The latest cyber cloud data centre enhances data protection, geo-redundant storage and regulatory compliance for service provider clients while empowering MSPs with comprehensive cyber protection solutions.
Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, in partnership with IONOS, a leading European digitalisation partner for small and medium-sized businesses, has announced the availability of a new cyber cloud data centre in Berlin, Germany. This joint initiative brings a powerful combination of cloud infrastructure and advanced cyber protection to the European market.
As a new addition to Acronis’ global network of cyber cloud data centres, partners can now access a comprehensive range of cyber protection solutions, empowering them to create new services and offerings to manage their clients’ data protection needs more efficiently and effectively with faster access, continuous data availability and the added benefit of data sovereignty.
Strategically located in Berlin, the new cyber cloud data centre is hosted within the IONOS cloud infrastructure. It is paired with IONOS’ Frankfurt facility to deliver geo-redundant storage with close proximity between the two sites. This distance ensures an added layer of protection and Disaster Recovery for businesses while combining Acronis’ cybersecurity expertise. Together, it guarantees comprehensive defence against modern cyberthreats led by providers who are both committed to providing highly reliable solutions backed by ISO standards and strong Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
New services such as Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) are also expected to be introduced, further enriching the offerings for clients seeking both performance and security.

Together, we are ensuring that businesses can protect their data and systems while scaling their operations securely and efficiently.”
This announcement further expands upon Acronis’ dedication to provide updated solutions for its customers by integrating advanced hardware components, robust network infrastructure and high-performance storage systems reminiscent of leading data centres globally. With the proximity of a cyber cloud data centre closer to Acronis users, the benefits are vast. Acronis continues to safeguard customer data, now with the added advantage of a more localised presence.
“The launch of the Acronis cyber cloud data centre in Berlin strengthens our global network, ensuring that our customers can meet local regulatory compliance, and be equipped with enhanced connectivity. We are continuously expanding our cyber cloud data centre footprint to provide unparalleled data protection solutions. Our cutting-edge offerings are crafted to boost global availability and meet the unique needs of our service providers and their clients,” added Fritz.
The company’s new infrastructure brings together progressive technology designed to meet corporate and regulatory needs. The new cyber cloud data centre in Berlin holds a Tier III standard – an international reliability measurement for data centre structure. This enables partners to surpass compliance requirements, data sovereignty and performance.
Additionally, C5, ISO 27001 certifications assure commitment to connectivity and safety of all operations. Acronis cyber cloud data centres worldwide adhere to the strictest security standards to restrict unauthorised physical access and protect the security of client data.
