Safeguard Your Mission-Critical Data No Matter Where It Lives
Data protection is a top priority for businesses of all sizes. All data must be protected, regardless of where it lives — whether on-premises, cloud infrastructure or SaaS applications. The FLEXspend for Unitrends program allows you to flexibly reassign an existing backup contract to another solution within the Unitrends Unified Backup suite to protect any type of workload and data — including on-premises, remote, distributed and cloud servers, as well as cloud data stored in SaaS applications like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Salesforce.
Adapt to the Needs of Your Organization Without Hurting IT Budget
Are you planning to move on-premises servers to the cloud or vice versa? Is your organization replacing PCs with Macs? No matter what your data protection requirements are, we’ve got you covered. With FLEXspend for Unitrends, you can now easily reassign your backup investment to a different Unitrends technology, even during the committed service contract, to meet your organization's data protection needs. Additionally, your IT team can safely migrate production data and build retention on the new backup technology. FLEXspend provides you with a transition period during which both data protection technologies are available simultaneously without any extra charges.
