Unitrends Free Disrupts Market, Replaces Legacy Ad Hoc Backup Tools with A Simple, Yet Powerful Backup and Continuity Solution for vSphere and Hyper-V BURLINGTON, Mass., May 12, 2015 - Unitrends, a leader in enterprise-level cloud recovery, today released the public beta version of Unitrends Free™, a new addition to the company’s virtual data protection software family. Unitrends Free is the first free backup solution specifically designed for IT professionals seeking cost-effective protection for home labs, early-stage virtualization projects and small environments. The powerful software delivers true production-ready capabilities not currently available in other free virtual backup tools. “The Unitrends Free experience is flawless and easy,” said Bill Damron, vice president at A-1 Limousine Inc. “You usually don’t come across a free product that is both straightforward and fully functional, not to mention, one that features a beautifully designed, intuitive user interface. The software enables impeccable recovery at the file-, instant- and virtual machine-levels, and I am also impressed with how smooth Unitrends has made the restore process.” Features in Unitrends Free include:
“We’ve been utilizing a paid version of a competing virtual backup tool, and it’s clunky, slow and unnecessarily complex – on the contrary, Unitrends Free is fast, responsive and is not resource-intensive,” commented Darrin Molloy, health computer systems engineer at Peter Christensen Health Center. “Unitrends has significantly raised the bar for simplicity of use for a backup and recovery product overall, let alone for a free version! With a few simple clicks, you can get peace of mind that your data is protected.” With Unitrends Free, the company is answering the market’s call for more robust, no-cost data protection with fewer restrictions – and it’s backed by a new Unitrends community forum. IT professionals can now capitalize on free, award-winning capabilities enjoyed by existing Unitrends customers, as well as easily exchange ideas, get technical support and drive dialogue on effective methods for backup, archiving, instant recovery and disaster recovery. “Unitrends Free couples enterprise-class capabilities not found in other free tools with refreshingly uncomplicated navigation and performance monitoring capabilities. We are pleased to offer individuals and organizations with smaller environments or limited budgets the high-caliber data protection they too deserve,” said Kevin Weiss, Unitrends’ president and chief executive officer. “With the Unitrends Community rallying behind the product, fellow users can also tap each other’s expertise and experiences to get the most out of Unitrends Free virtual backup and recovery.” |
