The future growth for MSPs is not going to be easy, and there is a huge opportunity many MSPs are not leveraging yet. mspnotes.com/the-msp-busines…

“I sleep much better knowing we have a trusted partner that has our back.” For Jason Zachariah, CTO of the @Nationals, moving away from a transactional vendor relationship to a true partnership made a real difference. With Acronis and @M3TechConsult, his team gained a more intuitive solution, fewer disruptions, and dependable support they can rely on. That partnership provides the confidence that critical data is protected and the organization can continue operating without interruption, even when issues arise. 🔗 Read the full case study: bit.ly/4mwxXHx

For Mike Lane, CIO & SVP of Technology & Broadcasting at the @Yankees, the #TeamUp partnership with @DigaCore and Acronis delivers confidence that critical data remains secure and available whenever needed.

Backup Exec is going away, but just replacing backup won’t be enough. Legacy tools were built for recovery. Today’s threats demand more: Built-in ransomware protection, immutable backups and centralized management. Acronis Cyber Platform for Business delivers everything in one place and enables you to simplify operations while strengthening resilience. 👉 See how to make the switch: bit.ly/3R9ueUH

Compliance today is no longer about ticking boxes. It’s about proving your organization can withstand disruption, recover quickly and stay operational when it matters most. As regulations like NIS 2 and DORA evolve, operational resilience is becoming the true benchmark for cybersecurity readiness. From immutable storage and audit logging to disaster recovery and EDR, businesses need integrated cyber protection that goes beyond compliance and delivers real-world resilience. 🔗 Discover why organizations are shifting from reactive compliance to proactive cyber resilience in our latest blog: bit.ly/4duryrU

AI is reshaping compliance fast. For MSPs and IT leaders, compliance is no longer a static, checklist‑based exercise. As AI adoption accelerates, maintaining compliance now requires ongoing visibility, strong governance, and clear alignment between security, data protection, and AI risk. Regional differences make this challenge even more complex. In North America, organizations must navigate fragmented regulatory frameworks, while in Europe they face structured but overlapping regulations. Managing this landscape without slowing innovation is becoming a critical priority. 🔗 Stay ahead of evolving regulations and turn compliance into a competitive advantage: bit.ly/4vlkmH4

The internet was built for people clicking through pages, filling out forms, and deciding in real time. It is no longer the case. The next wave of "users" arriving on the internet are AI agents that act on behalf of humans. Gartner projects that 40% of enterprise applications will embed task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026. Akamai reports AI bot traffic surged over 300% across its network in 2025. And Gartner predicts that by 2028, 90% of B2B buying will be agent-intermediated, pushing over $15 trillion through agents. Yet, most businesses are not ready for this. Their websites are designed for humans. Their checkout processes require form-filling that is hard for agents to navigate. Their data is locked inside visual layouts that look beautiful to people but are hard for agents to consume. For MSPs, this gap between where the internet is going and where most businesses are today is exactly the gap that creates advisory revenue opportunities. mspnotes.com/the-internet-is…

The recent supply chain attack on litellm highlighted the problem - every software vendor and every customer using any software with third-party libraries is exposed to vulnerabilities in the dependencies of those libraries. A poisoned version of a popular Python library with over 90 million monthly downloads could harvest SSH keys, cloud credentials, database passwords, and every API key stored on the affected machine. The attack was caught by accident — a bug in the malicious code crashed a developer's machine, triggering an investigation. Without that bug, it could have run undetected for weeks. For MSPs specifically, the question is not just "how does this work." The question is: what do you do about it for your customers, starting right now? mspnotes.com/what-the-litell…

Most MSP owners track revenue, cost, and margin and clearly understand how discounts and variable costs affect their margins, yet quite a few don't appreciate how much improvement in the productivity of their tech team and ability to serve more customers influence their margins. Today, with the widespread of AI tools to automate MSP productivity, and availability of natively integrated platform for MSPs, significant increase of productivity is possible, and the margin impact for MSPs is substantial. The math behind MSP profitability is surprisingly simple. And it reveals something most business owners overlook: a modest improvement in productivity can produce an outsized improvement in profit margins. mspnotes.com/doubling-msp-pr…

Announcing a new Claude Code feature: Remote Control. It's rolling out now to Max users in research preview. Try it with /remote-control Start local sessions from the terminal, then continue them from your phone. Take a walk, see the sun, walk your dog without losing your flow.

It is amazing how a simple little software tool can change the quality of life... I switched from the built-in terminal to Ghostty, and it is just amazing how all the little tiny pains went away. Last time I was so excited when I installed OhMyZsh years ago... Tiny little things saving a few minutes here and there add up to saving productive hours every month.

Someone has to prompt the Claudes, talk to customers, coordinate with other teams, decide what to build next. Engineering is changing and great engineers are more important than ever.

A single most useful prompt for Claude Code after it has just wrote some code (consider developing a skill based on that): Review the code you just wrote. Analyze it against the following checklist and produce a prioritized improvement plan: ## Correctness & Consistency - Logic errors, edge cases, off-by-one errors - Inconsistent naming conventions, patterns, or abstraction levels across the codebase - Type mismatches or implicit assumptions between components ## Code Quality - DRY violations — identify every instance of duplicated logic and propose specific abstractions - Dead code, unused imports, unreachable branches - Functions doing too much (SRP violations) — flag any function over ~30 lines ## Performance & Resource Management - Memory leaks: unclosed connections, missing cleanup, unremoved event listeners, circular references - N 1 queries, unnecessary re-renders, unbounded data structures - Missing timeouts, rate limits, or backpressure on I/O operations - Blocking calls in async contexts ## Overengineering - Premature abstractions — code that adds indirection without a second use case - Unnecessary design patterns, wrapper classes, or config-driven logic that could be a simple function - Layers that just pass through without transforming ## Error Handling & Resilience - Silent failures, swallowed exceptions, missing error propagation - Missing input validation at trust boundaries - No retry/fallback logic where external calls can fail ## Output format For each issue found, provide: - File:line — exact location - Severity — critical / major / minor - Issue — one-sentence description - Fix — concrete code change or refactor (not just "consider improving") Sort by severity descending. Group related issues that should be refactored together. If the code is clean in a category, skip it — don't pad the review.

Winter SHIELD is not about perfection. It’s about raising the baseline across organizations by making sure fundamentals are actually in place — consistently and defensibly. That makes it especially relevant for MSPs and SMBs, where limited staff and tool sprawl often make “doing the basics well” harder than it should be. acronis.com/en/tru/posts/clo…

The solution helps partners offer predictable, compliant, and easy-to-manage archival storage without the complexity of multiple vendors or unpredictable costs. “In the era of AI, data is the most valuable asset. Customers want to store more data and keep it longer.” — Gaidar Magdanurov, President of Acronis 🔗 Read the full article here: bit.ly/4ti73Ge

This is an example how using AI tor development can quickly lead to security issues. An AI agent reviewing other AI agents code will solve most of the problems, but incorrect architecture will bite painfully strongly...
