Summary Based on patented proven disk imaging and restore technologies found in our enterprise products, Acronis has developed a new edition that focuses specifically on virtual environments. Acronis True Image Virtual Editionallows your IT organization the flexibility to backup and restore five or more virtual machines on a single, physical server - for one price. There is no limit or additional charges for adding new virtual machines to the licensed physical server. Whether your organization is backing up five or 500 virtual servers, as long as they all reside on the same physical server, the cost remains the same! Virtual Edition delivers real disaster recovery price/performance. Today, as virtualization becomes more popular, people are using "backup images" for migration to and from physical1 and virtual servers — or between operating systems. While Acronis True Image Virtual Edition disaster recovery software is used to ensure the availability of data today, maintaining a copy of your digital assets goes beyond simple backup and restore. Uses include staging new servers before they go live, testing the performance impact of adding a new application to a server, and load balancing to easily move the assets between servers. The ability to proactively use the created disk image in ways beyond disaster recovery provides new value to the organization. Acronis True Image Virtual Edition includes Acronis Universal Restore2. Universal Restore will allow you to recover server images to dissimilar virtual hardware regardless of the operating system, or installed components. Universal Restore enables you to take the last known clean image from the source virtual machine and import drivers associated with the new virtual machine into the restore process. And, because the image is captured at the disk sector level, it already includes all your configuration, application and user files. 1 Requires a one-time migration license per physical server. 2 Acronis Universal Restore is a separately licensed application provided with purchase of Virtual Edition.
