ScaleMatrix Safeguards 100 Terabytes of Data and Continuity of Cloud Services with CA Technologies

CA ARCserve Forms the Basis of Managed Data Security Services That Uses Cloud Storage to Minimize Cost

ISLANDIA, N.Y., August 2, 2012 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced that ScaleMatrix, a colocation, private cloud hosting and managed services provider, is using CA ARCserve® to support its managed data security service that protects more than 100 terabytes of customer data for disaster recovery, business continuity and highly available business services.

ScaleMatrix offers cutting-edge IT solutions that enable organizations to reduce costs, increase agility and safeguard compliance.  The company’s customers – many from heavily regulated sectors such as finance, biomedical and government – demand exceptional data availability and service continuity.  The company needed a recovery management solution that would work across physical and virtual environments and a robust platform for simple cloud management.

“Our customers are under pressure to reduce IT spend while complying with regulations that impact the storage and management of data,” said James Heller, marketing director, ScaleMatrix.  “To help our customers meet these goals, we need to ensure that our services combine data and system high availability with efficiency and cost-effectiveness.”

The need for effective disaster recovery was highlighted last year when south Texas suffered a series of prolonged power outages.  “The incident acted as a wake-up call for many businesses, as it impacted their ability to continue operating,” said Heller.  “Four to six hours of downtime is manageable, but beyond this, organizations’ operations are significantly impacted.”

To ensure ScaleMatrix’s services would provide the business continuity demanded by its clients, the company needed to extend its disaster recovery capabilities while simplifying the provisioning and management of its private cloud services.

CA ARCserve forms the basis of a ScaleMatrix managed data security service that uses cloud storage to minimize costs. The company also uses the CA AppLogic® cloud platform to support its private cloud services.

“We selected the CA Technologies solutions as they are scalable, easy to configure and integrate, and require minimal support,” adds Heller.  “They enable us to help organizations bring new services to market faster, comply with regulations and get more from their IT budgets.”

ScaleMatrix’s data security managed service integrates CA ARCserve with cloud storage offerings and an appliance-based solution to provide robust data availability at an affordable cost.  The level of availability can be varied according to individual customer or system needs, from simple backup to high availability and various options in between.

In addition to its customer offerings, ScaleMatrix uses CA ARCserve to replicate its own systems and data between its San Diego and Texas datacenters – mitigating the impact of local events such as power outages or natural disasters.

In total, more than 100 terabytes of ScaleMatrix and customer data is protected across a wide range of systems.  Recovery time varies from up to a day for those customers using basic backup services, to microseconds for those with real-time replication and failover.

The CA AppLogic cloud platform allows ScaleMatrix to establish and scale services very quickly, maximizing profitability while meeting customer demand for scalable and highly available services.  ScaleMatrix has ‘wrapped’ a number of applications, including CA ARCserve, to create pre-defined services that can be provisioned with CA AppLogic’s drag and drop interface.

“The success of ScaleMatrix underscores the value that service providers get from partnering with CA Technologies to quickly bring new, scalable offerings to market,” said Steve Fairbanks, vice president, Data Management, CA Technologies.  “CA Technologies enables them to do exactly that with ARCserve and AppLogic, which deliver reliable data protection and simplify the provisioning and management of cloud services.”

CA Technologies Supports Innovative STEM Education at Citizen Schools

Boston, MA – July 30, 2012 – Citizen Schools, one of the nation’s leading education organizations, announced today it has received a $50,000 donation from CA Technologies, a leading IT management software and solutions company, to help fund science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for 1,350 students across six schools in Massachusetts.

Citizen Schools partners with middle schools across the country to expand the learning day for children in low-income communities through afterschool and expanded learning time programs. The organization mobilizes a second shift of afternoon educators, who provide academic support, leadership development, and "apprenticeships"—hands-on projects taught by volunteers from business and civic organizations.  The program plans to serve over 5,000 students and engage 4,000 volunteers in 8 states this upcoming school year.

“Through our support of Citizen Schools and their STEM education initiative, our goal is to help provide the tools teachers need to transform the lives of young people and encourage the development of future leaders in Information Technology,” said Erica Christensen, senior director, Community Affairs, CA Technologies. “We believe in making the most of every young person’s talent and potential, and through this partnership we aim to empower resource-constrained students and schools.”

