CA Technologies Helps Customers Improve Storage
Management Operations and Slash Data Center Storage Costs to
Pennies per Gig
AWS re:Invent -- CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced
the general availability of groundbreaking technology designed to
help customers drive down the cost of storing data processed on IBM
System z by backing up the data and archiving it to the cloud.
CA Cloud Storage for System z, when used with Amazon Web
Services (AWS) cloud storage and the Riverbed® Whitewater® cloud
storage appliance, helps customers lower storage costs to pennies
per gigabyte (GB). In addition, disaster recovery readiness is
improved and AWS cloud storage is accessed without changing the
existing backup infrastructure.
“Increasing data center costs around storage is a substantial
pain point for our System z customers as the drive toward big data
continues,” said Michael Madden, general manager, Mainframe, CA
Technologies. “This innovation not only shrinks data storage costs
and eliminates expensive, purpose-built robots and disks, it also
delivers the elastic capacity and flexibility the dynamic data
center demands to respond to business needs across the
enterprise.”
Riverbed Whitewater is a purpose-built storage appliance that
helps seamlessly integrate cloud storage infrastructures to
securely deliver instant recovery and cost-effective storage for
backup and archive data. By using CA Cloud Storage for System z and
the Riverbed Whitewater appliance, customers can back up IBM System
z storage data to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), a
highly durable storage infrastructure designed for mission-critical
and primary data storage, or to Amazon Glacier, an extremely
low-cost storage service for which retrieval times of several hours
are suitable. Both services are highly secure and scalable and
designed for 99.999999999 percent durability.
“As we deploy CA Cloud Storage for System z with offerings from
AWS and Riverbed, we will get a scalable and comprehensive solution
that will reduce the cost of our own backups. In
addition, we can achieve other benefits of elastic
storage which will allow for an improved disaster recovery
posture and for faster response to business needs without
having to depend on offsite tape recalls,” said Mark Behrje, Global
Information Services, CA Technologies.
“This is a great demonstration of innovation and cross ecosystem
collaboration. Customers who combine CA Technologies and Riverbed
offerings can couple their legacy mainframe environments with AWS.
We are thrilled to see the high value of these combined
technologies delivered to our customers,” said Brian Matsubara,
Head of Global Technology Alliances, AWS. “Customers who pair CA
Technologies System z storage technology with AWS services can
benefit from the performance, durability and cost efficiencies of
the cloud.”
CA Cloud Storage for System z is designed to:
- Cut storage costs by taking advantage
of the efficiencies AWS offers such as capacity on demand and
reduced dependency on storage media.
- Speed ability to access, store,
retrieve and recover storage data, increasing velocity to seconds
from the hours or days physical media recovery can take.
- Reduce data center risk by storing data
securely off-site, while addressing regulatory guidelines for
long-term data retention.
Seamlessly operate with current applications that store and
retrieve data without programming changes.
Automatically reduce storage size and network bandwidth
requirements with powerful de-duplication algorithms and the number
of bytes sent into the cloud.
“Reducing operational burden while improving backup durability
and recovery options will ease the minds of mainframe customers as
they transition to cloud storage,” said John Martin, senior vice
president and general manager, Storage Delivery, Riverbed. “By
leveraging Riverbed Whitewater, organizations can pay up to 30
times less on cloud storage fees while gaining the ability to
recover data in minutes instead of hours or days.”
“We just helped install CA Cloud Storage for System z with a
large energy company running two z10s in a GDPS sysplex,” said Tom
Amodio, president of Vicom Infinity. “It’s exciting to be able to
go into a customer shop and install a solution like this with so
little effort. It is also exciting to be part of a new technology
offering that provides IBM mainframe customers with simple and cost
effective technologies for moving their data offsite. This is
great example of the resiliency and flexibility of the System z
platform.”
