ISLANDIA, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

CA Technologies (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 companys 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 them 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.An hour of downtime might be manageable for some, but beyond this, many organizations operations can be significantly impacted.

To ensure ScaleMatrixs 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.

ScaleMatrixs 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.
