Unitrends, the leading provider in integrated and scalable backup, archive, and disaster recovery solutions, today announced the release of next generation VMware 3.5 and vSphere 4 protection. This next generation protection incorporates VADP (vStorage API for Data Protection) as well as CBT (Change Block Tracking) to offer advanced data protection options to server and storage administrators.

“We’re excited to offer this next generation VADP-based protection to our existing set of VMware protection options,” said Sameer Kamat, Director of Engineering, Unitrends. “Our customers have seen incredibly higher performance with CBT. And we’re particularly proud to be able to offer this to our existing and new customers under our No Limits™ licensing policy – which means that there’s no ‘backup tax’ for those customers that wish to use virtualization without incurring additional fees,” Kamat added.

This next generation VMware 3.5 and VMware vSphere 4 data protection is available for the licensed versions of ESXi and ESX VMware virtualization environments.

A virtual appliance free trial is also available for download.
