Cloud distributor Pax8 continues to expand and grow its vendor roster, adding Acronis and Dropsuite in the business continuity space, and IRONSCALES, Passportal and Proofpoint for different things within security.
Acronis has also added improved their ransomware protection and added runbooks to their disaster recovery orchestration, democratizing the process so it can be done without professional services. Previously announced Azure and Google Cloud integrations are also part of this release.
The deeper integration with the Azure cloud will let MSPs leverage Acronis for the Azure environment, instead of having to manage it themselves.
Support for the Google Cloud will be integrated into each Acronis solution at their next release, and Acronis will release a specific backup for Google’s G Suite before the first half of the year ends.

Acronis believes its path to growth and success is not in making a better product, but rather redefining what it means to back up data in workloads context.
A survey from Acronis shows companies are still struggling with BYOD, but education and other help from solution providers could help tame those issues.
