Unitrends offers InCrypt encryption product for SMEs

COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA: Unitrends, a leading provider of innovative, integrated solutions that protect and restore critical data and systems, has announced its InCrypt encryption product, the first fully-integrated data recovery and encryption appliance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Using advanced encryption technology, Unitrends' InCrypt allows businesses to safeguard at-Rest and in-Flight data with a module easily added to Unitrends' complete line of data protection and rapid recovery solutions. Unitrends' InCrypt allows SMEs to fulfill all critical backup/protection needs with one appliance including data encryption, offsite electronic vaulting and complete rapid BareMetal recovery for operating systems, applications and data.

"Businesses are increasingly looking to encryption technologies to meet the growing data security requirements," said Lauren Whitehouse, Enterprise Strategy Group analyst. "With InCrypt, Unitrends is delivering a fully integrated, operationally simple solution that not only provides data security for data at-rest and on its vault, but also for data in-flight. This feature really sets Unitrends apart and provides its customers added protection."

SMEs now have access to a secure and simplified encryption product to meet the growing regulatory and corporate requirements to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and theft, while benefiting from Unitrends' comprehensive and fully-integrated recovery appliance.

"Small and mid-sized companies face similar data security and protection challenges as their larger peers, but frequently have not implemented a reliable data protection and business continuity solution because of cost and implementation obstacles unique to smaller companies," said Laura DuBois, IDC research director for storage software. "Unitrends is helping to change that situation with affordable and comprehensive data security and protection solutions that provide SMEs the protection they need."

"Unitrends' new high-level encryption provides exceptional security and data protection while maintaining high server performance levels, and is seamlessly integrated with our complete family of backup and recovery appliances. Unitrends remains committed to delivering the latest technology advances, such as advanced encryption, BareMetal recovery and offsite vaulting to SMEs at affordable prices, and all in an integrated, easy-to-use solution," Mark Phillippi, Unitrends vice president of technology and product management.
