Unitrends Recovery-730 Disk-Based Data Protection Appliance for SMBs

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

The Unitrends Recovery-730 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. A virtual appliance trial of the new Recovery-730 is also now available.

“SMB customers today value the ability to not just retain their data, but to restore that data quickly, reliably and on demand,” said Jeff Boles, senior analyst / director, Validation Services, Taneja Group. “They also want to realize immediate and long-term operational cost savings by protecting both their legacy and new computer systems in a single solution. The Unitrends Recovery-730 offers an ideal solution for these customers while also helping them to optimize their storage price-performance ratios by enabling incremental data protection growth without requiring fork-lift upgrades.”

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, simple, and elegant device qualifies as ultra-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. Ideal for virtually any environment or application, the Recovery-730 supports over 40 operating systems and applications for simplified operation in heterogeneous enterprises.

The new Recovery-730 features the following:

• Radically simple licensing. The Recovery-730 offers complete freedom from client- and storage-based licensing, so the only constraint is the physical capacity of the device.
• Advanced inline compression. Advanced inline compression offers a typical 200% to 400% or higher data reduction; this means instant higher retention with no compression overhead on the customer’s IT infrastructure.
• VMware vSphere and Hyper-V support. From support of VMware’s Data Recovery virtual appliance to VCB to VSS to agent-based GOS support, the Recovery-730 provides broad support for virtual machine environments.
• Hot swap external drives, cold swap internal drives, power supplies, and fans. The Recovery-730 features replaceable hot-swap external drives as well as cold-swap internal drives, power supplies, and fans for higher reliability, availability, and serviceability.
• Enhanced direct NAS protection. The Recovery-730 supports direct NAS protection via CIFS and NFS protocols with no higher-priced NDMP agent, no vendor-proprietary format lock-in, and without single-threaded speed restrictions.

“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. “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.”

Pricing and Availability
The fully-integrated Recovery-730 is available now with 15TB of raw system capacity at an MSRP of $29,995. The Recovery-730 also offers a radically simple licensing approach that gives users freedom to store as much on the device as they wish until the physical capacity is full.
