CA Tech simplifies Data Protection for Linux

CA Technologies has announced CA ARCserve D2D for Linux, providing fast, simple data protection and disaster recovery for businesses running virtual and physical servers on the popular open-source platform.

An image-based solution, CA ARCserve D2D for Linux helps organizations protect the integrity and availability of critical systems, applications and data within their shrinking backup windows.  It complements CA ARCserve D2D for Microsoft Windows, providing a complete solution for today’s heterogeneous environments.

CA ARCserve D2D for Linux provides fast and frequent backups, which offer flexible recovery options to reduce business downtime and support fast recovery time objectives. In addition, built-in data security supports diverse compliance requirements.

Steve Fairbanks, Vice-President, Product Delivery, Data Management, CA Technologies, said, “IT has to aggressively reduce the amount of time and effort they spend protecting mission-critical systems, including those powered by Linux. CA ARCserve empowers our customers to fulfil their most pressing recovery objectives with a single, cross-platform solution and licensing options tailored to achieve maximum return on investment.”

CA ARCserve data compression reduces backup-related storage requirements and costs. Unattended bare-metal recovery enables systems to quickly and easily be restored to similar or dissimilar physical or virtual servers – giving customers much greater flexibility when it comes to recovery infrastructure.  Granular recovery allows individual file restoration from any recovery point image.

CA ARCserve D2D for Linux supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x and 6.x, as well as CentOS 5.x and 6.x. CA ARCserve backup, replication and high availability solutions also support Linux.
