Overview
Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP) is a backup and recovery product for on-premises, virtual and cloud environments managed from one console[30]. Arcserve states that it has 50,000 customers and 10,000 partners and supports more than 300 platforms, systems and applications[31]. For disaster recovery UDP provides local and remote virtual standby, which keeps a bootable copy of protected machines ready on a standby host, along with instant VM recovery and bare-metal recovery[30]. It protects VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV and Proxmox both with and without agents, and adds automated recovery testing that checks RTO and RPO and produces audit-ready validation, AI-based anomaly detection and global deduplication[30]. Arcserve also sells Disaster Recovery Runbooks, Replication and High Availability, and UDP Cloud Hybrid as separate products[31]. UDP comes in Standard, Advanced and Premium editions, and Arcserve’s Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suites include a Premium licence with cloud-based immutable storage[30]. Prices are not published, and the company’s site does not state its headquarters or ownership.
