CA ARCserve

Programs of the CA ARCserve family help to try to obtain continuous data protection (Continuous Data Protection) and the increased availability of systems, applications and data on platforms Microsoft Windows, Linux and UNIX. Solutions provide practical lack of interruptions in work of physical and virtual server environments, including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer.

Packets of CA ARCserve Replication and CA ARCserve High Availability intended for more effective protection of the business systems and data are controlled via one console. Besides, the IT personnel can increase performance of the work and integrity of data of the enterprise.

Among key differences of new solutions of CA ARCserve there is a possibility of multithreaded replication. The specified technology accelerates replication of data in networks with a big delay between working and spare/duplicative servers.

The master of protection of the custom Custom Application Protection Wizard applications simplifies work of IT personnel and eliminates dependence on the non-standard scenarios written by users. At the expense of it the security of both serial, and custom applications increases. Both updated the product CA ARCserve show broad support of popular applications, offering the optimized protection of such products as Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Explorer 2010 SP1 and 7/8.

The Customer Conduit mechanism which integrates social networks and other Web 2.0 technologies for ensuring technical support via the Internet, processings of requests and discussion of problems in communities users became important feature of new versions of the products CA ARCserve. Customer Conduit is the integrated system for collecting, processing and fixing of all history of solutions of working tasks at the enterprise of the customer.

The products CA ARCserve Replication and CA ARCserve High Availability are optimal addition of any other solutions implementing periodic backup. Programs of the ARCserve series are used for copying of data on external platforms for the purpose of recovery of systems in emergency situations and also for the accelerated migration from physical on virtual servers. For the most important applications and data the packet of CA ARCserve High Availability offers additional resources of monitoring of servers and programs with function automatic and manual ("on clicking of the button") a bypass of failures. Thus permanent availability of servers, applications and data is provided.

CA ARCserve r16

The CA company released in September, 2011 the new version of the flagman solution for data protection of ArcServer r16 with support of hybrid model of data protection for virtual and physical servers. As one of the leading industrial solutions for protection and data recovery, CA ARCserve r16 provides such functions as hybrid backup in local and "cloud" storages, creation of images of a system on host machines, replication and automatic recovery after failures and also the mode of a so-called "virtual reserve" (virtual standby) which helps to accelerate data recovery through global networks. Also the structure of CA ARCserve r16 includes the new management console for management of all backup copies in local and cloud storages for physical and virtual servers. The new mechanism of licensing is based on the volume of the protected data now.

The new connectors ARCserve for work with "cloud" storages help to use local drives and "cloud" services like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Windows Azure and Eucalyptus as a uniform resource. These connectors provide remote data protection, archiving and failure recovery at deployment in public, private environments and also in the mode of a cold reserve. In the mode of "a cold reserve" (Cold standby) it is possible to use Amazon EC2 platform (Elastic Compute Cloud) for replication of the local environment in "cloud". Serves in such Amazon EC2 configuration Wednesday where the backup copies of systems ready to recovery on a case of local accident are stored.

One more new feature of CA ARCserve r16 provides data protection at the level of VMware vSphere host machines by copying of images of systems. For systems based on Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vSphere and Citrix XenServer the increased availability and complete replication of systems is provided. Function of "a virtual reserve" allows clients to automate converting of data from images in virtual disks of a format of VMware or Microsoft VHD (Virtual Hard Disk).

Also the packet of CA ARCserve r16 includes technology so-called "synthetic complete backup" (synthetic full backup) which provides fast data recovery, function of import of backup copies CA ARCserve D2D with transfer on a tape and also the improved scheduler and expanded means on work with tape carriers. The new version of CA ARCserve is closely integrated with the system of disk backup ARCserve D2D for creation of pictures of systems and pofaylovy archiving now.

As for ARCserve D2D technology, the CA company considerably expanded its opportunities, having added protection for desktop PCs and notebooks with data encryption on an algorithm of AES with key length of 256 bits. Also in ARCserve D2D recovery of mailboxes for Exchange-servers and also regulation of bandwidth for optimal data transmission through global networks and the Internet is implemented now. Among other improvements in products of the CA ARCserve r16 D2D series it is worth noticing centralized operation and reports and also backup of virtual machines directly on host machines and the mode of a virtual reserve.

In solutions of the increased availability of CA ARCserve Replication & High Availability 128-bit SSL enciphering and support of failover clusters of Windows Failover Cluster is added.
