Acronis True Image Echo Server Key Features - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE ECHO - FOR LINUX User Manual

Leverages Existing Technology Investments
The product can leverage your current storage infrastructure by supporting a wide variety
of storage media, so you can avoid costly hardware purchases to implement the solution.
The product supports key storage technologies such as: Direct Attached Storage (DAS),
Network Attached Storage (NAS), Storage Area Networks (SAN), Redundant Arrays of
Independent Disks (RAID) devices, tapes, USB and IEEE-1394 (FireWire) compliant
storage devices, CDs, removable drives (Floppy, Zip, etc.) and shared storage. Moreover,
the product ensures that you maximize the space on these resources with four levels of
compression.
Disk cloning and new disk deployment
Acronis True Image Echo Server can be used to clone an image onto multiple servers. For
example, a company purchased several servers and needs similar environments on each
of them. Traditionally, an IT manager should install the operating system and programs
on every server. With Acronis True Image Echo Server, the IT manager can create a disk
image of the first system deployed. That image can then be duplicated onto multiple
servers.
If you need to upgrade the server hard disk drive, Acronis True Image Echo Server
simplifies the task to few mouse clicks creating the exact copy of your old disk to a new
one and adjusting partitions size to fit a new hard disk.
