Unitrends Forever Cloud
Purpose-built for easy, cost-effective off-site retention

Overview:

VBetter Protection than Public Clouds at a Fraction of the Cost

Incredibly inexpensive, fully automated, offsite and long-term data protection without the complexity of public clouds. No egress fees or upcharges. Just predictable, straightforward costs, even as your data grows.

Features:

• Simple Pricing – Unitrends Cloud charges one low price per GB of protected data. There are no additional fees for data access or networking transfers.
• Disaster Recovery Services – Unitrends Cloud offers two DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service) options. Unlimited DRaaS delivers spin-up of an unlimited number of VMware and Hyper-V VMs and physical Windows servers, based on the protected capacity of your Forever Cloud account. Premium DRaaS is configured per virtual machine and delivers a 1-hour spin-up SLA and Recovery Assurance that delivers testing and automated reports that prove recoverability.
• 24-Hour Shipping SLA – Unitrends Cloud offers 24-hour SLAs on shipping data back to the customer. One of the reasons we offer our own cloud is because it gives us the ability to tightly control and test against these SLAs.
• WAN Optimization – Unitrends Cloud is purpose-built for backup and continuity and includes features such as WAN optimization/acceleration for an RPO, which is much faster than AWS or Azure.
• Faster RTO – By implementing DRaaS spin-up in the cloud, Unitrends delivers a better RTO than other providers. Both AWS Cloud and Azure use a more protracted process that requires the system to send back the data via an internet-based WAN connection. Also, low-cost cold storage options like Amazon Glacier can take up to 4 hours to access your first byte of data.
• Cloud Seeding – Minimize data transfer time and cost by sending us a disk of your data for seeding in the cloud. These optional services quickly establish your initial data set with no headaches or long waits on data transfer over the internet.
• Expert Service – The U.S.-based Unitrends Cloud Ops team provides White Glove Service to ensure you are taken care of right from the initial setup to failover and failback. Our cloud services and technology are backed by our 30 years of experience in the industry.
• Flexibility and Hyperscale Cloud Integration – Need to spin-up some VMs in Azure or AWS for testing or disaster recovery? Unitrends gives you the flexibility to choose the cloud and DR strategy that works best for your business. Unitrends backup appliances work with the Unitrends Cloud, Azure and AWS.
