Acronis® Backup & Recovery® 10 simplifies and automates backup and
disaster recovery processes of workstations and servers in Windows and
Linux environments, across physical and virtual platforms. Based on patented
disk imaging and bare metal restore technologies, these products are the
next generation of Acronis® True Image. They provide medium-sized to large
organisations a simple, cost-effective solution to centrally manage all backup
and restore activities across the network.
Fast restore of OS and data to meet Recovery Time Objectives
The contents of an entire hard drive, including the operating system,
applications and data, can be fully recovered in minutes, instead of hours
or days. Or recover instantly with the new Acronis Instant Recovery feature.
Both deliver a fast, reliable way for organizations to meet strict Recovery Time
Objectives (RTO). An Acronis Universal Restore option quickly restores backup
images to dissimilar hardware, eliminating the need for identical standby
hardware in the event of a failure.
Centralised management of local and remote systems
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 enables policy-based management of all backup
and restore operations from a single console anywhere on the network. In
addition, a centralised dashboard provides an overview of the configured and
running operations on all systems, enhancing control and decision making.
Enhanced support for virtual environments
Acronis® Backup & Recovery® 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition is a
virtualisation-centric solution to backup and recover VMware, Microsoft
Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer and Parallels environments. It allows agent-less,
VCB or agent-based backup and recovery of files, volumes, virtual disks and
entire virtual machines, all from the centralised management console. And,
it is integrated with VMware® vCenter™ and VMware vSphere™, and is now
certified Citrix Ready.
Storage and network savings through data deduplication
Eliminating backup copies of the same data from multiple computers results in
substantial storage and network bandwidth cost savings. The Acronis® Backup
& Recovery® 10 Deduplication option provides affordable file and block level
software deduplication capability for both workstations and servers, helping
organisations of all sizes to maximise use of their storage infrastructure and
save expenses.
