Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP)

Data protection capabilities that fit your organization. Simple. Flexible. Affordable.

What Is Arcserve UDP?

Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP) software is a comprehensive data resilience solution that helps organizations retain, back up, and recover data across a variety of on-premises and cloud environments. AI-enabled operations, a modern management experience, and broad multi-hypervisor support help reduce complexity and strengthen recovery confidence.

Why Choose UDP?

Protect organizational data and business systems and data from attacks or loss. Deliver increased data resilience through simplified operations across on-premises, virtual, and cloud platforms—managed through a unified console with deployment flexibility and AI-assisted guidance.

Secure Organizational Data

Prevent data loss and extended downtime by protecting cloud, on-premises, virtual, and hyperconverged workloads—all managed through a modern console interface with AI-enabled insights that help identify risks, interpret backup behavior, and guide remediation actions.

Restore Data Across Workloads

Restore faster with instant VM and bare-metal recovery (BMR), application-consistent backup, and orchestrated recovery workflows that define and automate recovery sequences across environments.

Minimize Downtime

Reduce organizational downtime from days to minutes, plus validate recovery time and point objectives (RTOs/RPOs) and service-level agreements (SLAs) with automated, repeatable recovery testing that generates audit-ready validation of recoverability.

Optimize Operations

Obtain management flexibility through a unified Arcserve Console, available as a cloud-based deployment or an on-premises instance with local control over operations, data, and governance requirements.

Support a Multi-Hypervisor Strategy

Protect workloads across VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, and Proxmox environments with agentless and agent-based options. Expanded platform support enables organizations to adopt or evaluate new hypervisors without introducing additional backup tools or operational complexity.

Flexible Cyber Resilient Storage Deployment

Define reusable recovery runbooks that automate how systems are restored, tested, and validated across cloud or hybrid environments. Scheduled testing and automated execution replace manual processes and help demonstrate recovery readiness with measurable results.

AI-Enabled Data Resilience

Smarter Data Protection With Greater Confidence

Arcserve UDP doesn't just protect your data—it learns from it. AI-enabled capabilities are embedded directly into backup and recovery workflows through the ArcGenie AI assistant, providing real-time insights, guided troubleshooting, and natural-language interaction with backup and recovery operations. No extra tools. No separate consoles. Intelligence built in.

AI-Powered Anomaly Detection

Use AI anomaly detection in UDP to learn what normal data change patterns look like for your environment. When backup behavior deviates from that baseline—unusual encryption activity, sudden mass deletions, abnormal change rates—UDP flags it before it becomes a recovery problem. Threats are caught inside the backup workflow, not after the fact.

Intelligent Support Bot

Interact with ArcGenie, an AI assistant embedded in the Arcserve Console that provides contextual answers, operational summaries, and step-by-step guidance for backup, recovery, and troubleshooting tasks.

How UDP Works

Enable unified management for your whole data protection infrastructure, from primary and remote sites to disaster recovery sites and the cloud.

Robust Primary Site Support

Secure Critical Organizational Data

Deliver a wide range of backup and restore capabilities, including instant VM and virtual standby to bare-metal recovery and tape backup.

Compatible with multiple hypervisors and storage options. Supported by global deduplication that significantly cuts required bandwidth and saves money.

Cloud-Agnostic Data Resilience

Use Cloud as the Source or as the Destination

Deep cloud integrations deliver ultimate flexibility with Arcserve UDP. Scale up and scale out in public and private clouds.

Install Arcserve UDP in Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, VMware, Wasabi, and more for cloud-to-cloud backup with deduplication.

Extended Secondary Site Support

Enable Data Resilience for Branches and Offices

Enable workstation and remote office protection, with support for P2P migration and the same flexible backup and restore options as your primary site for multiple workloads (cloud, virtual, physical, hyperconverged).

Reliable Disaster Recovery

Streamline Recovery Operations

Create a robust plan for disaster recovery, using Arcserve UDP as the technical backbone. Automated disaster recovery testing, remote virtual standby, NDMP backup, and other features help keep the organization up and running.
