Introduction – About Us

2 2 AQESA Company Confidential and Proprietary Information - All Rights Reserved

Unitrends has the ability to do what is called a bare-metal restore. A bare-metal restore is taking an operating system and moving it to different hardware. With most operating systems the drivers become an issues. Unitrends can substitute the drivers for you, making for a quick restore.

Unitrends does not charge customers according to the number of machines to be protected, nor do they charge you for protecting different operating systems. Unitrends’ pricing is based on the amount of data that you wish to protect and how many of the protection snapshots you wish to keep

VMware does a superb job of handling high availability. VMware has some good disaster recovery offerings on its platform, but these suffer unless a great deal of unused WAN bandwidth is available and is vulnerable to human error, viruses, and the like. In terms of data protection, VMware has designed their platform such that third-party data protection tools are needed. Unitrends offers a suite of appliances that are designed to both handle disaster recovery in a WAN-optimized fashion taking into account the constraints of bandwidth found at our customer’s sites and that are designed to support data protection at both the VCB and the virtual machine level.

With an easy to use drag and drop interface, we've

created a revolutionary grid-based tool for managing all

aspects of data protection

No more switching from

window to window to

manage your entire backup.

Our ground-breaking

"iseGrid" technology allows

an unlimited number of

appliances, operating

systems and clients to be

managed behind one pane

of glass.



Quickly change views to see the past, present and future status of backup jobs. You

can view current jobs on the present tab, scheduled jobs on the future tab and

weekly backup statuses on the past tab.

No ghosts needed; the past, present and future at your fingertips



Scheduled archiving and immediate archiving enables long-term storage of data

to many different types of removable media, including: tape drives, eSATA, USB

devices and removable disk drives.

Minimize Risk. Archive Now.



A color-coded, 7 days at-a-glance backup and vaulting statuses help save you

time so you can focus on what really matters.

Green means go.


It's easy to create a flexible schedule with our drag and drop interface.

Schedules are the foundation of continuous data protection.

Flexible Scheduling


Novice or not, wizards are cool.

Expecto Patronus! Step-by-step a scheduling wizard is here to create on-

the-fly or scheduled backups to help you protect your data.

Flexible Scheduling


It's been months since I have done that!

We understand scheduling isn't something managed day-to-day. We

created a user-friendly interface so creating a new calendar, scheduling

the different types of backups and adding a particular type of client to that

schedule is as easy as riding a bike.

Flexible Scheduling


You can do whatever you like.

Through a top down workflow, our scheduling grants fine grain control to

design the calendar and the schedule any way you can imagine.

Flexible Scheduling


Unitrends appliances are monitored and managed through a single,

intuitive, pane of glass, web 2.0-based user interface. This enables you

to buy only the appliance you need and yet grow the amount of space

on your appliance as your business grows.

Scalability

Grow, Baby, Grow!


Trying to do large backups across the entire network of an enterprise

means that you're going to swamp the network. Plus, your backup

window is going to grow as the amount of data you protect grows. With

Unitrends, you simply put one or more backup appliances on each

network segment and voila!

Scalability

We Don't Need Any Stniking Network Congestion


The problem with most backup solutions is that periodically you have to

"forklift" a bigger system into place and throw away your old system.

Not with Unitrends. Need more backup, archiving or disaster recovery?

Just add another appliance.

Scalability

No Forklifts Allowed


There are all sorts of fancy

words out there for all of this -

"RAIN" (Redundant Array of

Inexpensive Nodes), "Grid",

and the like. The technology is

great – but the benefits are

insanely awesome – letting

you buy an enterprise-class

data protection solution

without the enterprise-class

price or headaches as your

business grows.

Scalability

Is It Going to RAIN?


No need for a time machine here. We

allow restoring up to the latest possible

time or to a specific point-in-time, making

it possible for you to the be the hero.

Easy Recovery

You don't need a fourth dimension to go back in time.


With Incremental Forever, only a single master or full backup is needed

which makes backup windows shorter and improves network efficiency,

Easy Recovery

It's called Rapid Recovery for a reason.


Through a drag and drop interface, it is easy to exclude files and folders

from the restore operation. You can also exclude files and folders based

on a file pattern.

Easy Recovery

Let's be exclusive.


The restore pane is made up of a recovery point, a recovery point time

table and a graphical representation of a 24-hour day. With this graphical

interface, it's simple to identify the intervals of time from which to restore.

Easy Recovery

Finding time is easy.


Available for alerts, backups, devices, failures, license capacity, restores,

SQL Server data and vaulting, our reports are colorful, informative and

easy enough for any luddite to understand! .

Graphical Reporting

Because reporting doesn't have to be boring.


Detailed reports containing all raw data and a summary of that data are at

your fingertips if you choose to dive a little deeper. For your viewing

pleasure, this data can even be sorted by multiple columns!

Graphical Reporting

Stay shallow or dive deep.


With capacity reporting, it's easy to view the space being used, the

licensed capacity associated with a system and the sizable relationship

between appliances, systems and clients.

Graphical Reporting

Get that music off your computer!


In addition to an incredibly easy to use interface, Unitrends provides next-

generation data protection designed from the ground up as a simple, all-in-one

solution for small, medium and enterprise businesses.
