Data Connections is please to announce a new channel partnership with Unitrends, a leading back-up and recovery appliance manufacturer based in Columbia, SC.  

“Unitrends offers data protection appliances that provide the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) in the industry in terms of protecting and restoring critical data and systems. Our family of disk-to-disk (D2D) data protection appliances provides unmatched backup and rapid recovery of lost systems, applications, and unstructured, and structured data as well as disaster recovery protection. Our on-premise Data Protection Units (DPUs) for local backups, our disk-to-disk-to-disk (D2D2D) rotational archiving appliances, and Data Protection Vaults (DPVs) for off-site data vaulting (replication) eliminate the need for multi-vendor software and hardware and coupled with our world-class customer support provides an integrated, simple, and elegant solution that is designed from the ground-up for small- and medium-sized enterprises.”

“This is an important addition to our line that will compliment our growing Virtual Desktop business. Our small to midsize clients will greatly benefit from these solutions for back-up and fast restores. Larger clients will also benefit from the bare metal and dis-similar bare metal restore and provisioning capabilities of certain Unitrends appliances.” commented Fritz Menchinger, President of Data Connections, Inc.
