It is no longer good enough to create backups, wait for a disaster and hope you can recover. You need to know in advance when an emergency is occurring, that your applications will recover instantly and certify to company stakeholders that the business is fully protected. To meet these critical goals IT administrators need the power of proactive and predictive backup analytics and reporting. These tools will automatically test and certify that your applications can instantly recover from a failure, recognize a ransomware attack early, and even predict hardware or software failures before they occur. All editions of Unitrends Recovery Series and Unitrends Backup appliances include predictive analytic software.
Automated Ransomware Discovery
Early detection means faster recovery. Ransomware may lay dormant on your network for days and even weeks, encrypting more and more files without you even knowing there is an infection. However, all Unitrends backup and continuity appliances include our patent-pending adaptive and predictive analytic software that uses machine learning to recognize threat conditions from ransomware activity. Unitrends developed artificial intelligence (AI) that runs during every backup, analyzing the randomness of file changes (not just change rates) to identify backups infected by ransomware. Upon detection, email and dashboard alerts are immediately sent to administrators and all suspected backups are flagged with an icon to prevent recoveries using infected files. Unitrends catches ransomware in the act so you can recover faster and with confidence, without paying hackers a dime.
100% Confidence You Will Recover
Unitrends Recovery Assurance provides fully automated, application-level testing to ensure your applications will failover within your targeted Recovery Point Objective (RPO). Analytics will tell you if all the required files, settings, applications and data are ready and capable of instant emergency access. Recovery Assurance proactively uncovers recovery issues for physical & virtual workloads, whether located locally, off-site or in the cloud. Recovery Assurance will document the results of the testing with easy-to-read reports that meet even the highest compliance requirements.
Understand the Impact of Downtime
IT professionals know the risk to their business are multi-fold — operations can grind to a halt in the event of natural disaster, ransomware attack, or employee error. The only way to prepare for the unknown is to understand the impact of an outage before it occurs. Unitrends automates risk analysis with recovery analytics powered by our unique Recovery Assurance technology. Automatically run a recovery tests to see reports and statistics revealing how an outage would impact business continuity, and how much data your business might lose.
Proactive Monitoring and Service
An organization with a Customer Satisfaction Rating of 98% can’t just sit and wait for the phone to ring. Unitrends uses cloud-based predictive and analytic tools to catch hardware and software failures before they happen. Once performance anomalies are identified a support ticket is opened proactively to address the issue before it affects customer performance. Unitrends will send replacement hardware even before the original registers any issues. Preventative software enhancements and patches are constantly being distributed based on needs identified by predictive analytics.
Easily Enable Analytics without Impacting Production
You never want to perform analytics on production systems. Unitrends’ backup appliances are able to orchestrate instant creation of isolated, fully featured test and development environments using backup data faster than traditional server cloning techniques. These test/dev environments can be made available over the network for software version testing, analytics, patch tests, or what/if analysis without risking production environments.
Unitrends has been able to provide us with peace of mind that we will be able to restore data in case of emergency and enabled us to lower our RTO and RPO significantly. The appliances and services are stable and reliable. Our Unitrends appliance literally paid for itself after being able to restore the 2 million+ files affected by ransomware earlier this year.
