Unitrends Lowers Data Protection Cost-Per-Terabyte with New Recovery-710

New Rapid Recovery Appliance Frees SMBs from the Constraints of Traditional
Licensing Strategies
COLUMBIA, S.C.--(Business Wire)--
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with heterogeneous infrastructures,
including those moving to VMware/SAN environments, now have a lower cost, higher
capacity option for data protection and recovery. The new Unitrends
Recovery-710, released today, provides greater storage capacity, outstanding
performance, and dramatically lowers cost-per-terabyte compared to competitive
offerings. Best, it gives users complete freedom from storage license or client
limits.

"Today`s virtualized environments cannot obtain the data protection and disaster
recovery functionality they need using a traditional SAN," said Duncan
McPherson, chief executive officer, Unitrends. "SANs often fail to protect
`orphaned` servers running a different operating system and cannot adequately
support a company`s compliance strategy in support of increasing regulations.
The Recovery-710 meets these needs while providing an economical alternative to
a VM/SAN environment. It includes a radically simple licensing approach that
gives users freedom to store as much on the device as they wish until the
physical capacity is full."

Designed specifically for SMBs with a mix of hardware (servers, desktop PC,
notebooks), operating systems, applications, storage (DAS, NAS, SAN) and
virtualization, the Recovery-710 features powerful quad-core processors, 8GB of
RAM and an advanced RAID architecture for maximum protection and flexibility.
The Recovery-710 also packs 3TB of raw disk capacity into a small 1U rack-mount
appliance for protection of as much as 6-12TB of user data with standard in-line
compression. This makes the effective cost-per-TB as little as $800,
significantly less than that of traditional data deduplication vendors or SANs.

The new rack mount Recovery-710 also offers the following key features:

* Radically simple licensing. The Recovery-710 offers complete freedom from
client- and storage-based licensing, so the only constraint is the physical
capacity of the device.
* Multiple appliance scalability with "single pane of glass" management.
Multiple on-premise appliances may be used to respond to customer`s IT
infrastructure growth and to respond to increasingly more aggressive backup
window requirements - all managed in a centralized, sophisticated yet simple Web
2.0 user interface.
* Advanced AES 256-bit encryption. Advanced inline encryption offloads
encryption processing from the customer`s IT infrastructure.
* Advanced inline compression. Advanced inline compression offers a typical 200%
to 400% or higher data reduction; this means instant higher retention with no
compression overhead on the customer`s IT infrastructure.
* VMware vSphere and Hyper-V support. From support of VMware`s Data Recovery
virtual appliance to VCB to VSS to agent-based GOS support, the Recovery-710
provides broad support for virtual machine environments.
* Integrated advanced hardware and software notification system. Integrated,
comprehensive alerts, SNMP, and e-mail notification system for hardware and
software event management.
* Optional eSATA- and USB-based archiving. Optional eSATA archiving supporting
D2D2D (Disk-to-Disk-to-Disk) rotational archiving.

The fully-integrated Recovery-710 is available now with pricing starting at
$9,995. For more information, please visit www.unitrends.com.
