In a bid to fortify its commitment to comprehensive cybersecurity, Acronis has announced major updates to its Cyber Protect Cloud price list, effective January 1, 2024. These changes encompass crucial modifications to tier upgrades, minimum monthly commitments, and enhancements to the Advanced Security offering.
- Acronis Advanced Security Changes:
Commencing on January 1, 2024, Acronis will merge its Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) functionality into the existing Advanced Security SKU. The rebranded product, Advanced Security + EDR, aims to seamlessly integrate EDR with backup and recovery, fostering a more robust approach to data protection. This will enable MSP partners to protect themselves and their customers with complete security at a very affordable price. Importantly, no additional action is required from partners in terms of license changes or upgrades.
- Minimum monthly commitment upgrade policy:
A new policy takes effect on January 1, 2024, wherein service provider partners can only upgrade their minimum monthly commitment to a tier higher than their previous monthly invoice.
- Introduction of new minimum monthly commitment tier:
A pivotal addition to the price list is the introduction of a new tier featuring a minimum monthly commitment of 500 USD. Tailored for new partners, this tier applies to service providers in the U.K., Ireland, the U.S., and Australia. Key adjustments include:
- S. MMC Tier 1: Increased from 250 USD to 500 USD.
- Australia MMC Tier 1: Adjusted from 350 AUD to 700 AUD.
- K. MMC Tier 1: Elevated from 175 GBP to 350 GBP.
- Ireland MMC Tier 1: Raised from 250 EUR to 500 EUR.
For other regions, a new minimum monthly commitment tier (500 USD) has been introduced, offering service providers a more seamless upgrade path, particularly those operating between the existing tier 1 (250 USD) and tier 2 (1,000 USD).
Updated Acronis price list is readily available on the Partner Portal.
