Based on Acronis’ patented disk imaging and bare metal restore technologies,
Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition is the next
generation of the Acronis True Image family of products, engineered specifically for
virtualized environments.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual
Edition enables organizations of all sizes to extend the cost-saving benefits of
virtualization by protecting virtual machines running on a single physical host for
a low, fixed price. Supporting virtual platforms including VMware®, Microsoft®
Hyper-V®, Citrix® XenServer™, and Parallels®, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced
Server Virtual Edition takes advantage of VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V server
technologies.

Optimized backup and recovery across all major virtual machine platforms
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition allows IT administrators
to back up and recover an unlimited number of virtual machines per single host server.
Files, volumes, virtual disks and entire virtual machines can be fully recovered in minutes,
instead of hours or days. It allows agent-less, VCB or agent-based backup and recovery.
VMware ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V-based servers can be backed up without installing
individual agents on every virtual machine. In addition, with the Acronis® Backup &
Recovery™ 10 Universal Restore™ feature, included as part of Acronis Backup & Recovery
10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition, IT administrators can automate the recovery process
to and from physical to virtual servers. They can quickly recover a server to a dissimilar
hardware host or virtual machine, maximizing recovery flexibility and minimizing business
disruption. They can protect virtual data with one application and achieve flexibility
by moving systems between physical and virtual environments with ease. Unlimited
migration licenses are included for moving from physical to virtual machines.

Centralized management of virtual and physical servers
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 enables policy-based management of all backup and
restore operations for virtual and physical servers from a single console anywhere on the
network. It improves administration productivity across virtual and physical platforms
from a single management location. In addition, a centralized dashboard provides an
overview of the configured and running operations on all systems, enhancing control and
decision making.

Storage and network savings through data deduplication
Eliminating backup copies of the same data from multiple servers results in substantial
storage and network bandwidth cost savings. The Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 10
Deduplication option provides affordable file- or block-level software deduplication
functionality, helping organizations of all sizes to make better use of their storage
infrastructure and save costs.
