Acronis releases a major update for its hyperconverged solution for cyber protection at the edge – Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0

Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, recently announced the availability of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0, a major update to its universal software-defined infrastructure solution that uses industry-standard hardware and combines compute, software-defined network, block, file, and object storage workloads.

With this release, Acronis enables partners and customers by improving the performance and stability of their infrastructure, lowering their operating costs via flexible licensing, and adding support for different use cases such as virtual private cloud, hybrid cloud, managed private cloud, and hybrid storage solution.

With Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0, customers can benefit from application-consistent snapshots of Linux and Windows virtual machine volumes and flexible virtual networking with support for virtual routers, source network address translation (SNAT), static routes, and floating IP addresses. Service providers can now manage edge customers easily with multi-tenant support and self-service abilities that help end customers control and track their resources. Service providers can also brand their solutions and integrate them seamlessly with their billing and CRM software – an OpenStack-compatible API makes it simple. One of the most popular components – Acronis Backup Gateway just got many improvements, including an intuitive interface for geo-replication, plus asynchronous replication that allows customers to build optimal backup destinations for local storage, private and public storage needs.

“This update is an exciting step for Acronis toward providing a complete stack of cyber protection solutions to our customers. Together with the recently announced Acronis Cyber Platform, Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is a solid foundation for Acronis’ cyber protection services,” said Serguei Beloussov, Founder and CEO of Acronis. “It is fundamental to our vision of delivering complete end-to-end cyber protection. Acronis simplifies data protection processes for customers so they can focus on their core business.”

Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0 reinforces Acronis’ ability to deliver complete cyber protection to customers and partners, addressing all five vectors of cyber protection – safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS). This comprehensive approach helps businesses overcome the wide variety of challenges that face modern IT teams, including increasing complexity, security concerns, and costs. Through this new update, Acronis expands the easy, efficient, and secure protection they provide to all customers’ data, applications, and systems.
