Cyber security outfit Acronis has scored a contract with English Premier League Football Club West Ham United.
Ingram Micro will support the partnership as the Acronis’ #CyberFit Partner, in line with the Acronis #TeamUp program for services providers and cloud distributors.
The Club‘s IT department will use Acronis Cyber Protect. This technology, it is claimed, combines automation and integration, ensuring the prevention, detection, response, recovery, and analysis needed to safeguard workloads while “streamlining” protection efforts.
West Ham commercial director Nathan Thompson said: “We are thrilled to team up with Acronis as the Club’s Official Cyber Protection Partner. Protecting our data, which includes that of our supporters, is of the highest priority for us and Acronis is the perfect partner to help us do so. Acronis are the industry benchmark of quality and security and are a company we are looking forward to working very closely with over the coming seasons”.
Acronis Veep Ronan McCurtin said: “At the highest level of competition, data is a critical asset in football. Acronis’ solutions are perfectly suited for a high-pressure, digitally intensive environment. We are proud to partner with West Ham United and look forward to our joint projects in the future. We are confident this partnership will benefit West Ham United, Acronis, and all our partners and customers.” ♦
