10X Growth in Cloud Services Drives Strong Unitrends Performance

Massive growth in cloud continuity, enterprise backup appliances, and strong analyst recognition provides Unitrends a solid foundation to begin a new fiscal year.

BURLINGTON, Mass., March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Paul Brady, Unitrends CEO reports "We are very pleased with the results from our fiscal year 2018 and believe we are well positioned to continue our strong growth into next year." Unitrends fiscal year 2018 ended January 31. Highlights of the fiscal year 2018 include:

    --  Enterprise adoption of cloud-based data protection and recovery services
        is driving much of Unitrends explosive growth. Offering the industries'
        only 1-hour, contractually committed recovery service level agreement
        (SLA), Unitrends increased its number of protected disaster
        recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS) machines by over 10X over the year.
        Unitrends currently protects more than 100PB of customer data in the
        cloud.

    --  Included in the overall results was a strong increase in business with
        enterprise-grade customers, organizations with more than $100M in
        revenue. Unitrends had a 37% growth in the high-end, 9XX Recovery Series
        hardware appliances and attached cloud services.

    --  Customers continue to rate Unitrends Support Services at one of the
        highest levels in the industry. Unitrends Customers Service continued to
        earn a Satisfaction Rating of 98%, leading customers to increase their
        license and product renewal bookings at high double digit growth rates
        in FY 2018. Just last month Unitrends' Customer Support team was awarded
        a Gold and a Silver Stevie Award for Sales and Customer Service.

    --  Gartner, one of the world's leading IT analyst firms, recognizes
        Unitrends continued industry leadership. Gartner named Unitrends a
        Visionary in their 2017 Magic Quadrant for Disaster
        Recovery-as-a-Service as well as included Unitrends in their 2017 Magic
        Quadrant for Backup - Unitrends being the only company to have the same
        products recognized in both Quadrants. Unitrends was also featured in

        perfect 9 for 9 rating on our IT Resilience capabilities.

    --  Unitrends announced several new alliances. Nutanix, a leader in
        hyperconverged infrastructure and Unitrends announced integration and
