Acronis Advanced Backup vs. IBM Cloud Block Storage

Acronis Backup Cloud is suited for backing up Windows Servers. Downtime is greatly decreased by using their virtualization options. You will need a Hyper-V enabled computer to virtualize, though, but this can be one of your general-use workstations. A Windows 10 Pro machine with 16 GB of RAM would do it for you. Or, if you have Macs that need to be backed up, you can do that as well. You can grab either full volume images, or files/folders. I can't really think of a scenario that you would not want Acronis Backup Cloud, except pre-Server 2012 OS's, since virtualization isn't supported on those older systems.

Perfect solution for handling Cloud data storage platforms and its data threats management functionalities are excellent and data access control is effective. The processing of any data size through IBM Cloud Block Storage is very quick and cost-effective, because its functions performance on Cloud and the data visualization and report building is easy.

• Single pane of glass for managing customer tenants
• Quick and reliable backup recovery
• Both onsite and offsite backup destinations are supported

• IBM Cloud Block Storage conducts an automated backup efficiently.
• The deployment of the security measures is perfect.
• The sharing of data, more so with the various nodes is effective.

• No option for on premises hardware BDR. This means recovery restorations rely on self-supplied hardware performance.
• License per machine can get costly if large number of computers or servers.

• The documentation must be clearer and updated, thinking about each distribution that they offer in the cloud
• Downtime when IOPS are raised can be less
• The configuration can be more automated from the same control panel and not have to take it so much to the CLI

The cost savings we realized from moving to this software has us hooked - it does everything we need it to do on a very high level (virtualization, for example) and is very low cost for us.

We seldom make use of Acronis support, but when we have they have been brilliant. All our engineers are Acronis certified, if they not able to resolve an issue, we touch base with our local Acronis supplier, Synapsys, who resolve issues 90% of the time.

We went with Acronis Backup Cloud because we're able to backup all platforms, not just PCs. And the price was good when it comes to all those options. It's a hard sell to clients, but when explained properly, the understand the cost of a good solution. It's like having good car insurance.

Unlike the above platforms, IBM Cloud Block Storage enable secure and quick big data migration through its secure environment and the flexibility of its Cloud options is effective. Data analytics through IBM Cloud Block Storage are easily prepared and the data access is very easy and the ability to monitor various Cloud operations is excellent.

• It's been a great investment especially knowing our data is protected.
• We no longer worry about upgrade storage hardware or devices.

• IBM Cloud Block Storage is valuable tool for Cloud data storage planning and effective Cloud storage management.
• Pulling big data across various Construction projects is very easy and secure from data threats.
• Creating analytics and gathering feedback across various Cloud platform and the Automation of Cloud services is excellent.
