Channel Strong in Denver: The Positive Vibes Tour rolls on
Iconic might just be the word for the stop on our Channel Strong: Positive Vibes Tour made in Denver today. Not just because we had super-awesome hosts, but because we had such a great event. In the spirit of community support, we were able to collect a lot more food for the food bank, but unlike yesterday’s stop in Kansas City, today’s donations included pet food. That’s something I never even would have thought about. Our tour partners PAX8 brought in a few carloads of food too! In addition to the food collection, today’s stop enabled us to give a boost to two downtown small businesses who’ve been hit hard by the lockdown.

Arsenal FC seamlessly transitions to working from home during lockdown with help from Acronis
Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, Arsenal had been working hard to implement new technology to allow its workforce to work from home on an ad-hoc basis. This included the implementation of collaborative and cloud-based technology. Then the crisis hit. According to Christelle Heikkila, IT Director at Arsenal, “we had a seamless transition for our entire workforce to work from home as soon as lockdown started, from every department around the world as far as Singapore and Australia.” Acronis has been with Arsenal every step of the way, taking proactive measures to keep Arsenal cyber safe, including the provision of backups for its cloud-based data to give it additional peace of mind. Arsenal was also an early adopter of Acronis Cyber Protect, which has cybersecurity features like a full-stack antivirus solution, vulnerability assessments, patch management, and URL filtering. Here's a look at how their transition went.

CompTIA’s ChannelCON nailed it!
Connection. If there’s one word that best sums up what CompTIA is all about, it’s “connection”. It connects the global IT community as we all learn, grow, and navigate this amazing channel. One of the best parts of CompTIA is that no matter what the goal is – from new and innovative certifications or trust marks to political lobby missions to conferences aimed at bringing vendors and partners together – CompTIA is all about building relationships. And I’ve personally seen many of those relationships turn into true friendships.

Organizations dealing with especially sensitive data can’t allow for any level of data loss or compromise. To achieve this level of privacy and security, many rely on ‘ hardened’, air-gapped networks that limit their environment’s attack surface but also limit the solutions that can effectively be introduced to help with daily operations.

Save data securely in the cloud with Acronis
Saving internal data securely in the cloud is the main requirement companies place on Managed Service Provider (MSP). Since damages from water or fire in the office space can destroy all computer data including backups irretrievably. However, if the data is backed up in a cloud data centre, MSP can restore it immediately in case of an emergency. In this way, data storage is in professional hands with a double backup.
