Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud for service providers

The StorMagic and Acronis High Availability + Data Protection solution provides service providers with a simple, flexible and reliable high-availability solution along with the world’s best backup and recovery. It is very cost-effective as well, as SvSAN only requires two servers for high availability.

SvSAN provides active-active synchronous mirroring between two servers, ensuring there is always an exact copy of data on each server. If one server fails or is taken offline, the remaining server continues to operate, providing no disruption in service and no downtime. For additional security, data can be encrypted before it is written to disk.

SvSAN utilizes a very lightweight witness that provides quorum for up to 1,000 clusters at a time. The witness can be on-site or remote to the cluster, providing an additional revenue opportunity for service providers.

Together, Acronis and StorMagic provide a class-leading, yet simple and flexible data availability and protection solution that offers service providers and their clients peace of mind at the source and beyond.

Use Cases

Provides a High Availability + Data Protection solution. Data is always available with only two servers combined with a leading cyber protection solution.

Client pain point

An organization’s data can be its most important asset. This data must be available whenever needed to provide value and must be protected and recoverable in the event of a catastrophe. Organizations need solutions for high availability and data protection that aren’t over-complicated and overpriced — they need something that “just works.”

Service provider pain point

Providing high availability often requires costly configurations that are overengineered for most customers’ needs and limit choice and flexibility. SPs need simplicity, flexibility and reliability for their high availability and data protection offerings.

SvSAN provides the high availability clients demand and Cyber Protect Cloud provides the data protection. SPs and their clients can decide which servers, storage and hypervisors to use with SvSAN and not be locked in. Costs are reduced with only two servers needed for high
availability. The addition of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides SPs and their clients with a complete data availability and protection solution.
