Integrated cybersecurity and backup have improved ransomware resilience and simplified recovery
In my opinion, it would be better if Acronis expanded their integration with multiple products. Right now, backup and mail backup are only limited to M365 and Google. Most of the customers in my country use hosted servers or cPanel, IceWarp, and other small office and home office email solutions. If they can expand that integration, it would be helpful. Making it even better would be if they have an industrial-level backup solution with multiple integrations and multiple backup capabilities that their competitor has. This would allow us to focus on one singular license for backup and confidently position it to an enterprise-level environment, such as a data center-level environment.

Modern infrastructure has supported critical business services and delivers strong data protection
To be honest, I did not make any changes in Nimble, and the same applies to StoreOnce. The system is built and ready-made. It was already built before we received it, but overall, everything is clear and direct, and there is nothing complex, so I do not need to do a deep dive in the system to resolve or change anything. I do not use HPE Nimble Storage HPE Alletra dHCI intelligent automation. I do not use intelligent data services in managing my data infrastructure. I have not actually used additional functionality for Nimble Storage HPE Alletra dHCI right now, but I think this feature is very useful, especially AI. AI is involved in any software now, and I do not use it in my system, but I think it's very useful.
