Imagine managing disaster recovery for multiple clients. One needs strict data residency. Another expects near-zero downtime. And another is pushing hard on cost efficiency.

Individually, these are manageable. But when you try to standardize your DR approach across all of them, things get complicated—fast.

Most disaster recovery solutions force a decision: cloud or on-premise.

At first glance, that seems reasonable. But in practice, it creates limitations.

Cloud-only deployments can introduce latency and compliance concerns. On-premise environments offer control, but they’re harder to scale and maintain. And combining multiple tools to cover both? That usually leads to more complexity, not less.

So instead of enabling flexibility, your DR strategy becomes the bottleneck.

And in a landscape where downtime directly impacts business continuity, that’s a problem you can’t afford.

The Solution: Acronis Hybrid Disaster Recovery

This is where Acronis Hybrid Disaster Recovery takes a different approach.

Instead of forcing you into a single model, it allows you to deploy disaster recovery across Acronis Cloud, local infrastructure, or a combination of both—depending on what actually makes sense for each client.

That flexibility isn’t layered on top—it’s built into the solution.

And because it’s integrated into Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, everything is managed through a single interface. No switching between platforms. No stitching together separate systems.

It’s a more practical way to deliver DRaaS—especially when your clients have very different requirements.

What It Offers: Key Components Powering Acronis Hybrid DR

To understand how Acronis delivers this level of flexibility, it helps to look at what’s happening behind the scenes.

This isn’t just a deployment option—it’s a set of coordinated components designed to make recovery faster, simpler, and scalable.

Acronis Cloud & Local Compute Cluster

Acronis lets you run DR in the cloud, locally, or both.

You can use Acronis Cloud for scalability or deploy a local compute cluster for more control. Either way, you get the same capabilities—so you can decide based on compliance, performance, or cost.

RunVM Agent: Preparing Workloads

The RunVM Agent ensures backups are ready for recovery.

It handles backup processes, creates delta files for faster VM startup, and manages retention—so recovery doesn’t start from zero.

RunVM Controller: Fast Recovery Execution

The RunVM Controller brings systems back online.

It attaches backup data to virtual machines, allowing workloads to spin up quickly without waiting for full restores.

HAProxy & Dante: Efficient Networking

HAProxy and Dante simplify network management.

They allow multiple clients to operate without dedicated public IPs—making deployments more scalable and efficient.

VPN Gateway & Appliance: Secure Connections

These components create a secure tunnel between local environments and recovery sites.

They ensure safe and reliable access during failover.

Tunnel Server: Streamlined Setup

The Tunnel Server is used during deployment to enable network access.

Once setup is complete, it’s removed—keeping the environment clean.

Core Collector: Faster Troubleshooting

The Core Collector gathers logs and diagnostics.

This helps resolve issues quickly and keeps operations running smoothly.

Managed in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud

All of these components are managed through a single interface.

So even with a powerful architecture underneath, day-to-day operations stay simple and centralized.

💡 Why Choose Acronis: Flexibility Without Compromise

So what actually sets Acronis apart?
It comes down to one thing—flexibility without added complexity.

True Hybrid Flexibility

Many solutions claim hybrid, but still lean heavily on cloud-first models.

Acronis gives you real control—letting you choose where data lives and how recovery runs, per client or workload.

Better Cost Control

Cloud DR costs can add up quickly.

With Acronis, you can run high-traffic workloads locally—helping you control costs without sacrificing performance.

Stronger SLA Control

By reducing latency and optimizing infrastructure, Acronis gives you better control over RTOs and RPOs.

And for enterprise clients, that level of control is essential.

Disaster recovery today isn’t just about having backups.

It’s about being able to recover the right way, for the right client, at the right time.

And that’s exactly what Acronis Hybrid Disaster Recovery enables.

It gives you the flexibility to adapt, the tools to simplify operations, and the control to meet performance and compliance demands—without adding complexity to your stack.

Because in real-world environments, flexibility isn’t just a feature.

It’s the foundation.
