Time and time again, the old methods of identifying who you are have fallen prey to various attacks and breaches.

Simply having a login name and a password, even a strong password - one that doesn't contain words from the dictionary, and consists of upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special symbols like exclamation points, ampersands or other non-alphanumeric characters - is often no longer strong enough to prevent a breach. You could have an incredibly strong password, but if the system that stores that password doesn't secure it properly, the password is no more effective in protecting your account as using the word 'password'.

Systems can store passwords in many different ways, in order of 'strength' from weakest to strongest: as plain text, as the output of a basic encryption method known as a one-way hash, adding a unique string to each password and encrypting that (known as a salted hash), or stretching a hash (a method of encrypting the output of an encrypted output of an encrypted output).

Our offerings, whether physical or virtual appliances, enable you to protect complex environments quickly and simply.  In short, at Unitrends it's our goal to offer shrink-wrapped enterprise-class data protection.

It's a whole lot easier to say this than to do it.    

Enterprise-class data protection means that we're agile in terms of adapting to a customer's environment.  This agility means that we support the heterogeneous environments of our customers with a single solution.  However, the desire to offer lower complexity (the "shrink-wrapped" piece of this) is often at odds with this kind of adaptability.

We saw this in 2012 with one of the major backup companies  that eliminated features and functions of its backup product and faced a huge customer backlash.  The trouble with what they did was not realizing that many of its customers want their data protection product to handle heterogeneous complexity while at the same time being as easy to use and simple as feasible (but not simpler!).
