Case Study: IT Consultant achieves unified antivirus and backup with Acronis Cyber Protect

IT Consultant Sees Opportunity to Consolidate Antivirus and Backup with ጷ Cyber Protect

IT Consulting Company, run by part‑time consultant John Staite, faced the need to consolidate antivirus, backup, and patch management across seven Windows computers and tablets storing about 4 TB of data. Previously using Norton 360 and a UniFi Dream Machine for URL filtering, the customer evaluated Acronis’ integrated solution—Acronis Cyber Protect—to replace multiple point products with a single tool.

Acronis deployed Acronis Cyber Protect in a beta rollout, providing an AI‑enhanced, single‑console platform that was easy to install, highly customizable, and combined full‑stack anti‑malware with backup and endpoint management. The solution now protects 7 devices and 4 TB of data, enabled fast restores after system crashes, and positions IT Consulting Company to retire Norton 360, simplify operations, and reduce licensing and management overhead.
