Channel partners will be able to access Acronis cybersecurity products from distributor Ingram Micro, as the two companies have signed a multiyear global distribution agreement.

The new distribution partnership comes on the heels of several new product announcements from Acronis, such as the rollout of Acronis Cyber Cloud 8.0, as well as a recently revamped partner program and $10 million investment in its Service Provider Incentive Program made possible by a recent $147 million investment by Goldman Sachs, announced in September.
