Computer Associates International (CA) has announced that it received top honors in the backup software category for storage solutions in PC Week Asia`s Readers Choice Award 98.
Readers gave CA highest marks in features and technology, product quality and reliability, and technical and customer support categories, topping Seagate Software, Platinum Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Legato. The questionnaire was sent out to 22,700 readers in Asia who comprise decision makers in the planning, purchasing, implementing and managing of systems, peripherals and networks within their organisations.
The primary solution CA offers in this category is ARCserveIT, which automates traditional storage management tasks, lowers operating expenses, improves availability, and enables administrators to easily perform essential data protection routines. ARCserveIT allows IS to manage any aspect of the backup and restore operation anywhere on the network from one central location. ARCserveIT features tape and optical library support, tape RAID support, high-speed image backup, open file backup, backup to mainframes, disaster recovery, fibre channel support, online database and messaging application backup and heterogeneous client backup.
"Winning this award means a great deal to CA because it came from the readers themselves," says Mark Knight, CA Africa`s channel manager. "It is extremely gratifying to know that our products are highly regarded in the market and that we have thus far been able to achieve our goal of providing our customers with the highest quality software and service."
