What's new

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud

Register workloads under partner account

Register workloads without customer account credentials specification. Increase your efficiency by getting more management operations on partner level.​

RMM and PSA integrations

Integration with HaloPSA

A new integration between Acronis and HaloPSA that will save MSPs hours of manual work by automating customer management from tenant and product provisioning, to ticket resolution and usage reporting and billing.

Partners can now link their HaloPSA customers to new and existing Acronis customer tenants, link HaloPSA recurring items to Acronis offering items, provisioning/deprovisioning Acronis offering items for customer tenants based on HaloPSA recurring invoices, offer prepaid, pay-as-you-go and prepaid with overage billing models.  They will also enjoy the benefits of automatic ticket creation in HaloPSA from alerts in Acronis, automatic ticket resolution in HaloPSA from Acronis alert clearance, automatic alert clearance in Acronis from ticket resolution in HaloPSA and configuration options for customer provisioning and tickets-alerts synchronization.
