Auvik and Acronis are partnering to bring network monitoring and management directly into Acronis RMM, expanding the platform’s capabilities as MSPs look to consolidate more of their IT management stack.
Under the OEM partnership announced Sept. 30, Auvik’s network management capabilities will be natively integrated into Acronis RMM, the remote monitoring and management offering within Acronis Cyber Protect.
The companies said the combined offering will enable MSPs and corporate IT teams to manage network infrastructure, endpoints, and servers through a single platform.
The integrated offering is expected to become available to Acronis customers in January 2027.
Auvik, Acronis target MSP tool consolidation
The partnership is aimed at a persistent challenge for MSPs: managing an expanding collection of tools while improving technician efficiency and service margins.
By incorporating Auvik’s network monitoring capabilities into Acronis RMM, customers can monitor and manage network infrastructure without switching between separate products or maintaining multiple vendor relationships.
For MSPs that do not currently provide network monitoring, the companies are also positioning the integration as a way to add the service without deploying another standalone platform.
“Tool sprawl is one of the most persistent pain points we hear about across IT operations. Every additional product adds complexity and takes technicians away from higher-value work,” said Mark Ralls, president of Auvik.
Ralls said combining network and endpoint management could help MSPs operate more efficiently while creating a stronger foundation for scaling their services.

Network visibility expands Acronis RMM
For Acronis partners, the integration could also expand the RMM platform’s role beyond traditional endpoint and server management by giving technicians greater visibility into customers’ network environments.
“Profitable growth for MSPs depends on how effectively they use their technicians’ time and the value they deliver to each customer,” said Rick Hebly, senior director of platform marketing and education at Acronis.
Hebly said greater network visibility could help partners resolve issues faster, reduce the risk of service disruptions, and protect service margins. Acronis also sees the integration creating additional capacity for MSP growth and opportunities for partners to expand their managed service offerings.
The deal gives Auvik another route into the MSP market through Acronis’ existing ecosystem. Acronis says its Cyber Platform is used by more than 21,000 service providers protecting more than 750,000 businesses, while Auvik says its technology manages one million network devices across more than 100,000 networks.
