arcserve has announced it is updating Unified Data Protection (UDP), which first debuted back in May of 2014, by expanding its product portfolio into the Purpose-Built Backup Appliance (PBBA) market in early 2015 with platforms powered by UDP. In addition, the company has announced a free edition of its software for endpoint backup and recovery, as well as a powerful update to UDP, which includes enhancements for improved application and hypervisor environment protection.
arcserve’s UDP combines backup, replication, high availability and global de-duplication technologies within one unified console for virtual and physical systems. arcserve UDP Update 2 will introduce new features to protect business-critical applications and hypervisors including a focus on granular recovery capabilities for key Windows-based applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, SharePoint and Oracle. It also will add capabilities for Hyper-V and VMware infrastructures and more than 50 management and usability enhancements.
The new fully-functional arcserve UDP free workstation uses local disk or remote share as backup targets. The ability to leverage arcserve Recovery Point Server (RPS) is available on a trail basis, which includes support for global deduplication.

- Unified management console for all data protection needs
