CHALLENGE

Uncompromised Server Backup Solutions in the Era of Software Defined Storage

Being an advanced network solutions and services provider, we are in constant search for enhancing customer experience with both software and hardware. Global trends in software defined storage push us to find more cost-effective solutions without an impact on performance and quality.

This time big challenge for us was to come up with an uncompromised server backup solution with reliability, performance, and maintenance simplicity.

SOLUTION

Virtualizing Acronis on XCubeNAS 5004R Hypervisor

Toplogy-URI-System

We enjoy working with Acronis Backup and QSAN Storage and were pleasantly surprised to find Hypervisor in XN5004R capable of simultaneously running Acronis Server and Storage. The solution in short, on XN5004R, using Hypervisor Manager we have virtualized Acronis Storage 2.4 and set NFS Host.

This was a big discovery for us, since now we can significantly reduce the price of professional backup solutions by removing server nodes and even having reliability. Maintenance of this setup is a completely different experience.

RESULT

Uncompromised Backup Solutions with Streamlined Setup and Maintenance

Best TCO for Improved Setup and Maintenance

  • Our customers can receive uncompromised backup solutions in performance, capacity, and reliability at the best TCO.
  • Imagine there is no full server node to set up, as well as switching, reduces total setup time by at least 30%. Further maintenance is also much simplified since both Acronis and QSAN UIs are quite intuitive. If we receive an error from backup there is only one device to check now.

Advanced Usability

  • XN5004R is the only entry model in the QSAN lineup but it is quite capable. We could create Multiple VMs. (Windows | Linux | SDS- Software Defined Storage and so on.) as well as provide file sharing.
  • We have all the benefits of native software provided by QSAN: compression, and deduplication, if the customer needs more security for backup, there is AES-256 and even SED support.

"Hypervisor Manager in XCubeNAS is a powerful yet user-friendly feature, providing us with confidence in solving complex network infrastructure challenges."