The demand for professionals in the STEM fields is projected to dramatically outpace supply over the coming decades. The STEM field is expected to have nearly three million job openings by 2018, but the number of students graduating with a STEM degree has no anticipated change, according to a 2011 study featured in the journal Science Education.

“CA Technologies and Citizen Schools share a commitment to transform public education to help build a 21st century workforce. Hands-on projects and real-world challenges that engage students can orient them toward college and eventually, a career,” said Pat Kirby, Executive Director at Citizen Schools Massachusetts. “We rely on expert scientists, engineers, and technology professionals to teach apprenticeships that help improve student’s skills and interests in these areas.”

About Citizen Schools 

Citizen Schools is a leading national education initiative that partners with middle schools to expand the learning day for children in low-income communities across the country through afterschool and expanded learning time programs.

CA ARCserve r16 Beats Symantec Backup Exec 2012 in Head-to-Head Comparative Review

CA ARCserve r16 Beats Symantec Backup Exec 2012 in Head-to-Head Comparative Review

Earns Network Testing Labs World Class Award for Best Data Protection and Business Continuity, Significantly Outperforms in Every Category

ISLANDIA, July 30, 2012 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced that
CA ARCserve® has earned the Network Testing Labs (NTL) “World Class Award” for best data protection and business continuity by significantly outperforming  Symantec™ Backup Exec™ 2012 in every category of a recent comparative review.

The review reveals that CA ARCserve is more feature-complete and more reliable, costs less, scales better and is far easier to use.  It also supports more OS platforms, works with more virtual environments and cloud vendors, and integrates with more applications.  And it excels at providing maximum uptime and availability for critical servers and applications, according to the review, which was commissioned by CA Technologies and conducted by NTL, a leading independent technology research and product evaluation firm.

“In addition to an overall comparison, our test took a close look at the capabilities of CA ARCserve and Symantec Backup Exec around image-based backup, file-based backup, and replication/high availability,” said Barry Nance, president of Network Testing Labs, who has evaluated thousands of hardware and software products for publications like Computerworld, BYTE Magazine, Government Computer News, PC Magazine, Network Computing, and Network World.  “We recommend CA ARCserve without reservation, and if fact, use it in our own shop.”

The report revealed gaps in the Symantec feature set, stating that “Backup Exec 2012 lacks replication, Continuous Data Protection and High Availability capabilities” found in CA ARCserve, and that “Symantec’s recent substantial enhancements to Backup Exec 2012 fall short of CA ARCserve’s basic feature set.” 

The report states that Symantec charges extra for deduplication, archiving, Active Directory granular restore and synthetic full backup – features that CA Technologies includes in its basic product.

“Customers don’t want complex, hard-to-predict pricing as they put together the data protection solutions they need to protect their critical data,” said Steve Fairbanks, vice president, Data Management, CA Technologies. “With CA ARCserve r16, CA Technologies clearly delivers a very complete solution in a user-friendly package that offers coherent, predictable pricing.”

CA Clarity PPM Earns Strong Positive Rating From Leading Analyst Firm

CA Clarity PPM Earns Strong Positive Rating From Leading Analyst Firm

ISLANDIA, N.Y., July 5, 2012 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced that it has received a “strong positive” – the highest rating possible – in Gartner’s “MarketScope for Project and Portfolio Management Software Applications” report.*

This current Gartner evaluation analyzes on-premises and cloud-hosted PPM applications involving deployment of dedicated instances, either on-site or off-site, giving PPM customers complete control over their PPM investment, including customization, configuration and extension.

The report stated that, “Because cloud-hosted is not far removed from the traditional hosting of an on-premises instance of a PPM application, customers should expect deep levels of functionality, with the flexibility to customize, configure and extend the PPM product as they see fit. Customers can even choose to physically move their instance in-house with some degree of ease, if they so desire.”

CA Clarity™ Project and Portfolio Management (PPM), which can be deployed on-premises or as a service, supports both execution-level PPM customers and project portfolio-level PPM customers.

“We consider this recognition an acknowledgment of our work to help customers with their project and portfolio management goals,” said Lokesh Jindal, senior vice president, Service and Portfolio Management, CA Technologies. "We are committed to delivering on-premises and on-demand solutions that help our customers make better business decisions and maximize the returns on their investments in people and technology.”

