Software-Defined Infrastructure 2.5
Just Released
Now there’s a universal, cost-efficient, easy-to-use, and scalable software-defined infrastructure solution that uses industry-standard hardware and combines compute, software-defined network, block, file, and object storage workloads: Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure.
Universal
Cover all use-cases and scenarios with one solution. Acronis unites software-defined compute, network and storage in a single, scalable product. Acronis’ solution has been optimized to work with Acronis Data Cloud’s suite of products.
Safe
Solve data integrity issues and know your data is secure with Acronis CloudRAID built-in. Acronis also encrypts data at rest using AES-256-bit encryption and incorporates Acronis Notary with blockchain to ensure data authenticity.
Fast and Scalable
Experience up to five times faster storage than the Ceph and other SDS products – Acronis’ solution scales from terabytes to tens of petabytes. You can count on fast performance with integrated SSD caching, automatic load balancing, and parallel replication.
Efficient
Save time with money with a solution that has smart automation, rapid GUI management and support for industry-standard hardware. Optimized to work with other Acronis products, you can be sure the compute workload will not affect storage operations.
Cost-efficient
Enjoy increased flexibility because Acronis separates the software from the hardware and offers flexible licensing, including a pay-as-you-go model. Easy to manage and maintain, working with Acronis minimizes IT's workload.
Proven
Work with a trusted solution. Acronis' storage technology has been in production at Acronis data centers worldwide for more than seven years, storing more than 200+ PB of data that’s been backed up from more than 125,000 servers, PCs and mobile devices.
Enjoy easy-to-configure, high availability for compute services and virtual machines. Run virtual machines on Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure nodes in the hyper-converged mode or the traditional way. Establish private software-defined networking for VMs and define their storage policies.
Experience up to 25 percent better I/O latency and lower CPU utilization with RDMA and InfiniBand support. Users can eliminate extra latency and use fast multi-threaded I/O handling in the Linux kernel via new fast-path approach. Fiber Channel support also delivers quicker block-storage access.
Manage storage with greater ease using built-in monitoring tools. Now pre-integrated Prometheus engine and pre-configured Grafana dashboards show the status of nodes, disks, network, latency, performance, storage services, etc. so administrators can ensure that systems are up and running smoothly since they can troubleshoot problems before they impact end-users or third-party systems.
Now you can get a test environment that is easy to configure and manage, and that will not affect your storage system performance. Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure runs virtual machines and provides full software-defined network support
Archive Storage
Keep Acronis Backup Cloud and Acronis Backup 12.5 backup data secure anywhere – on-premises and in public clouds such as Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, or on Network Attached Storage (NAS). You can also replicate data to another data center.
File Storage
Experience exceptional performance for even partial file updates. Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure is optimized to support Network File Systems (NFS) and you can use Kerberos and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to control permissions.
Object Storage
Build your own AWS S3-compatible cloud storage for applications and cloud services with unlimited scalability to billions of objects. Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure provides the best storage for Acronis Files Cloud.
High-performance Storage
Depend on fast block storage for high-performance tasks. Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure is highly efficient and allows you to run Virtual Machines (VMs) or databases with highly available iSCSI Interface targets.
Solve any data-rebuild problems and get better data protection and performance with managed overhead and load balancing via Acronis CloudRAID.
Improve regulatory compliance and ensure the authenticity of data saved in object storage. Acronis Notary is already built-in to Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure, leveraging the power of blockchain technology.
ESG Lab confirms that Acronis' agile and efficient software-defined storage is easy-to-use, proven, cost-efficient, and scalable, outperforming the competition by 100 to 300 percent.
Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure components have been in production for more than six years at Acronis' data centers worldwide, storing over 200 PB of customer data. Integration with the Acronis Data Cloud suite of products increases efficiency while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
