CA Technologies is introducing its first cloud backup solution to Microsoft Azure called CA ARCserve D2D On Demand. The solution addresses common customer concerns about cloud by providing fast restore times, optimizing costs through a subscription model, and ensuring data security both in transit and at rest in the cloud. It also aims to expand opportunities for channels through a non-disruptive, two-tier distribution and billing model.

It isn’t as simple as just private and/or public cloud. Cloud is an approach to delivery and consumption that is already taking many different forms both internally and externally. Large enterprises with your diverse business needs will take many of these paths at the same time. And whether it’s the business or IT that is leading each choice, we all know where the accountability will lie for making sure it all works together: IT.
So while from the inside of any given cloud you want standardization and uniformity, when you look out over the landscape of the cloud services your enterprise consumes, you will have to manage what CA calls - The New Heterogeneity.
Which means IT needs to be sure to ask the right questions, such as which applications do we move to which cloud models, and how do we prioritize that? Or how do we manage security and availability risks so we can take greater advantage of public clouds? This vendor lock in issue is very important because there are companies who say just buy our entire hardware and software stack and we’ll be you’re private cloud, or rent the entire data center from us, or, build everything on our cloud platform and it's like the Hotel California -- you can check in anytime you want but you can never leave. And ultimately the most important question is, beyond all the shiny new data centers and new public cloud technologies out there, is it coming together to solve a business need and is all of this working together for the benefit of the business?
Being able to answer these questions means having a broad view of cloud. Different platform vendors internally, different cloud vendors externally. You need to beware of any vendor that wants to create new silos with new cloud-only management approaches. Your existing management disciplines do not go away - they must be adapted, extended and optimized for this new heterogeneity.
MODEL – ASSEMBLE – AUTOMATE – MANAGE – SECURE - ASSURE
CA has been in this market since its inception, and we knew that the right cloud would enable us to innovate faster while leveraging our current expertise. ARCserve D2D is a revolutionary release of CA ARCserve.
Only vendor to provide a solution that spans the data protection spectrum. From simple file backup, and hot snapshot incrementals for DR, and HA; we’re able to address all levels of data protection. Solutions now cloud-enabled so that if you are now moving your data protection to the cloud or are looking to do so, you can be sure that CA ARCserve will work in a hybrid environment of mixed on prem and off prem assets such as tape, disk, virtual environments, and of course cloud.
We now have a unified data services architecture that is scalable and open which allows organizations, service providers and 3rd party software vendors to connect to and interoperate with CA ARCserve via web 2.0 services. This is powerful because our own CA ARCserve solutions interoperate in a very cohesive way. Since all the components of CA ARCserve are built on this architecture, they are modular and can easily be added to your data protection environment. This is key for when you are needing to bolster your protection, for instance if you are using ARCserve backup and D2D now and needing to add replication and high availability, you can simply introduce it into the data protection scheme.
To add to that, we offer licensing that makes it very easy to get started. 1 sku. 1 license and you have access to all the components of CA ARCserve. There is no hassle in having to count licenses or servers, because our Managed capacity program allows you to license ARCserve based on the TBs of data you are protecting. No other vendor can offer you so much under one sku.
CA ARCserve (and previously XOSoft) brands are well established globally
Longstanding CA-MSFT marketing collaboration
Balancing act to treat all three criteria equally – and build RTM that are non disruptive to current relationships between buyer and sellers:
↑ Speed: through virtualization and automation to reduce cycle time for reliable application delivery
How long will it take to get my data back in the case of disaster?
Can I recover my data from anywhere & anytime?
↓ Risk: by delivering security and visibility for services that are obtained to, for and from the cloud
Secure in transit; secure at rest?
↓ Cost: by leveraging the use of existing and new assets to optimize the cost structure and drive utilization rates (SaaS vs. upfront)
<-> Distribution: Ideal solution for MSPs seeking to include turnkey data protection offerings in their cloud services portfolios. Handle usage reporting and billing for MSPs re-selling cloud backup - generating recurring revenue stream with minimal upfront investment.
Bridging the channel gap b/t SMB and the cloud is breaking new ground. Legal and logistics are complex. True innovation from both hybrid protection and a portal allowing SMB’s to order through their existing reseller. CA believes its IP creates barriers to entry while delivering a unique value prop to the market.
Also creates demand from resellers new to Azure .
Offsite data storage is important for protecting organizations against local disasters, such as fires or floods.
Offering complete yet cost-effective data protection solutions for customers and their dynamic environments increasingly involves both on-premise and cloud; physical and virtual, etc.
Hybrid data protection for your physical and virtual servers, desktops and laptops.
Integrated with Microsoft Windows Azure for cloud storage and archiving – now available in a monthly subscription SaaS solution with billing from a single vendor.
Integrated access to Cloud storage for DR
Backup throttling to better manage backups across the network
Granular mailbox recovery for Exchange servers
Bare-Metal Recovery from on-site backups being streamed to cloud
Pooled Storage shared across machines

In recent surveys, CIOs communicated some top concerns when considering to move to the cloud.
These concerns were:
Risk
They want to know if their information is truly protected when it is transported and stored in a cloud environment.
Cost
How much is this going to cost me? How do I manage my costs when going to the cloud. How much can I save by leveraging cloud technologies? But on the other hand, how can I get transparency and be able to have complete visibility and foresight as to the costs associated with cloud computing charges.
Time
They must keep their business up and running at all times. They cannot afford any hiccups and must know that their IT staff can effectively “do more with less” without compromising business uptime.
The key thing here is that they must focus on all 3 of these criteria equally. For example, if you just focus on time, you may end up spending too much and negating the advantages that faster service delivery brings to your organization. If you just focus on risk, you may not be able to meet the time demands of the organization.
Our solutions and capabilities can help you apply the proper emphasis on all 3 criteria equally and in doing so, optimize the delivery of business services to your customers.
