these new machines, as well as legacy ones, running one solution. 

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,

every server. With Acronis True Image Server for Linux, the IT manager can create a disk 

image of the first system deployed. That image can then be duplicated onto multiple 

servers.
