Managed service providers (MSPs) rely on Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud to protect customers, manage operations efficiently and automate routine work. However, billing, one of the most critical operational processes, often remains manual, fragmented and error prone. This is why Acronis has now introduced a free, automated billing module which is available to all Acronis partners natively within the platform.

MSPs want to grow. Yet the cost of growth keeps eating the margin that extra growth was supposed to deliver. Traditionally, more customers means more endpoints, more tools, more alerts, more billing entities, more compliance frameworks. Headcount scales with the work, but margins don't seem to keep up. That problem has a new shape now. AI is changing how every IT environment is built, run and protected and the speed at which they are done.

As DevOps environments become primary attack surfaces, protecting your intellectual property (IP) requires a data-driven understanding of the modern threat landscape. The 2026 “DevOps Threats Unwrapped Report” by GitProtect accelerates building your cyber awareness. It brings you the latest statistics, highlighting contemporary trends in DevSecOps. It also dives into dozens of real attacks and breaches affecting SaaS platforms in 2025 in 10 different areas.

BDRShield v9.1.0, released o May 6, 2026, brings practical improvements that speed backups, strengthen recover-ability, and give admins clearer visibility—especially for distributed sites, and MSP operations. This update focuses on...

As enterprises modernize infrastructure, the shift toward self-service virtualization on Kubernetes is accelerating. Platforms such as Mirantis k0rdent AI and k0rdent Enterprise feature KubeVirt-based virtualization, enabling organizations to deliver on-demand infrastructure while maintaining governance controls.

The backup finished. The dashboard shows a green tick. You close the laptop and go home. But what if that green tick is lying to you? It sounds dramatic. It is not. Across organisations of every size, backups complete successfully every night while quietly storing corrupted data, broken recovery chains, or in the worst cases, malware that hitched a ride before the snapshot was taken. Nobody knows. Nothing alerts. The tick stays green. The problem only surfaces the moment you need the backup most.

Your database crashes at 2 PM, but your last backup ran at midnight. That’s 14 hours of lost transactions, customer records, and operational data. The gap between your last usable backup and the moment disaster strikes is exactly what the recovery point objective (RPO) defines. Most organizations don’t think seriously about it until they’re already staring at the damage. RPO in disaster recovery planning determines whether you lose five minutes of data or five days of it.

MSPs managing hundreds or thousands of endpoints cannot afford remote support that lives in a separate tool, on a separate license, with a separate login and a separate workflow. Every extra console adds friction between monitoring, troubleshooting, patching, and security response. That is exactly why AI remote desktop matters now: not as a buzzword, but as a way to shorten the path from issue detection to issue resolution while keeping technicians in one operational environment.

Author: Alexander Ivanyuk, Senior Director, Technology AI is moving fast, and with that speed comes a new set of terms that many business readers are now hearing for the first time: RAG and MCP. They may sound technical, but the ideas behind them are actually practical. They describe how modern AI systems get better information, connect to business tools, and, in some cases, go beyond answering questions to carrying out work.
