What are some options for data recovery?

There are multiple ways to recover your clients’ business-critical data, including hard drive recovery, rapid recovery, tape recovery, and digital recovery. Acronis offers multiple ways to recover data and with Acronis Universal Restore, you can restore your clients’ Windows or Linux systems to similar or dissimilar hardware including bare-metal, physical, virtual, or cloud environments.

What does data recovery software do?

Data recovery software helps you recover users’ data after system errors, accidental deletion, formatting issues, cyberattacks, natural disasters, and more.

What is failover in disaster recovery?

Disaster recovery failover is the ability to seamlessly switch to an offsite environment should there be an issue with the primary workload source. This quick data failover helps you get clients with high-availability needs back up and running in minutes.

Can you easily test failover scenarios in the Acronis Cyber Disaster Recovery Cloud?

With Acronis, you can easily execute either a live failover in the Acronis Cloud, or you can easily perform a non-disruptive test in an isolated testing environment, with no impact on your clients’ network – all it takes is a few simple clicks.

Acronis Cyber Frame

Name: Cyber Protect Cloud
Rating: 4.7 (599 reviews)

A secure hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) solution for service providers.

A business engine to deliver IaaS with natively integrated protection, management and automation

Acronis Cyber Frame is not just “another virtualization product.” It is a secure, AI-powered hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) solution that enables SPs to deliver infrastructure services (VMs, block and object storage, networking) with integrated backup, DR, security and RMM. Built on OpenStack and natively integrated into Acronis platform, Cyber Frame supports multitenancy, white-label delivery and both SP-hosted and Acronis-hosted deployment options.

Key business cases

Replace VMware

Modernize aging VMware vSphere clusters and reduce licensing exposure following Broadcom-driven pricing changes. Cyber Frame enables migration into a partner-hosted shared cloud infrastructure via Cyber Frame Local or Acronis-hosted Cyber Frame Cloud. Built-in backup, DR, security and RMM eliminate the need for separate third-party tools, simplifying operations and improving economics. In a typical 100-VM deployment, partners can achieve around 63% gross margin and 167% three-year ROI compared to VMware stacks.

What’s included:

VMware migration • Backup- and DR-based migration • Built-in backup, DR, security and RMM • Subscription per physical core • No proprietary hypervisor lock-in

Build your cloud

Launch your own IaaS platform and securely host multiple customers on shared infrastructure. Cyber Frame provides native multitenancy, logical tenant isolation and self-service provisioning through a single management console. Designed specifically for service providers, it enables delivery of AWS-like infrastructure services under your own brand with higher margins and full operational control. Capture part of the $170B global IaaS market growing at ~22% year over year.

What’s included:

Native multitenancy • Virtual data centers per tenant • Self-service provisioning • Hot and cold storage tiers • White-label delivery • Centralized management

Resell IaaS profitably

Offer cloud infrastructure services without investing in hardware or running a data center. With Acronis-hosted Cyber Frame Cloud, partners can provision virtual machines, networking and storage on a pay-as-you-go basis across regional data centers. Typical VM resell with Cyber Frame Cloud enables approximately 40% gross margin, significantly higher than standard hyperscaler reseller programs.

What’s included:

Acronis-hosted infrastructure • Hourly or monthly billing • Built-in backup, DR, security and RMM • Integrated billing workflows • No hardware deployment required

Repatriate from hyperscalers

Help customers regain cost predictability and local control as 83% of enterprises repatriate at least some public cloud workloads. Cyber Frame enables migration from hyperscalers into Acronis-hosted infrastructure or a partner-operated shared cloud. Transparent pricing with no hidden API or internal transfer fees simplifies packaging and forecasting, while integrated protection ensures every workload is secured from day one.

What’s included:

Cloud-to-cloud migration support • Predictable resource pricing • No hidden egress traps • Integrated cyber protection • Regional deployment options

Offer sovereign IaaS

Address growing demand for sovereign cloud across the EU, Canada and LATAM, where data residency and compliance requirements continue to expand. Cyber Frame enables service providers to deploy infrastructure in their own data centers or leverage regional Acronis facilities, reducing dependence on non-local hyperscalers. Sovereign cloud demand is growing at approximately 36% CAGR, creating opportunity for regionally governed IaaS services.

What’s included:

Local infrastructure deployment • Regional Acronis data centers • Data residency control • OpenStack and KVM foundation • Multitenant isolation • Compliance-aligned architecture
