Acronis partners with Entanet to extend access for UK MSPs

Acronis, a global provider of an AI-native cyber platform for MSPs and IT departments, entered a partnership with Entanet, a UK-based wholesale connectivity provider with more than 30 years of experience in the channel. Under the arrangement, Entanet, as an Acronis Cloud Provisioner Partner, will extend access to Acronis technology for MSPs across the UK.

Stated goals include helping MSPs widen their managed services and meet customers' rising security and business continuity requirements, while lowering the complexity of managing several technologies at once.

Acronis brings integrated cybersecurity, data protection, and IT management capabilities, and Entanet contributes its established presence in the UK channel. Entanet's own offering will also include integrated cybersecurity and data protection, giving MSPs access to additional technology as they develop services shaped by customer needs.

“MSPs are taking on greater responsibility for their customers' IT environments, and that creates additional demands on the teams delivering those services,” said Jo Holliday, General Manager, UKI & South Africa, at Acronis.

“Entanet has an established understanding of the UK channel and the challenges service providers face. Through this partnership, we can help more MSPs bring cybersecurity, data protection, and IT management together, giving them the capabilities to support a broader range of customer needs without adding unnecessary operational complexity.”

“Working with Acronis is an important step in expanding the capabilities we can offer our partners,” said Tom O’Hagan, Entanet CEO. The companies described plans for MSPs to develop services around customer needs using the combined technology.
