The Acronis Cyber Appliance is the optimal choice for secure storage for backups. It is an easy-to-use data center for block, file, and object storage. It comes with Acronis Cyber Infrastructure pre-deployed on a cluster of five servers contained in a single 3U chassis.
Acronis Cyber Appliance is a versatile solution, and can be used in multiple ways. Some of the main use cases are shown below.
Cost-efficient, multi-purpose, scale-out storage solution
Acronis Cyber Appliance is offered in your choice of 6 different models, each with a different amount of usable storage capacity (as measured using 3+2 erasure coding across all five nodes). Acronis Cyber Appliance models offered are:
Raw Storage | 60TB | 120TB | 150TB | 180TB | 210TB | 240TB |
Usable storage | 31TB | 62TB | 78TB | 93TB | 108TB | 124TB |
Every Acronis Cyber Appliance comes with five server nodes installed in the chassis. Each of the five nodes are separate hardware that run independent of the other nodes. Individual nodes can be swapped out and replaced if needed. Each server node in Acronis Cyber Appliance has its own storage, network, memory, and CPU, as follows.
CPU | 1 x 2.00GHz 16-core Intel processor |
RAM | 32GB |
Network ports | 2 x 10GbE RJ45; 2 x 10GbE SFP+ |
Storage | 1 x SSD for OS; 1 x SSD for use as cache; 3 x HDD for data storage |
While the Acronis Cyber Appliance ships as a single rack-mountable appliance, it houses five independent servers. Each server has its own hot-swapable storage, memory, and CPU. The chassis also has two independent power supplies.
It's fast and easy, but probably a two-person job - each appliance weighs 35kg (77.2 pounds). Acronis Cyber Appliance is shipped to you with all components already installed. You'll need to install the rail kit in your data center rack and put the appliance on the rails. After that, simply connect the network and power cables and your hardware installation is complete.
The Acronis Cyber Appliance is 13cm tall, 43.5cm wide, and 60cm deep (5.12in tall, 17.12un wide, and 23.62in deep). A single Acronis Cyber Appliance takes up 3 Rack Units (3U) of space.
Acronis Cyber Infrastructure runs our own software-defined infrastructure solution, Acronis Cyber Infrastructure.
Expansion is simple. Install another Acronis Cyber Appliance in your data center, and use the original appliance's GUI to easily add the new appliance to your cluster. This will increase your storage capacity, performance, and high-availability.
