Acronis announced the acquisition of Synapsys, its long-time partner located in Cape Town, South Africa that specializes in distributing Acronis Cyber Protection Solutions through the service provider channel.

Synapsys is a channel-centric group of companies that delivers Acronis Cyber Protection Solutions to thousands of customers through a network of sub-distributors, resellers, and managed service providers in South Africa and across the continent.

It is comprised of two businesses: Synapsys Systems Limited, a specialist software distributor and the region's Authorized Acronis Distributor for on-premises solutions since 2003, and Synapsys Distribution Limited, which services the MSP market using the Acronis Cyber Cloud service provider platform.

"Synapsys has been a trusted and valuable partner in our efforts to extend our cyber protection solutions to organizations across the African continent. This acquisition will give their users direct access to our technology and support," said Serguei "SB" Beloussov, Acronis' Founder and CEO. "At the same time, Africa is becoming a strategic growth opportunity for Acronis and acquiring Synapsys provides us with a permanent presence on the continent. The move is beneficial for Acronis, the African MSP channel, and the organizations and users that need to safeguard their workloads and systems against the modern threat landscape."

As demand for cloud and managed services increases around the world, it creates opportunities for service providers who deliver Acronis Cyber Protection Solutions.

After a planned transition period, Synapsys will be integrated into Acronis and will be responsible for all Africa Sales of Acronis' world-class cyber protection solutions.
