Cyber Frame licensing

Cyber Frame is a private cloud service that provides compute and storage resources for virtual machine workloads. It replaces the previous Virtuozzo Infrastructure (VI) and Virtuozzo Cloud integrations with Cyber Protect Cloud.

VM licensing

Virtual machines that run on a Cyber Frame cluster are automatically classified as Cyber Frame VMs by the platform, regardless of the infrastructure type (Cyber Frame Cloud or Cyber Frame Local). This means:

• Cyber Frame VMs are tracked in a dedicated usage bucket, separate from other workloads.
• Standard Protection, Advanced Backup, Direct Backup to Public Cloud, RMM, and Detection and Response (EDR/XDR) are included in the Cyber Frame license at no additional charge.
• Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is available as a paid add-on for all licensing models.
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and GenAI Protection are available as paid add-ons on service-based licensing only. They are not available for Cyber Frame VMs on solution-based licensing.
• Backup to infrastructure hosted in data centers is billed at the standard rate. Backup to partner-hosted or customer-owned storage locations is not subject to additional charges.

Migrating from Virtuozzo Infrastructure or Cyber Infrastructure

If you previously used Virtuozzo Infrastructure or Cyber Infrastructure and had virtual machines protected through a manually deployed virtual appliance, those VMs are automatically reclassified as Cyber Frame VMs after the cluster is registered. From that point, they are covered by the Cyber Frame license and are no longer billed as standard backup workloads.

Windows Server licensing

To minimize the Windows Server licensing footprint, Cyber Protect Cloud consolidates Windows Server VMs on the minimum number of physical nodes in the cluster. This is the same approach that is used for Disaster Recovery virtual machines.
