Sports Technology & Communications News from Around the World

Unitrends, which makes affordable, heterogeneous, vertically integrated, disk-based all-in-one data protection appliances, has announced that it supports Warrigxdor Sports data recovery and backup.

Warrigxdor Sports consists of Warrior Lacrosse and Warrior Hockey, who produce a full line of lacrosse and hockey equipment and apparel.

Warrior Sports was founded in the mid nineties, and it is widely recognized for its creative marketing and novel methods of promoting lacrosse and hockey team sports. The goal of Warren, Mich. is to promote the positive influence of lacrosse and hockey team sports on young players, which will help them, develop healthy lifestyles and winning attitudes.

In this dynamic world of sports equipment and apparel, there is no acceptance for error or delays that would result from IT outages or disasters. Warrior Sports had been increasingly dependent on its ERP application and related SQL databases for managing day-to-day business operations. With the passing away of paper-based work processes, something as simple as a corrupted Microsoft (News - Alert) Office file or deleted Excel spreadsheet could cause missed deadlines or lost productivity.

Warrior Sports could not afford to slow down its pace or deliver less than winner performance to its sports team customers. Hence this lead to the selection of the Unitrends backup appliance, which was initially implemented in 2005 with hardware refresh in 2009.

Murugappan Periyakaruppan, Senior System Administrator, Warrior Sports says that with Unitrends, Warrior Sports can continue its winning style, by equipping and motivating generations of young lacrosse and hockey players to achieve their goals. Warrior Sports enjoys the simplicity of Unitrends’ all-in-one disk-to-disk backup solution, with a DPU 2000 appliance which delivers the full suite of features.

Maria Ellison, senior vice president, support, Unitrends says that Unitrends is happy to provide Warrior Sports with the data protection which the company needs for their day-to-day data protection. He added that over the years, Warrior Sports has frequently recovered individual files, especially Excel spreadsheets. With Unitrends’ Rapid Recovery Console it’s a matter of few seconds compared to the hours and potentially days to recover from tape backup. He added that Unitrends is proud to provide solutions vital to the needs of Warrior Sports and their athletes.
