What is Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (legacy)?
Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is a legacy software-defined storage (SDS) and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution. Originally designed to serve as a trusted, multi-tenant foundation for cyber protection, the platform enabled service providers and enterprises to utilize industry-standard hardware to store backup data, manage block/file/object storage, and run disaster recovery workloads in deeply integrated Acronis environments.
Product Evolution & Rebranding
As of May 2026 Acronis evolved and rebranded this solution as Acronis Cyber Frame. While Cyber Frame is built upon the same foundational virtualization and storage engine as Cyber Infrastructure, it represents a major shift from a specialized storage/backup backend to a comprehensive Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform.
What is updated in Acronis Cyber Frame?
Buyers evaluating this platform should investigate Acronis Cyber Frame. The updated Cyber Frame platform introduces several major enhancements over the legacy Cyber Infrastructure product, including:
- "Protected by Default" Workloads: Cyber Frame natively integrates Acronis’s security suite—including Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), backup, and disaster recovery—directly into the hypervisor layer. Every virtual machine spun up is automatically secured without requiring third-party tools.
- Expanded Deployment Models: The platform is now split into two distinct delivery methods: Cyber Frame Cloud (fully hosted by Acronis) and Cyber Frame Local (self-hosted by the provider to build "sovereign clouds" and meet strict local compliance requirements).
- Full-Scale IaaS Capabilities: Moving beyond basic HCI, Cyber Frame includes AI-powered automation and expanded multi-tenancy controls designed specifically to help Managed Service Providers (MSPs) offer high-margin cloud computing and virtualization alternatives to traditional hyperscalers (like AWS/Azure) or legacy virtualization vendors (like VMware).
