Scale Computing and Acronis Announce Business Resilience System for MSPs

Scale Computing, Inc. and Acronis International GmbH announce the availability of Business Resilience System (BRS) for MSPs, purpose built for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, a scalable business resilience appliance that allows for instant recovery of all critical workloads in an environment, regardless of where those workloads are running.

Integrated with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, the BRS for MSPs solution delivers the agility of a hybrid cloud data protection platform, and gives service providers the confidence that they will meet SLAs and improve recovery times even under the most challenging circumstances.

The 2 companies partnered closely on the integrated technology powering the BRS for MSPs appliance family to give service providers the flexibility to backup VMware, Hyper-V, Scale Computing HC3 or even physical workloads and endpoints, and then power them on as VMs on the local BRS appliance at a moment’s notice. Utilizing the convert to VM functionality in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, this allows BRS to function as a local backup and DR target for any environment, giving MSPs the ability to get critical workloads backup and running on-premises at a fraction of the cost of other solutions.

With deeper and low cost storage, virtualization capability, and integration with Acronis, the BRS is a new breed of HC3 appliance purpose-built for the BCDR needs of MSPs.

The 2 partners are delivering a solution with simple management, easy scalability, and cost-effective pricing, thereby helping organizations standardize their production and BC systems while simultaneously improving business outcomes and resilience.
