1. About Acronis Storage¶

Acronis Storage is a software-defined storage solution that allows you to quickly and easily transform low-cost commodity storage hardware and network equipment into protected enterprise-grade storage like SAN or NAS.

Acronis Storage is optimized for storing large amounts of data and provides data redundancy (replication and erasure coding), high availability, self-healing, and storage sharing.

Acronis Storage offers integration with the Acronis Notary service to leverage blockchain notarization and ensure the immutability of data saved in object storage clusters. The notary service timestamps the data and stores data fingerprints in a public blockchain ledger, not owned by Acronis, ensuring data immutability. As a result, blockchain notarization is well suited for and commonly used to maintain authenticity of such data as property and medical records, chain-of-evidence for court documents, police video or security camera footage, intellectual property bound documents, long-term archiving that could be subject to IT audits, and ‘consortium’ data storage, where multiple entities or individuals need to securely store and exchange massive amounts of data and information.
