Published August 27th, 2009

For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) using VMware, Unitrends announced that its family of integrated data protection appliances now leverages VMware vSphere 4 to provide simple, integrated and elegant backups across virtualized and non-virtualized environments. Unitrends’ family of rapid recovery solutions provides unmatched protection through a single, powerful user interface for systems, applications and data running on over 40 operating systems, now including vSphere 4.

“We’re particularly excited to offer not only the existing data protection schemes on VMware including high-granularity virtual machine support and VCB support, but also to support the new VMware Data Recovery virtual appliance on our entire family of data protection appliances,” said Duncan McPherson, CEO of Unitrends. “Our ability to provide RAID-10, RAID-5, and with our Recovery-730 appliance (to be announced later this month) RAID-6 protected storage coupled with our disk-to-disk-to-disk (D2D2D) rotational archiving and asymmetric replication capabilities are a superb match with VMware’s offerings.”

For small and mid-sized organizations with growing amounts of data, Unitrends is a leading provider of integrated, yet affordable, disk-based data protection appliances that deliver rapid recovery through a single, powerful user interface. Ideal for use in both virtualized and non-virtualized environments, Unitrends provides integrated appliances that enable SMB environments to achieve business continuity through rapid recovery in the event of data loss or the failure of a critical server. Unitrends’ rapid data-recovery systems provide redundant layers of protection, including our LAN-based Data Protection Units™, removable disks for near-line archiving, and electronic, medialess, offsite protection for all data and systems through Data Protection Vaults™.
