Hammer Distribution has formed a strategic partnership with Acronis to expand the cybersecurity, AI and MSP operations capabilities available to its UK channel partners. The agreement brings Acronis’s integrated cyber protection platform into Hammer’s portfolio, giving resellers and MSPs access to a single stack covering security, infrastructure, GenAI services and automated operations.
The move targets MSPs looking to strengthen protection and streamline service delivery while managing cost and complexity. Hammer said partners will gain access to enterprise-grade cybersecurity tools including EDR, MDR, XDR, email security, posture management, security awareness training and DLP, alongside next-generation infrastructure such as Cyber Frame. The portfolio also includes AI-native services and automation tools for RMM, PSA and workflow management.
Hammer will support partners with onboarding, technical training and pipeline development through its enablement programme.
Dominic Ryles, Director of Cyber and Cloud at Hammer Distribution, said the partnership gives MSPs “a real competitive advantage” by combining Hammer’s channel expertise with Acronis’s innovation in GenAI and XDR.
Jo Holliday, General Manager at Acronis, said Hammer provides a strong route to market for integrated cyber protection and automation, helping MSPs “protect, manage and automate client environments more effectively while building scalable, profitable managed services.”
