Cyber Protection Leader, Acronis, appoints Technology Veteran, Paul Maritz, as Chairman of the Board

on

 

Acronis, a global leader in cyber security and data protection, today announced that Paul Maritz has been appointed as the Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective September 21, 2021. Maritz will be responsible for the governance and leadership of Acronis as it strengthens its position in the service provider market preparing for significant growth in the future.

Earlier this year, Acronis raised $250M at a $2.5B valuation, and announced former GoDaddy’s partners business president, Patrick Pulvermüller, as the new chief executive officer. The strengthened management team will use the momentum to provide Acronis’ partners with the tools that they need to deal with a rapidly changing digital world.

The challenge of providing MSPs with effective tools to manage the environments of their customers is becoming increasingly complex, particularly in a world where security is becoming an overwhelming issue. Security can no-longer be handled by having an SMB end customer put together a plethora of individual tools. Modern threats have exposed the need for an integrated approach and automated cyber protection that solves the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS) challenges of the modern digital world.

Acronis Cyber Protect provides all the management tools of the future that service providers need to do an effective job for their customers to help them grow their business. As well as developing its own technology, Acronis will continue to make acquisitions to become one of the world’s major players of providing the most innovative backup, security, and management tools on the market. Over 12,000 service providers trust Acronis Cyber Protect to manage over 2,000,000 workloads around the world, positioning Acronis for even more company growth in the future.

“Paul brings a wealth of experience developing products to meet market demands and take companies to the next level. His becoming Chairman represents another step forward for Acronis in solidifying its position as a global leader in cyber protection. Paul’s experience with innovations at scale will help us to continue delivering easy, efficient, and secure cyber protection to service providers and their customers of any size,” said Patrick Pulvermüller, Acronis CEO.

“With its strength in backup and security, Acronis is well positioned to build a platform for a comprehensive list of management tools, helping service providers deliver modern cyber protection to their customers today and in the future. Acronis Cyber Protect is a great example of what can be done. Acronis will continue extensive research and development in this direction, helping partners optimize their operations and stay ahead of the competition,” said Paul Maritz, Acronis Chairman of the Board.

Maritz first joined the Acronis Board of Directors in May 2021, bringing 40 years of experience in computer science and software to the cyber protection company.

In his previous executive roles, Paul served on the Executive Staff of Microsoft, was the CEO of VMware, and was CEO and Founder of Pivotal Software. Paul currently is an active investor and serves on the Boards of several start-up technology companies.

Paul graduated with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Universities of Natal and Cape Town. He is active in the non-profit world, served for 10 years on the Board of the Grameen Foundation, which supports financial inclusion and technology in the developing world, and supports conservation efforts in Africa.

Paul Maritz replaces René Bonvanie, whose leadership helped Acronis develop an effective strategy to expand global presence and deliver easy, efficient, and secure cyber protection to customers of any size.

Huawei’s Net Master Revolutionizes Intelligent Network Management, Boosting Carrier B2B Services

Published

BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — During Huawei Tech Carnival & Partner Summit 2024 for the Middle East and Central Asia region, Wang Hui, President of NCE Data Communication Domain of Huawei Data Communication Product Line, delivered a keynote speech at the carrier B2B session. He highlighted how Huawei has consistently innovated and upgraded its network management services through Net Master, a network large model application, thereby injecting new impetus into the growth of carriers’ B2B services.

The digital transformation of various industries is driving innovations in network construction and maintenance. To meet the pressing transformation needs of numerous small and medium-sized enterprises, carriers must provide integrated cloud-network-security solutions for businesses, and transition traditional private lines to a modernized management framework that meets the increasingly diverse demands of enterprises.
Huawei’s iMaster NCE platform empowers carriers to efficiently manage their B2B services so that they can expand their business scope from wide area networks (WANs) to local area networks (LANs) that leverage their existing communication infrastructure. This platform not only boosts sales opportunities for managed services but also provides more precise and efficient solutions for enterprise digital transformations.
At the event, Huawei released its upgraded carrier network management service platform with AI-powered intelligence capabilities: the iMaster NCE network digital map and Net Master. These innovations will drive a comprehensive “3E” revolution: experience assurance, expansion of services, and efficiency improvement.
In terms of experience assurance, Huawei’s network digital map offers multi-dimensional insights into applications and terminals, ensuring seamless audio and video experiences across campuses. Meanwhile, Net Master’s Copilot network expertise provides real-time awareness and optimization of network performance so that users always receive the best possible network services.
As for expansion of services, the proliferation of wireless campus networks has led to a surge in campus network devices, making energy consumption a top concern for customers. Huawei’s network digital map leverages grid-based management to accurately monitor and forecast network-level energy consumption. Additionally, it uses an exclusive tidal traffic prediction algorithm to automatically recommend energy-saving time slots. This enhances campus energy efficiency and reduces energy consumption, as well as enabling carriers to offer customized business packages for enterprises.
Regarding efficiency improvement, Net Master, trained on Huawei Pangu Models, boasts a vast corpus of over 50 billion entries related to data communication and possesses robust semantic understanding capabilities. For instance, the MSP partner AuteWiFi in China saw significant benefits after adopting Net Master: the self-resolution rate of network issues increased from 30% to 80%, average fault resolution time decreased from two hours to just one minute, and O&M efficiency improved by dozens of times.
Going forward, Huawei will continue to innovate and enhance the capabilities of its intelligent network management platform, collaborating with carriers to write a new chapter in intelligent network management services and drive new growth in B2B services.
