More than backup

April 2012 Information Security

Gone are the days when basic backup solutions were adequate. Today, companies are governed by strict service level agreements that demand faster backup and effortless recovery for systems, applications and data.

Juanita van Staden, AxizWorkgroup CA Product specialist says that organisations are looking for solutions that are cost effective and reduce complexity, management and maintenance. When deciding on a data protection and recovery solution organisations are looking to a faster, more efficient and reliable way to copy their data offsite and to the cloud.

“Data growth continues to be a significant challenge for enterprises as well as the increase in mobile offices,” she says. The increase in remote offices is resulting in data residing on different mediums and in different places. This creates a challenge in meeting SLA agreements, specifically relating to recovery time and availability schedules.

AxizWorkgroup is the sole distributor for CA Technologies. Van Staden says that the CA ARCserve Family of products provides a complete strategy to manage backup, recovery and availability across diverse platforms, applications and storage devices.

CA ARCserve Backup provides businesses with reliable data protection with centralised management. The product combines data deduplication, integrated backup copy to cloud storage, synthetic full backups, and granular restore of applications, infrastructure visualisation and archiving for both physical and virtual servers.

CA ARCserve D2D is a disk-based recovery product designed to provide a combination of fast, simple and reliable protection and recovery on both physical and virtual servers from local disk or off-premise cloud storage. The Web2.0 interface proactively feeds updates ensuring that companies can confidently meet and manage their recovery SLAs. Encryption capabilities keep data private regardless of where it resides and bandwidth throttling lets customers customise their backup performance to balance system usage during peak times.

CA ARCserve Replication provides continuous data protection, easy migration of data between servers and locations as well as between remote offices and a central site for backup and archiving. It includes LAN and WAN continuous and periodic replication for data protection onsite, offsite and in the Amazon Cloud.

CA ARCserve High Availability provides continuous system, application and data availability for Windows, Linux and Unix environments. Aiding in minimising system downtime on physical and virtual servers.