In the report, Gartner assessed a number of factors for each vendor solution, including corporate and product strategy, solution capabilities, and customer experiences as well as pricing and consulting options.

CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst), the largest healthcare insurance provider in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S., uses CA Clarity PPM to track more than 150 projects with a total value of around $100 million.

“The key factors in our selection of CA Clarity PPM were its user-friendly interface, ability to track inter-dependencies between projects and integrations with Microsoft Project,” said Greg Miller, vice president, PMO, CareFirst. “We now have comprehensive visibility of all our permanent and contracted resources, complete with their skill sets and experience. Using CA Clarity PPM, we were able to identify that many of our contractors had only a small percentage of their time allocated. By eliminating roles that were not actually necessary for the business, we have been able to make cost savings of millions of dollars.”

Tata Steel Selects CA Technologies to Help Accelerate Innovation of New Steel Solutions and Drive Business Growth in Europe

Leading European Steel Producer Deploys CA Clarity PPM to Help Manage the Innovation Lifecycle, Increase Profitability, Drive Competitive Differentiation and Enhance Customer Satisfaction

ISLANDIA, NY and MORGES, Switzerland – June 19, 2012 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced that Tata Steel has chosen CA Technologies to help accelerate the innovation of new steel solutions to drive top-line growth.

The company, which supplies steel and related services to many demanding markets worldwide, will use the CA Clarity™ Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) to manage the entire new product and service lifecycle from innovation and product design through production and delivery. As a result, Tata Steel expects to achieve a structured approach to innovation which will help drive profitability and competitive differentiation, and enhance customer satisfaction.

“The PPM Solution will help us to more efficiently innovate to speed our products to market, build market share and better align with customer needs,” said Rene Kieft, manager, product development portfolio and IP strategy, strategic marketing, Tata Steel.

“Efficiency is not about cutting costs, but about using what you have the best way possible, getting the most out of resources and facilities. CA Clarity PPM will enable us to continue to innovate and adapt to customer demands.”

Tata Steel has been transforming its European operations into a more customer-focused organisation by realigning its internal resources to industry sectors such as automotive, lifting and excavating, energy and power, packaging, construction and rail. This new organisational structure enables Tata Steel to better support customers for success in their markets. By gaining better insight into customer needs and emerging market opportunities, Tata Steel can quickly innovate in ways that better drive company growth. 

CA Clarity PPM will be used to better manage this process. By overcoming silos of innovations that previously resided in each business unit, the PPM solution will help optimise Tata Steel’s time-to-value and return on investment, by aligning the portfolio of innovation initiatives with the steelmaker’s business strategy. Every possible innovation will come under the microscope, ranging from ways to expand and improve the quality and performance of the company’s steel products and related service to facilitating new products to be tested on an industrial scale, such as can making, automotive solutions, parts for lifting and excavating equipment and for various construction applications. 

“Using CA Technologies Project and Portfolio management solution will help us implement a structured process to our innovation, product design and development process,” said Kieft. “CA Clarity PPM will give us the right documents and data to aid the decision making process as well as a structured process to help reduce risk and keep the business focused on doing the right things well. We expect this to help to innovate with customers, get us to market faster and help control costs.”

CA Clarity PPM will provide Tata Steel with a single, unified “decision engine” which will capture and hold information about the portfolio of steel products and development projects, and the people and resources that support the innovation activities. This centralised decision engine will enable the company to prioritise the right opportunities, collaborate on developing the right products, and track and optimise the innovation portfolio at every stage. In the renewable energy market, for example, Tata Steel will be uniquely positioned to capture, prioritise and accelerate steel innovations used in the manufacture of wind farms.

”To meet increasing business demands from customers, organizations are using CA Technologies Business Service Innovation approach to help their CIOs, IT and business executives shift from simply maintaining their current portfolios to accelerating the delivery of new, transformative business services,” said Lokesh Jindal,  senior vice president, Service and Portfolio Management, CA Technologies. “By making better portfolio decisions, more closely aligning investments and enhancing collaborative decision-making,  Tata Steel will be able to drive business growth by reducing  innovation cycle times and keeping a rigorous focus on the customer.”
