Alternatives Considered

Wasabi Object Storage

We have a couple of instances where Wasabi makes sense, and that has to do with the physical size of the backup. They simply were too large to be economically sound on [Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery] at the time. Recovery for these servers is not needed immediately so that also weighed against Unitrends purchasing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Many years ago, I heard this simple description of users: there are those who have lost data, and those who are about to. [Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery] gives a solid solution for backup and recovery that you can manage. If your company needs fast recovery from a disaster, then you should absolutely consider [Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery]. If your needs are not as expedient, then storing your backup on a slower recovery service is an option.

Late to adopt, happy we did.
