partners benefit from accelerated partnership opportunities, joint marketing initiatives, co-branded campaigns, and access to Marketing Development Funds (MDF). Acronis also offers a range of programs designed to help vendors maximize their integration and drive business growth.

Justin Jilg, Vice President of Alliances at Acronis believes the vendors who collaborate and invest in a relationship with Acronis maximize the usage of their integrations.

“The Technology Partner Program is especially good for up-and-coming vendors and those who wish to gain channel presence. It helps these vendors have a smooth entrance into the MSP space and accelerate their growth using Acronis marketing resources,” added Jilg.
