Adding unified cloud management and security tools to solution portfolio for MSPs

Acronis International GmbH announced the acquisition of 5nine, Inc., provider of Hyper-V and Azure cloud management and security solutions.

Acronis will integrate 5nine’s technology into its Cyber Platform, making new services available through the Acronis Cyber Cloud Solutions portal.

5nine’s solutions will enable MSPs and IT organizations to simplify cloud service orchestration, create new business, and manage their customers’ needs.

The two companies will offer customers and partners an easier way to migrate workloads from their physical or virtual infrastructure to Acronis Cyber Infrastructure, Microsoft Azure or both. 5nine’s ability to unify cloud migration, management, monitoring, and innovative workload management tools and processes enables customers to cover the five vectors of Cyber Protection – ensuring the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS) of all data, applications, and systems.

By combining with Acronis, we will be able to accelerate product innovation, expand our distribution channel, and leverage our existing technology to meet customer requirements,” said Karen Armor, CEO, 5nine. “With the knowledge gained from almost a decade of experience managing and protecting Microsoft VMs on behalf of our customers, we are certain that this acquisition will drive cloud adoption and ensure secure and reliable cloud infrastructure deployments worldwide.”

Acronis sees the value in offering 5nine’s services to its community of 50,000 partners in the IT channel, enabling MSPs and cloud service providers to better manage their hybrid infrastructure workloads. Its ability to meet infrastructure deployment requirements by location, budget, and use case provides them with the ultimate in control and flexibility to deliver cyber protection with Acronis Cyber Infrastructure, Microsoft Azure, and more.

By adding 5nine’s solutions to our portfolio of cyber protection products and services, we’re giving our partners and customers an easy way to adopt the Microsoft hybrid cloud platform. With a combined solution, organizations will be able to migrate all or select workloads to the cloud and then manage both on-premises and cloud VMs with a single interface. We envision combining the functionality of the two solutions by extending Acronis’ easy-to-use, single pane of glass, resulting in IT administrators monitoring, managing and ensuring cyber protection for all workloads, regardless of their location,” said Serguei SB Beloussov, Acronis founder and CEO.

Acronis plans to invest in and develop 5nine’s Cloud Management, Cloud Migration and Security Platform.

Both companies have experience and reach into the Microsoft ecosystem and as Microsoft Gold Certified partners plan on continuing to innovate as Microsoft Azure gains further adoption.
