InfrastructureHyperconverged Infrastructure
Software-defined storage, compute, and networking consolidated on commodity hardware.
Acronis Hyperconverged Infrastructure consolidates software-defined storage, compute, and networking onto commodity hardware — the scalable, resilient foundation that runs Acronis workloads and stores backups. Built on OpenStack and KVM, it removes the cost and lock-in of proprietary stacks while delivering the storage and virtualization foundation for cyber protection. Faltrox delivers and operates it as managed infrastructure.
Overview
What Hyperconverged Infrastructure is
Traditional infrastructure separates storage, compute, and networking into siloed systems that are expensive to buy, complex to run, and hard to scale. Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) consolidates them into one software-defined platform on commodity hardware — and Acronis provides an HCI foundation built for cyber protection: software-defined storage, KVM compute, and software-defined networking that scale together.
It provides the resilient, scalable storage foundation for Acronis backups and the virtualization foundation to run workloads, built on OpenStack and KVM so there is no proprietary hypervisor lock-in. It underpins the Cyber Frame IaaS platform and gives service providers and enterprises a converged, secure infrastructure base. Faltrox delivers and operates it as managed infrastructure — the storage and compute foundation of the cyber protection it runs.

Works with
Part of the platform
Acronis products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.
Delivery
You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Acronis Hyperconverged Infrastructure for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01What is hyperconverged infrastructure?
HCI consolidates storage, compute, and networking — traditionally separate, siloed systems — into one software-defined platform on commodity hardware. That removes the cost and complexity of separate systems and lets storage and compute scale together, which is simpler and cheaper to run.
02How does it relate to Acronis backup?
It provides the scalable, resilient storage foundation that Acronis backups are stored on, and the virtualization foundation to run workloads — so the same converged platform underpins both data protection and compute.
03How is it different from Cyber Frame?
The hyperconverged infrastructure is the software-defined storage, compute, and networking foundation; Cyber Frame is the IaaS platform built on top of it that service providers use to deliver VMs and storage to customers. HCI is the base; Cyber Frame is the service-provider product on it.
04Does it avoid proprietary lock-in?
Yes — it is built on OpenStack and KVM and runs on commodity hardware, so it avoids the cost and lock-in of proprietary virtualization and appliance stacks, giving long-term flexibility and independence.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We deploy and operate the hyperconverged infrastructure as the managed storage and compute foundation of the cyber protection we run — scaling it, keeping it resilient, and using it to store backups and run workloads.
