Yuruware, an Australian-based innovator of data protection technology for Amazon Web Services (AWS), has been acquired by Unitrends.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The multi-environment data protection and disaster recovery company acquired Yuruware from NICTA, Australia\u2019s Information and Communications Technology Research Centre.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unitrends will use Yuruware\u2019s technology to extend the company\u2019s core backup and disaster recovery offerings to third-party public clouds such as AWS, OpenStack and Microsoft Azure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unitrend chief strategy and technology officer Mark Campbell says the company\u2019s mission is to adapt data protection to its customers\u2019 environments rather than force them to conform to its offerings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYuruware\u2019s patented intellectual property, which enables us to offer customers the ultimate flexibility in data protection, is the latest example of our unwavering commitment to this philosophy,\u2019\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It will allow Unitrend customers to not only protect physical, virtual and converged systems in hybrid clouds, but to quickly recover their IT infrastructure in multiple environments as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NICTA CEO Hugh Durrant-Whyte says the acquisition is not only an investment in Australian talent but also and endorsement of the innovation of NICTA represents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloped over the past four years, this patent-protected technology connects different clouds and is a huge growth area for Australian businesses,\u2019\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe combination of NICTA\u2019s research and development expertise and Unitrends\u2019 25 years of experience in the data protection industry is a perfect match.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to following the continued success of Yuruware\u2019s technology across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unitrends CEO Mike Coney says the company\u2019s growth in the mid-market has been fuelled by its easy-to-use, unified data protection offering and outstanding customer support and the acquisition is a continuation of that strategy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOver the next few months you\u2019ll see and aggressive investment from Unitrends in big, public clouds, in addition to our long-standing commitment to our own private cloud offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
