Following on the heels of three other prestigious award wins in early Q4, Unitrends now celebrates a significant upward leap in its ranking on the annual Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list, which for more than 20 years has named the fastest growing public and private technology companies in North America. This year's award winners were selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth during the period from 2009 to 2013. Unitrends has achieved 23 consecutive quarters of remarkable growth and anticipates Q4 2014 to be the best performing quarter in the company's history.

Unitrends also received technology kudos this month for its new hybrid cloud Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering. Introduced in June 2014, Unitrends DRaaS is a first-of-its-kind, automated business continuity solution that guarantees full recovery of entire IT infrastructures in the cloud within hours of a declared disaster. It enables customers to perform on-site backups with instant recovery of physical and virtual environments and then continuously replicate their data, systems and applications to the cloud through the company's No Limits Cloud™ service.

The Best in Biz Awards named Unitrends DRaaS a silver winner in the "Best New Service of the Year" category. In its fourth year, Best in Biz is the only independent business awards program judged by members of the press and industry analysts. More than 550 award nominations were received this year in a variety of company, executive, team and product focused categories. Nominations were fielded from public and private companies of all sizes, from virtually every major industry and region in the U.S. and Canada.

Most recently, Unitrends DRaaS was recognized as a TMC 2014 Cloud Computing Magazine "Product of the Year" winner. The award honors vendors with the most innovative, useful and beneficial cloud products and services that have been brought to market in the past year. According to TMC, winning companies represent prominent players in the market who consistently demonstrate the advancement of technologies; each recipient is a verifiable leader in the marketplace.
