Ground-breaking Unified Architecture Changes
Backup Landscape with Single, Comprehensive Assured Recovery
Solution
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today unveiled CA arcserve Unified
Data Protection (UDP), an easy-to-use solution providing
cost-effective backup and Assured Recovery® across mixed IT
environments – helping businesses boost the availability of
critical systems.
CA arcserve UDP is a transformative enhancement to the CA
arcserve data protection software portfolio and a uniquely
compelling alternative to the cost and complexity of deploying
multiple point solutions. A new unified architecture and recovery
point server drive a full range of highly efficient data protection
capabilities for physical and virtual environments through a
simple, web-based user console. CA arcserve UDP provides more than
30 new marquee features to give businesses and service providers
precise and flexible functionality to meet stringent service level
and recovery objectives.
“CA arcserve UDP is the most significant release of arcserve to
date. Architected from the ground up to deliver data protection
simplicity, CA arcserve UDP allows businesses to reduce complexity
and mitigate rising costs without sacrificing functionality. Simply
put, it renders ‘point solutions’ obsolete,” said Mike Crest,
general manager, Data Management, CA Technologies.
Ends Data Protection Complexity While Improving Cost &
Efficiency
CA arcserve UDP is designed with ease-of-use as a fundamental
requirement. A unified architecture and single web-based user
interface integrate unmatched data protection for virtual and
physical systems. CA arcserve UDP offers:
- Greater efficiency and quicker
time-to-value with a broad spectrum of enterprise-level
functionality – including image and file-based backup, tape
support, replication, and high availability – in one solution
- Workflow-based Protection Plans that
let users “dial in” the right level of protection within
minutes.
- Five solution editions that help
customers buy just the right level of protection
- Flexible pricing on a per-terabyte or
per-socket basis for physical and virtual systems
- A single solution for Microsoft
Windows, Linux and UNIX systems
"The concept of unified data protection brings significant value
to enterprises that are struggling to meet increasingly stringent
RPOs and RTOs across physical, virtual and cloud environments,"
said Eric Burgener, research director, Storage Practice, IDC.
"Economics will drive data protection consolidation as
administrators look to simplify how they handle backup, recovery,
and business continuity requirements in today's heterogeneous
world."
Comprehensive Functionality Replaces Limited Point
Solutions
At the heart of the unified CA arcserve UDP is the new resource
saving recovery point server (RPS), combining true global
source-side de-duplication, integrated block-level replication, AES
256-bit level encryption, and cascading retention policies. CA
arcserve UDP leverages the RPS and other technical advancements to
deliver:
- Extended virtual machine protection
with agent-less protection for VMware and now Microsoft Hyper-V™
environments
- Assured Recovery with local and virtual
remote standby and automated, non-disruptive disaster recovery
testing and reporting
- Continuous, full-system replication and
high availability for near-instant recovery of an entire system –
including business applications, files and data on both virtual and
physical systems
- Broad support of major cloud platforms
to allow easy recovery, migration or replication of complete
systems, applications or data from cloud to cloud
“Organizations must easily and efficiently keep up with rapid
data growth and manage a combined physical and virtual
infrastructure, but specialized data protection ‘point’ solutions
are often too limited in scope, and large-enterprise solutions can
be too unwieldy for many smaller businesses,” said David Fartouk,
Founder and CTO at Trust-IT Solutions, a provider of value-added
services in IT infrastructure, storage, backup and disaster
recovery planning based in Israel. “During testing, we were
particularly impressed by CA arcserve UDP’s centralized control and
task planning, its resource-saving deduplication and compression,
and its overall performance – all packaged in a solution that is
really unique to the market.”
Extends Business Opportunities for Service Providers
CA arcserve UDP is sold exclusively through a reseller channel
and ideally suited to MSPs building or adding disaster recovery and
business continuity to their offerings. It features:
- Documented APIs to ease integration
with third-party platforms
- JumpStart data seeding to accelerate
protection at remote sites
- MSP-designed reporting
- Specialized licensing programs and
resources on the MSP Zone website that speed time-to-value
“To meet the needs of our growing and increasingly demanding
customer base, speed and manageability are more important than ever
when it comes to handling our clients’ backups.” said Gary Haberl,
President of Lions Park Computers Ltd., a full-service network
administration company based in Calgary, Alberta. “Building on the
strengths of its heritage, CA ARCserve UDP delivers on those
requirements, proving to be extremely quick and easy to deploy
while providing a fast recovery method to get our clients back to
work quickly.”
