“I’m tremendously excited to be able to extend our partnership with Acronis through their #TeamUp program, and we’re excited to welcome Extranet Systems to BJR. The value which the #TeamUp program provides is incredible, and it’s amazing to be a part of it for three years,” said Brad Jones, Team Owner Brad Jones Racing. “We have been an Acronis customer for seven years and they have provided such excellent support over that time. The peace of mind and security that they provide is top level and is exactly what a data-heavy race team requires.”
Extranet Systems, an experienced managed service provider in Australia, is growing its involvement in sports through the Acronis #TeamUp program and will play a key role in implementing Acronis solutions for BJR, offering ongoing technical support and security expertise tailored to the unique demands of motorsport. With extensive experience in delivering cybersecurity and IT infrastructure solutions, Extranet Systems will ensure that BJR’s data remains protected, resilient, and accessible whenever needed.
“Cybersecurity is a growing challenge for businesses, and motorsport is no exception. We are proud to collaborate with Acronis by joining its #TeamUp program with Brad Jones Racing. As the Acronis #CyberFit Delivery Partner, we will be supporting this initiative with our best-in-class Managed Services and Infrastructure Support,” said Amro Elmasry, Director at Extranet Systems. “This partnership demonstrates our commitment to protecting high-performance organizations in Australia. As a big car fan, I look forward to a mutually beneficial journey.”
The Acronis #TeamUp program continues to expand across major sports teams globally, reinforcing the importance of cyber protection in high-stakes environments. As BJR competes in the Supercars Championship, Acronis and Extranet Systems will work closely to ensure the team’s data remains secure and accessible, enabling them to focus on peak performance and winning races.
