Typical Usage Scenarios on a Single Cluster
Acronis Storage architecture allows it to support all typical workloads. Use it as a back-end storage for Acronis Files Cloud, Acronis Backup Cloud, Open-Xchange, vSphere, Hyper V, Microsoft Exchange or as shared storage for general needs like documents, graphics, video files. Different workloads can be applied to the same storage.
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
Acronis Storage is optimized to deliver exceptional performance even for partial file updates. It provides support for Network File Systems (NFS). You can use Kerberos and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to control permissions.
Object Storage
Lets you build your own AWS S3-compatible cloud storage for applications and cloud services with unlimited scalability to billions of objects. Acronis Storage provides the best storage for Acronis Files Cloud.
High-performance Storage
Acronis Storage is highly efficient and provides fast block storage for high-performance tasks. Run Virtual Machines (VMs) or databases directly from Acronis Storage with highly available iSCSI Interface targets.
