Chapter 2. Planning Acronis Storage Infrastructure
In this network configuration:
• The Acronis Storage internal network is a network that interconnects all servers in the cluster. It can be
used for the management, storage (internal), and S3 (private) roles. Each of these roles can be moved to
a separate dedicated internal network to ensure high performance under heavy workloads.
This network cannot be accessed from the public network. All servers in the cluster are connected to this
network.
Important: Acronis Storage does not offer protection from traffic sniffing. Anyone with access to
the internal network can capture and analyze the data being transmitted.
• The Acronis Storage public network is a network over which the storage space is exported. Depending
on where the storage space is exported to, it can be an internal datacenter network or an external public
network:
•
An internal datacenter network can be used to manage Acronis Storage and export the storage space
over iSCSI to other servers in the datacenter, that is, for the management and iSCSI (public) roles.
•
An external public network can be used to export the storage space to the outside services through
