COMPUTER ASSOCIATES: COMPUTER ASSOCIATES TEAMS WITH DELL TO DELIVER STORAGE AREA NETWORK SOLUTIONS FEB 24, 1999, M2 Communications - Computer Associates International. Inc. (CA) today announced that Dell Computer Corporation (Dell) has certified and will sell and support CA's ARCserveIT as part of its new PowerVault SAN solution - making ARCserveIT the first storage software product to achieve this distinction. This unique offering provides Windows NT users with an advanced storage solution of unmatched scalability, reliability and flexibility. CA's SAN management solution with Dell's PowerVault SAN hardware provides data protection for multiple servers sharing multiple libraries on a PowerVault SAN. "As a leading provider of SAN solutions for Windows NT and NetWare, CA has provided us with tremendous advantages in crafting our PowerVault solutions strategy." said Kevin Reinis, director of PowerVault marketing for Dell's Enterprise Systems Group. "ARCserveIT's feature set and outstanding performance characteristics will benefit our SAN solution customers as they seek to maximise their data protection level and leverage their existing IT investment. With the volume of data on distributed servers rising rapidly and with the business value of that data constantly increasing as well - corporate IT managers are looking to more effectively back up and restore data and enhance their protection of mission-critical information assets. Fibre Channel SANs fulfil these requirements by increasing throughput performance, centralising management of data from diverse sources. and offloading backup traffic from the corporate network. SANs also lower the cost of storage by enabling larger storage devices to be seen and shared by multiple applications. ARCserveIT's unmatched flexibility and scalability allows customers to share storage devices such as the Dell PowerVault 130T tape library among multiple servers. To increase performance, customers simply add another backup server to the loop. To increase capacity, they simply attach another tape library to the switch. No additional reconfiguration of the enterprise storage architecture is required. In addition to delivering a complete SAN hardware and software solution for Windows NT, Dell is providing complete customer care with comprehensive technical support services to help ensure successful deployment and optimum lone, term performance. "Dell's initiative and commitment to quality in building enterprise systems puts them in a great position to bring the benefits of SAN technology to corporate NT users," said Yogesh Gupta. CA senior vice president of product strategy. "With ARCserveIT as an integral part of the PowerVault SAN solution, Dell customers can reduce their deployment time. increase overall performance and lower their costs of ownership - resulting in much hi-her returns on their SAN investment and increased protection for their environment." CA and Dell, who have an existing OEM agreement, will continue to leverage their extensive research and work closely together to develop additional SAN hardware/software solutions. CA is also certifying the integration of Fibre Channel storage network devices into Unicenter TNG, providing discovery. representation. health and performance monitoring and management of storage network devices.
