Unitrends unveils bundled Data Protection software package

Unitrends has unveiled the Unitrends Certified Recovery Suite™ (UCRS), a bundled software package that sets a new price-performance standard for midmarket and larger companies. Available through partner sales channels, UCRS gives enterprises the flexibility to select the perfect solutions set for their specific physical and virtual backup, archiving and disaster recovery needs—at a single, all-inclusive price on par with what niche virtualisation-only vendors are charging for virtual backup only.

With the Unitrends Certified Recovery Suite, the company makes it easy for organisations to take advantage of enterprise-class, end-to-end protection at the best cost-to-value ratio in the industry, as well as award-winning, around-the-clock customer support with automated proactive monitoring. UCRS establishes a new benchmark for application-level certified recovery with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Citrix Hyper-V, XenServer, and more than 100 versions of servers, storage, operating systems, and applications. Customers can leverage any or all of the features afforded by Unitrends’ software to achieve the right integrated solutions mix for their organisation. Unitrends allows for flexible unified recovery ‘anywhere.’

UCRS comprises the following:

• Unitrends Enterprise Backup™ (UEB) for physical, virtual, and cloud data protection (including the company’s patent-pending meta-bare metal recovery for Cisco UCS).

• Unitrends Virtual Backup (formerly PHD Virtual Backup) for simple yet sophisticated VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer protection.

• ReliableDR for hypervisor-, array-, and backup-level VMware vSphere replication automation, orchestration, continuous testing, and disaster recovery.

“The Unitrends Certified Recovery Suite introduces a comprehensive integrated solutions approach to backup and recovery in a single package, and at a highly attractive price point,” said Subo Guha, vice president of product management and marketing at Unitrends. “Whether a customer needs virtualisation-only data protection support at the Host Operating System (HOS) level, or they have physical backup or a need for more granular protection at the Guest Operating System (GOS) level or cloud replication requirements, they can select exactly what overall protection solution is ideal for their diverse infrastructure—without paying for capabilities they don’t want or need. UCRS is yet another way that we’re delivering on our promise to not only minimise the complexity of data protection for our customers through innovative technology, but also give them versatility of deployment.”
