CA and Overland Storage develop joint data backup and recovery solution

Computer Associates and Overland Storage are to jointly market a new integrated solution for faster backup and recovery to their channel partners and end users.
The solution consists of Overland's REO SERIES R2000 backup and recovery acceleration appliance deployed with CA's BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11 for Windows software to enable high-speed ‘disk-to-disk-to-tape’ (D2D2T) backup and recovery.

Together, the technologies enable the simultaneous backup of multiple BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows servers to a REO appliance. Customers can now significantly reduce corporate-wide backup and restoration times, achieving up to a three-fold improvement in performance according to tests conducted by both companies. In addition, iSCSI technology gives customers Fibre Channel-class performance without the typical expense, complexity and administrative overhead.

"Customers are continually seeking ways to improve backup performance across their networks while simplifying media management at remote sites." said Nigel Turner, CA senior vice president of BrightStor solutions. "The combination of BrightStor ARCserve Backup and REO R2000 enables them to do just that - minimise backup windows and leverage existing investments in CA technology."
