Achieve Optimum Flexibility in Data Protection

Mitigate risks backing up and migrating your vSphere hosts and virtual machines between different platforms, including the cloud, making it easy to evolve your IT infrastructure and business.

Store your backups in up to five different locations — both locally and in the cloud — and combine a variety of storage types (local disks, attached storage, tape, network storage, centralized deduplicated disk storage, and cloud locations) to minimize your costs and provide multiple recovery options in the case of disaster.

Satisfy regulatory requirements and disaster recovery needs by storing backups on local or central tape devices with support for media management, tape rotation, and retention rules.

Ensure recovery of your vSphere VMs and control the location of your backed-up data by choosing one of 12 secure and reliable Acronis Cloud Data Centers.

Reduce the impact that your backup process has on your infrastructure by offloading VMware VM snapshots to NetApp SAN storage.

RTOS

Realize RTOs of 15 Seconds or Less

Reduce RTOs by restoring folders, files, databases, documents, mailboxes, and individual emails directly from your VM backup — no third-party tools or extra steps required.

Achieve RTOs of 15 seconds or less by starting your backup as a vSphere VM directly from backup storage; no data movement required.

Speed up the recovery of vSphere VMs by restoring only the data blocks necessary to revert the VM to the original state.

Avoid having to reconfigure your hypervisor systems during a recovery by backing up your ESX(i) host so you can restore the entire host (not just VMs) to the same or dissimilar hardware.

Reduce RTOs of remote vSphere VMs by accessing bootable media and restoring bare-metal servers remotely via wide-area networks (WAN).

Reduce the RTOs of your vSphere VMs by customizing the bootable media with scripting to automate and orchestrate recovery.

Reduce the RTOs of your VMware VMs by maintaining copies on a secondary site, allowing for quick failover and failback operations. You can also improve network performance with built-in WAN optimization.

Ensure the success of your vSphere VM recovery by validating backup content with checksum, validating recoverability by automatically running the backup as a VM, and performing service availability checks with pre-defined and custom scripts.

RTOS

Improve Your TCO and Scale Protection

Reduce your workload with a touch-friendly, web-based management console that is accessible from any device, including tablets.

Significantly reduce backup time, network usage, and storage requirements with seamless integration with VMware Changed-Block Tracking (CBT).

RTOS

Enjoy the World’s Most Innovative Data Protection

Protect your users from ransomware attacks with technology that actively detects, blocks, and reverses suspicious changes to data, including backup files and backup agents.

Ensure the authenticity and integrity of backups by storing backup file checksum certificates in the blockchain database and detect unauthorized changes to your backups before you recover.

Verify the authenticity of your files by digitally capturing electronic signatures on a backed-up document and generating unique certificates that contain images of the signatures, timestamps, and other information.
