New Acronis Archival Storage simplifies compliance, reduces cloud storage costs, and ensures fast, reliable access to long-term data.
Acronis has announced the launch of Acronis Archival Storage, a secure, compliant, and cost-effective long-term data retention solution purpose-built for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers.
Designed for compliance-driven and data-intensive environments, Acronis Archival Storage enables organizations to securely retain large volumes of infrequently accessed data while ensuring fast accessibility, predictable pricing, and regulatory readiness. The solution integrates S3-compatible object storage directly into Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, allowing MSPs to manage archival data through a unified billing and management platform.
“With increasing regulatory requirements, many organizations must retain data for years. Acronis Archival Storage enables MSPs to offer their customers a long-term storage solution that combines compliance readiness, predictable total cost of ownership, and operational simplicity. Native integration with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud makes archival storage easy to deploy and manage,” said Gaidar Magdanurov, President at Acronis.
Unlike traditional tape-based systems that are slow and difficult to search—or public cloud archival options that introduce unpredictable egress and API fees—Acronis Archival Storage provides a low-maintenance, cost-stable alternative. It ensures data is readily available when required for audits, investigations, legal discovery, or AI-driven analytics.

As regulatory pressure increases across industries such as finance, healthcare, and legal services, businesses need scalable archival storage that balances security, affordability, and accessibility. Acronis Archival Storage addresses these needs by combining long-term data protection with enterprise-grade performance and transparent pricing.
“Data delivers its greatest value when organizations can securely preserve it and access it for compliance, analytics, and innovation,” said Melyssa Banda, SVP, Edge Enterprise Storage and Services at Seagate. “Our partnership with Acronis ensures archival data remains protected, accessible, and economically predictable—powered by Seagate Lyve Cloud.”
For MSPs, Acronis Archival Storage creates new opportunities to differentiate services, build predictable margins, and deliver end-to-end data protection. By extending the Acronis cyber protection ecosystem with a cold storage tier, service providers can now support the full data lifecycle—from backup and recovery to secure, long-term retention.
