Unitrends D2D Supports BareMetal Protection

Unitrends announced that Release 4.2.1 for its backup appliances now supports BareMetal protection capabilities for pSeries AIX version 5.3 and above. Unitrends backup appliances support more than 100 versions of operating systems and applications, including IBM pSeries/AIX, for truly heterogeneous data protection for small and medium businesses.

“Our D2D backup appliances provide a powerful solution for companies that rely on IBM pSeries/AIX and deliver enterprise-class data protection and backup and recovery with an appliance designed from the ground up for small and medium businesses,” said Dr. Mark Campbell, chief operating officer, Unitrends. “Now, with backup support for AIX BareMetal protection, Unitrends appliances give pSeries users the peace of mind they need knowing that their system can be recovered from the ground up with ease.”

For most AIX users, mksysb just isn’t enough for reliable backup and data protection. Even through performing a backup with mksysb can create a bootable tape, independent studies show that as much as 70 percent (or more) of tape recoveries fail. With Unitrends D2D backup, AIX users have comprehensive data protection – from day to day protection to complete BareMetal restores – that is integrated, simple, elegant and truly heterogeneous.

Unitrends also offers a simple licensing approach with no client charges or limits for all of its appliances and its exclusive No Limits licensing for its Recovery-7 Series appliances.
