Unitrends Free Extends Enterprise Data Protection

Unitrends, Inc. announced Unitrends Free support for the free vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi).

This virtual appliance delivers enterprise backup and recovery capabilities for free ESXi environments as well as protection for both physical Windows and virtual systems – for up to 1TB of data.

Unitrends Free is a free backup solution specifically designed for IT professionals seeking cost-effective protection for home labs, early-stage virtualization projects and small environments. The appliance was initially introduced in May 2015, offering hypervisor-level protection for the paid versions of vSphere and Hyper-V. The company has since made available Unitrends Free for Google Cloud Platform, a jointly developed version of the solution that tightly integrates with Google Cloud Storage.

Unitrends Free enables customers to install into and protect VMs running on VMware’s free vSphere hypervisor and protect physical Windows systems via guest OS agents.

Unitrends Free provides a simple and interactive user experience, eliminating the complexity of backup and recovery without compromising robust functionality or performance. The free product offers: protection for an unlimited number of VMs; instant recovery; and fast, incremental forever backups. IT professionals also have direct access to the Unitrends customer community from the software’s main dashboard, giving them the ability to interact directly with their peers and Unitrends support without ever having to exit out of the tool.

Unitrends Free support for free ESXi is available.
