Unitrends: Direct to Cloud Backup for Unparalleled Data Protection and Effortless Recovery

Unitrends, a Kaseya company, announced Unitrends Cloud Backup (UCB).

This new product empowers IT professionals in small and mid-size organizations and MSPs to protect data that resides on servers and end point devices by replicating it directly to the Unitrends Cloud.

Despite the shift to cloud-hosted applications such as Salesforce and Microsoft Office 365, a large amount of critical business data is still created and stored outside the cloud – including vital employee – created and managed data such as Word documents, photos, recordings, notes, business contracts. With Unitrends Cloud Backup, businesses no longer have the risk losing that data to a HDD crash, a lost laptop, or ransomware. Once in the cloud, data is safeguarded from viruses, hackers, corruption, user error, and accidental deletion.

“Unitrends Cloud Backup provides an affordable, low-maintenance data protection offering to complement existing client backup and recovery solutions,” said Mike Sanders, GM. “When it comes to organizations’ backup needs, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. We aim to provide flexible and reliable solutions that can be tailored to meet a variety of requirements, whether you have limited servers and don’t require the full backup and recovery options provided by a backup appliance, or you already have backup services for specific servers but want an additional, less expensive data protection option for the rest – and everything in between.”

With this new product, file-level recovery is simpler because UCB removes the need to restore to a local physical storage device before returning data to its original location. It features the ability to restore backups to the source device or other media, all while providing visibility into protected assets.

MSPs have the power to configure and manage backups, as well as produce usage reports for each of their customers. UCB can be used alone or in concert with Unitrends backup and disaster recovery appliances.

UCB pricing begins as low as $10/month with unlimited storage and 30 days of retention. Future releases with the purpose of protecting servers will begin at $1/GB of protected capacity with 30 days of retention.
