Unitrends V.10.3 Software for Recovery Series Appliances and Backup Virtual Appliances

Unitrends, Inc. and Unitrends MSP announced the version 10.3 software for Recovery Series hardware and the company’s backup virtual appliances.

The combination of enhanced foundational efficiencies in the Gen 8 Recovery Series appliances along with the 10.3 software changes the economics of data management – enabling IT managers and MSPs to meet backup and long-term retention requirements without sacrificing recovery time or access to business-critical applications and data.

“The traditional data management paradigm wastes IT time on both retention policy management and moving data to lower cost archiving media, where access and recovery is unacceptably slow,” said Joe Noonan, VP, product management and marketing, Unitrends. “Unitrends Gen 8 Recovery Series appliances with our v 10.3 software automates long-term data management and stores data cost effectively for regulatory compliance, instant access, fast restores, ransomware protection and Recovery Assurance testing.“

Protecting physical servers as easy and cost efficient as VMs
Version 10.3 software optimizes the way data is stored and replicated on the firm’s Recovery Series appliances, doubling the performance of file level backup and replication. Adaptive deduplication, performance optimized ingest and fast, low-bandwidth replication enable organisations to keep their data on performance backup appliances indefinitely while staying within budget. The Windows Image Level Protection feature makes protecting physical Windows servers with millions of individual files as fast and easy as virtual servers.

Long-term data management for easy, cost efficient regulatory compliance
V10.3 adds a long-term data management capability that eliminates the cost and administrative burden for customers subject to multi-year retention requirements of regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX).

This Long-Term Data Management feature allows customers to meet retention requirements without sacrificing accessibility or performance. Customers can specify retention policies for large volumes of backup jobs in two clicks, circumventing the need to set up multiple jobs manually while introducing a retention scheme that minimises cost and capacity requirements of archived data.

Users specify retention requirements – from days to multiple years – and the company’s appliances with 10.3 automatically ensure compliance and efficient capacity utilisation.

“With each new version of our product, we make managing data easier and more cost effective,” added Noonan. “Our customers rely on us to provide continually higher levels of protection while finding ways to eliminate inefficiencies and wasted time for IT admins, who use our products.”

The version 10.3 software is available on both the Recovery Series backup appliances and the firm’s backup virtual appliances.
