A record year for product development fueled Unitrends’ growth in 2014. The company introducedUnitrends Cloud™, an enterprise-level, hybrid cloud data protection solution that works with its portfolio of physical and virtual backup appliances, and unveiled Release 8.0 of its Recovery-Series physical appliances and Unitrends Enterprise Backup™ virtual appliances – both of which were critical factors in the company’s success. Unitrends also increased its investment in VMware® and Amazon Web Services (AWS) migration, cloudbursting and disaster recovery through its release of Unitrends Boomerang™.

“Unitrends customers are demanding more than heterogeneous on-premise backup and manual archiving solutions – they now demand fully-integrated business continuity and disaster recovery,” said Kevin Weiss, CEO at Unitrends. “The introduction of Unitrends Cloud and Release 8.0 of Recovery-Series and Unitrends Enterprise Backup were critical steps in delivering on our commitment to all IT professionals – those managing virtual infrastructure, physical infrastructure and cloud: That they can have uncompromising confidence in their IT infrastructure.  Our acquisitions and integration of PHD Virtual and Yuruware continue to pay benefits in the realization of our vision.  And as wonderful as 2014 was, we’ve really only just begun to deliver value for our customers and our partners with our cloud-empowered data protection solutions.”
