Time To Make a Change From the Old World of Backup Exec Into the New World of A Simpler More Integrated Solution.

Most solutions today require you to pull together multiple vendors, which adds finger pointing, more setup and a lot of manual tuning to get things just right. Sometimes that can mean you’re using more products to get the capabilities that you really need. Additionally, with Windows being the OS used for most backup vendors today, the threat of Ransomware impacting all your backups becomes much higher. Backup should be your insurance policy. You don’t want to have to fight the same fires with your backups that you do in production. And ultimately, the old world concept makes it very difficult to support with high customer satisfaction, which hurts confidence. Contrast that with where we think we play in the New World and the all-in-one approach.

Why Unitrends?

Our mission – the reason Unitrends exists - is to increase your uptime and confidence in a world where you must do more with less. We don’t sell you a piece of backup software and tell you to slap it on Windows and figure it all out yourself; we sell cloud-empowered, purpose built, all-in-one backup appliances (hardware and software) that operate on your premise and in AWS and Azure.

Just like the Apple iPhone, Unitrends is that one device deployed physically or virtually thats simplifies your backup needs whether on premise or in the cloud. Think of it this way, you don't carry around telephones, cameras, music players, recorders, etc, you simply carry around your device that has all of these. Why would you deploy several different solutions from storage, to protecting physical machines and then using something to protect your systems virtually as well.? A good example is partnerships like with Veeam and Exagrid. You still need a cloud connect partner (aka an MSP) to support the configuration to put your data in the cloud. If you use one device to simplify your personal use, why don't you do it professionally..? The answer is going to one device that manages all, hence the Unitrends story.

Unitrends vs. Veritas Backup Exec

Let’s face it – Symantec, now Veritas Backup Exec is legacy. From lagging in features, to being sold across companies several times, lacking cloud offers and a failed attempt at an appliance, Veritas has not kept pace with the industry. Add the complexity of their UI and you are ripe for failure. Veritas Backup Exec lags behind in just about every area of the product. Veritas’ user base has greatly decreased so the very future of the product is much in question.

Unitrends vs. Veritas NetBackup

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”. With that definition Symantec, now Veritas NetBackup is anything but sophisticated. With IT administrators dealing with a deluge of data growth, shrinking budgets and increased infrastructure complexity, the last thing they want is a backup product to suck them dry of time and budgeted dollars. Veritas NetBackup expensive offering coupled with its complexity is a modern IT administrator’s nightmare

Now is the time to get off that stage coach that is Backup Exec and move over to something more integrated, scalable and brings it all together to simplify your DR strategy. For more information and to see a live demo, go to www.unitrends.com today. To sign up for a demo click here
