Achieve Optimum Flexibility in Data Protection

HYBRID INFRASTRUCTURE 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.

MULTIPLE BACKUP DESTINATIONS
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.

TAPE DRIVERS, AUTOLOADERS, TAPE LIBRARIES
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.

ACRONIS CLOUD STORAGE
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.

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

Realize RTOs of 15 Seconds or Less

EASY GRANULAR RECOVERY
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.

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

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

HOST BARE-METAL RECOVERY
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.

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

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

INTEGRATED VMWARE VSPHERE REPLICATION WITH WAN OPTIMAZATION
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.

ENHANCED VALIDATION IN A SANDBOX ENVIRONMENT
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.

Improve Your TCO and Scale Protection

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

AGENTLESS BACKUP
Protect all the data on your vSphere VMs with complete and reliable agentless backup.

CUSTOMIZABLE DASHBOARDS
Reduce remediation time and resolve issues quickly with customizable dashboards that provide quick insights into your infrastructure.

DUPLICATION
Easily manage the volume of growing data across your company with global deduplication and centralized vaults.

OFF-HOST OPERATIONS
Reduce production machine loads by performing select activities — such as backup staging (moving), replication (copying), validation, and retention (cleanup) — on a different system.

ADVANCED REPORTING
mprove resiliency with regular, customizable reports that focus on the exceptions in your infrastructure.

ROLE-BASED ADMINSTRATIVE ACCESS
Manage, delegate, and establish roles for multiple administrators to protect remote offices, branch offices, and departments.

Streamline Data Protection

DATA-IMAGING BACKUP
Protect your business with complete and reliable backup images of your entire vSphere VM, files, or data. Easily recover a complete image or selected files, folders, items, and applications.

SMART ALERTING
Reduce the time it takes to react and resolve issues with smart, aggregated alerts, eliminating the need to sort and filter multiple notifications about the same issue.

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

Enjoy the World’s Most Innovative Data Protection

ACRONIS ACTIVE 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.

ACRONIS NOTARY
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.

ACRONIS ASIGN
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.
