Acronis adds
Acronis Notary
with blockchain
and Acronis CloudRAID
to software defined
storage
Acronis has announced the release of
Acronis Storage, a software defined
storage product with blockchain based
data authentication and universal file,
block and object support.
In an increasingly digital world,
the pressure is on service providers,
who find themselves responsible for
the integrity, safety and authenticity of
customers’ data stored on their servers.
Acronis Storage addresses these issues
by providing a fast, safe, software
defined storage solution with Acronis
CloudRAID and Acronis Notary.
Acronis Storage also provides a
universal solution for both hot and
cold data storage needs and currently
supports block and object data and will
support files in the next update.
Efficiency is also a key feature giving
service providers the ability to control the
TCO of their storage infrastructure and
increase storage capacity from GB to
PB without hurting the budget.
Acronis Storage is suitable for
all service providers, business and
organisations who have the need to
manage their data storage capacity
without any downtime. With an
installation time of five minutes and 14
clicks to configure, it can be installed
and managed even by those without
any system administration experience.
