New UEB
-
I just found out yesterday from Unitrends that they are coming out with a new way to deploy UEB in the next few days. Apparently they have been working on a UEB that you can install on your own hardware. So we have a new server that we use for our backups, it has a LTO 4 tape drive and about 10TB of storage. Perfect for this new UEB solution.
We do have a few questions about it and we are waiting on a response. We are wondering if this UEB will allow you to use the ssd cashing feature that their appliance uses to help improve performance. Also, we are wondering if Unitrends will work with AIX running on a Risc. I should find out the answers by the end of the week.

Stay tuned here on MangoLassi on this. We will be having a Unitrends MangoLassi day next Tuesday. There will be some live posting from SpiceWorld London by @scottalanmiller and I and there will be a few people to ask Technical questions of and a give away as well!

Awesome!

We will have a few more details later this week
-
will this release include HTML5 instead of flash?
@Minion-Queen will there be live streaming?
-
There will not be living streaming (but a play by play by me).
Unitrends has a launch that will be showcased at SpiceWorld London that we get to be a part of!

Now I'm getting excited!

AIX only exists on RISC. Power is the only AIX architecture that there is. Unitrends has "always" (as long as I've known them) supported AIX and I can't imagine that they would be dropping that, it is a major backup source. You can do AIX with Unitrends / UEB today.

Well, that is extremely informative and helpful.

I try. If you want to test the "old" UEB for AIX, I'm sure that @art_of_shred could answer any questions that you have about it.

We're glad to hear that you're so excited about this new option! The new deployment option will allow you to deploy on Linux instead of just VMware or Hyper-V, as we've offered for the last few years. If you've been around awhile, you may remember that when both hypervisors allowed for tape archiving,, UEB was tape compatible. Since neither seemed to be opening this up again, we developed the ability to deploy on Linux just to meet this need. Please let me know what questions you may have.

@KatieUnitrends I remember you from when I purchased from Unitrends at my old job. We talked on Spiceworks.
At this point, we are wondering what the price is going to be for this new version of UEB. Do you have a ballpark figure? Does it depend on how many devices we backup?

Traditionally UEB pricing has been based on storage amount, not host count.
-
@scottalanmiller Actually, we license UEB by protected TB or by protected resource, and it just depends on your environment as to which licensing option will fit your needs best.

@KatieUnitrends Any hints if there will be HTML5???
Also will the free version still be around with the new version. Just using it at home now.
-
There will be a special new free version available,which includes HTML5 - you can sign up for it here> http://go.unitrends.com/Freedom2015.
We will not be releaseing the HTML5 GUI in the appliances until later this year since we want to make sure that all the kinks are worked out first.
Please let me know what questions you may have.
