Delivering on CA`s vision for "Managing Storage Without Boundaries," BrightStor Portal provides users with consolidated access to their diverse storage resources, storage management applications and critical information about their distributed storage operations. Its easily configured browser interface gives administrators real-time access and control of all of their networked storage resources regardless of platform, vendor or operating system.
"With the availability of BrightStor Portal, CA has delivered a foundational component of the true enterprise storage automation that enterprise customers require to reap the full potential business value from their massive investments in storage technology," said Gary McGuire, senior vice president for Marketing and Partner Solutions for BrightStor.
"BrightStor Portal provides the adaptable command-and-control capabilities necessary to effectively manage even the most complex, heterogeneous storage environments, and will serve as the vehicle through which CA can deliver further advanced storage management capabilities such as storage automation and provisioning."
Integration with leading software and hardware products enables BrightStor Portal to consolidate storage management tasks, thereby streamlining daily operations and improving management decision-making. CA iSponsor/iGateway technology provides ready integration with leading storage solutions from Network Appliance, StoreAge, CacheWare, and LXI, among others, as well as CA`s own BrightStor storage management applications - including BrightStor Enterprise Backup, BrightStor ARCserve Backup, BrightStor SRM and BrightStor SAN Manager.
"We are committed to supporting our business` aggressive growth plan through our centralised technology management strategy. Critical to this strategy is a robust portal-based environment for the management of our tools and resources," said Jim Barry, CIO for the Boston Bank of Commerce. "CA`s BrightStor Portal delivers such an environment for the ever-increasing size and complexity of the data and storage needs of our enterprise."
