Schaffhausen, SWITZERLAND - June 7, 2021 -
Acronis, the global leader in cyber
protection, today announced the release of Acronis
Cloud Manager 5.1 for Azure and Hyper-V. The new version
enhances the management and replication of Azure VMs through the
Web Management Console, enabling easier access to VM lifecycle
management and administration capabilities.
The latest enhancements provide effortless scalability for
distributed or large environments - a critical consideration given
today's remote workforce - while supporting operations with Hyper-V
VMs, virtual switches, and datastores. The new release also makes
security and UI improvements to the Web Console, making it more
effective in mitigating and reducing cyber risks.
"Acronis' ultimate goal is to deliver easy-to-use and complete
cyber protection for any workload available on the market,"
explained Yury Averkiev, Acronis Vice President of Product
Management. "This release is yet another step forward in this
direction, where we continue to improve our support for Microsoft
Azure."
Using Acronis Cloud Manager's Web Console to manage Azure VMs
enables users to centrally create, provision, configure, manage, or
delete Microsoft Azure VMs across their environment. The enhanced
Web Console also ensures users can easily replicate or migrate
Azure VMs and manage operations with Microsoft Azure
subscriptions.
Additional enhancements in Version 5.1 include:
- Improvements to the Web portal's GUI
- Improved security of the Web portal initialization script
- Added SQL server account password validity check during the Web portal setup
- Added https support and certificate selection for Web portal
- Setting static MAC addresses
- Expanding compacting VHD operations to ensure they work properly
- Converting VHD on Windows Server 2012 R2
"As a result of the Acronis Cloud Manager deployment, the main
problems of the Windows administration team have been resolved.
Administrators got a single tool for managing virtual
infrastructure with a role-based model, monitoring, and backup of
virtual machines," said Vladislav Almazov, Director of Information
Technology Support at Lamoda (part of Global Fashion Group).
"Acronis Cloud Manager is the most affordable solution with the
functionality we need. During the operation of the product, we get
tech support from the Acronis partner engineers, which helps to
solve emerging problems. We provide our suggestions for improving
the product, and they are considered in the development of the next
versions."
