Acronis has announced the availability of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0, a major update to its universal software-defined infrastructure solution.

The solution uses industry-standard hardware and combines compute, software-defined network, block, file, and object storage workloads.

With this release, Acronis enables partners and customers to improve the performance and stability of their infrastructure, lower their operating costs with flexible licensing, and adds support for different use cases such as virtual private cloud, hybrid cloud, managed private cloud, and hybrid storage solution.

With Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0, customers can benefit of application-consistent snapshots of Linux and Windows’ virtual machine volumes and flexible virtual networking with support for virtual routers, Source Network Address Translation (SNAT), static routes, and floating IP addresses.
