Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (ранее Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure) получила крупное обновление
Acronis, занимающаяся созданием решений для защиты, резервного копирования и восстановления данных, сообщила о выпуске новой версии платформы Cyber Infrastructure 3.0.
Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (ранее Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure) представляет собой масштабируемое решение для создания программно-определяемой IT-инфраструктуры на базе стандартного оборудования и поддерживающее различные виды нагрузок для работы с данными. Платформа может использоваться для хранения данных, а также для развёртывания виртуализованных окружений и облачных сред. Поддерживается интеграция с гипервизорами vSphere, Hyper-V и облачными службами Google Cloud, AWS, Azure.
Обновлённый комплекс Cyber Infrastructure 3.0 дополнился функциями создания снимков томов виртуальных машин Linux и Windows, поддержкой Windows Server 2019 и Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 в качестве гостевых ОС, новыми инструментами для администрирования системы, средствами георепликации Acronis Backup Gateway с асинхронной репликацией и аварийным переключением между кластерами, панелью управления для Acronis Cyber Infrastructure Storage Appliance, а также модулем, отвечающим за автоматическое восстановление виртуальных сред в случае сбоя.
Список изменений Acronis Cyber Infrastructure:
Compute Virtualization
- Self-service Panel. A separate, completely customizable interface allows end customers to manage their own compute resources.
- Tenant management. Service providers can now manage the projects and resource quotas of their end customers in the admin panel. Quotas for the following resources are supported:
-
- vCPUs,
- RAM,
- storage for volumes and snapshots (per storage policy),
- floating IP addresses.
- Application-consistent snapshots. Ability to create snapshots of virtual machine volumes compatible with Linux and Windows deployments.
- Virtual routers. Service providers can now configure flexible virtual networking environments. Includes support for virtual routers, Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) and static routing.
- Floating IP addresses. Self-service panel users can now expose their virtual machines on public networks.
- SSH keys. Self-service panel users can now enable secure access to their virtual machines.
- High availability for virtual machines. Automatic workload restoration in case of node failure.
- Initial customization of virtual machines. Initial guest OS customization with cloud-init scripts is now available when creating virtual machines.
- More guest operating systems. Added support for Microsoft Windows Server 2019 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
- Advanced memory management. Improved performance thanks to dynamic balancing of virtual machines between NUMA nodes on the host.
- Virtual machine shelving. End customers using the self-service panel can release vCPU/RAM resources in their projects. Acronis partners can free up reserved vCPUs/RAM on their hosts.
Monitoring
- Grafana dashboards for Acronis Backup Gateway. The new dashboards show service state, availability and performance, as well as network bandwidth, migration/replication backlog, memory and CPU usage. These charts help troubleshoot situations like insufficient space, expired certificates, network disconnects, and lack of free RAM.
Storage
- Acronis Backup Gateway geo-replication. You can now easily configure asynchronous replication and failover between two Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0 clusters.
- Acronis Backup Gateway re-registration. You can now reconnect Acronis Backup 12.5 deployments restored from backup to same Acronis Backup Gateways.
- Persistent reservations for iSCSI. Full functionality is enabled for Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESXi and Linux initiators.
Appliance
- High availability for admin panel. High availability is automatically enabled on the five-node Acronis Cyber Infrastructure Appliance during initial setup.
Installer
- Improved installer. The installation program has been overhauled for a better user experience.
UI and UX
- Improved navigation for the compute service and settings.
Other enhancements
- Better overall stability and performance.
