Unitrends introduced Unitrends Virtual Backup 8.0 Monday, a virtual appliance that provides hypervisor-level protection for VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix.
This product, a vast improvement on its predecessor, PHD Virtual Backup, is a standout among competing systems in the industry. Compared to its peers, UVB 8.0 uses 66 percent less storage space and 75 percent less virtual resources, yet backup and recovery can be performed up to 20 times faster and it has the lowest overall cost of ownership.
“Unitrends Virtual Backup 8.0 helps small to mid-sized enterprises easily and affordably overcome the hurdles of protecting increasingly complex virtual environments,” said Joe Noonan, senior product manager, Unitrends. “This release is yet another key deliverable in our overall strategy to provide organizations with flexible, agile solutions that extend well beyond data backup to applications, systems and infrastructure. We are 100 percent focused on the real end-game for our customers—recovery and business continuity.”
UVB 8.0 is available through direct sales and channel partners for as low as $625, a price intended to make the product accessible for all businesses.
