Mixing offering items from different sub-editions

For a partner tenant, more than one edition can be available.

For a customer tenant, only one edition can be selected: either Cyber Protect or Cyber Backup.

However, the Cyber Protect edition allows mixing offering items from different sub-editions. Offering items from Cyber Backup Standard can also be added to the mix, but they will be billed per workload, like all other offering items in the Cyber Protect edition, including the Local storage.

Thus, in a customer tenant with the Cyber Protect edition, different workloads can be protected by features available in different sub-editions. For example, some machines in this tenant can be protected with the Workstations offering item from the Cyber Protect Essentials sub-edition, while others can be protected with the Servers offering item from the Cyber Protect Advanced sub-edition.

You can also mix parallel offering items from different sub-editions, for example, Workstations from the Cyber Protect Essentials sub-edition and Workstations from the Cyber Protect Standard sub-edition.

The respective protection level is assigned automatically to a machine according to its type, the settings of its first protection plan, and this order of priority:

  1. Cyber Protect Essentials

  2. Cyber Backup Standard

  3. Cyber Protect Standard

  4. Cyber Protect Advanced

An administrator with access to the Cyber Protection service console can manually change the protection level of a specific machine, by selecting an appropriate service quota for it. For more information about how to do this, refer to Changing the service quota of machines.
