Case Study: Dallas Stars achieves unified cyber protection and colocation cost savings with Acronis

Dallas Stars Scores Infrastructure Hat Trick with Acronis Cyber Backup and Acronis Cyber Disaster Recovery

The Dallas Stars, an NHL team, faced fragmented backup services (Veeam and CloudBerry via an MSP), no protection for nearly 200 workstations, unreliable off-site transfers, a separate colocation lease for disaster recovery, and a recent move to Microsoft 365 that lacked backup. To address these issues they selected Acronis and its cyber protection offerings.

Acronis deployed Acronis Cyber Backup and Acronis Cyber Disaster Recovery, consolidating backups into a single pane-of-glass with built‑in AI anti‑ransomware. The solution now protects 194 workstations, 44 servers, 314 Microsoft 365 mailboxes and 193 TB of data, enabled the Stars to cancel their colocation lease (saving costs), and completed migration in about a month—delivering operational efficiencies and stronger cyber protection from Acronis.
