COLUMBIA, S.C: Unitrends, a provider in critical data and systems protection solution, on Thursday announced the release of Unitrends Recovery-730.

The solution protects and restores critical data and systems running on over 40 operating systems without the need for multi-vendor software and hardware and without the constraints of traditional licensing policies, said a press release.

Small and medium sized businesses can now receive enterprise-level data protection at the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry with the new Recovery-730 disk-based data protection appliance from Unitrends.

“We have worked to optimize our popular Rapid Recovery systems for the SMB customer moving to a virtualized or SAN environment,” said Duncan McPherson, CEO, Unitrends.

Ideal for virtually any environment or application, the Recovery-730 supports over 40 operating systems and applications for simplified operation in heterogeneous enterprises, said the release.

The Recovery-730, a rack mount 3U form factor on-premise data protection appliance, offers users complete freedom from client- and storage-based licensing.

The integrated device qualifies as high performance, packing a quad processor, 8GB of memory, and a split RAID-1/RAID-6 architecture.

It consists of two internal 1TB drives for the OS and system software, and 12 user-accessible 1.5TB disk drives. It also offers optional eSATA-based archiving.

McPherson further added that offering greater storage capacity, outstanding performance and dramatically lower cost-per-terabyte than competitive offerings, the new Recovery-730 provides the rock-solid data protection companies need with the critical disaster recovery elements missing from the typical VMware/SAN environment.

A virtual appliance trial of the new Recovery-730 is also now available, the release added.
