ScaleMatrix Extends OEM Partnership With CA

ScaleMatrix, Inc., in colocation, data center and private cloud hosting technology, has signed an OEM agreement with CA Technologies to distribute and support CA ARCserve products in North America, extending an ongoing relationship between the two companies.
 
Under the new agreement, ScaleMatrix will leverage ARCserve technology to deliver an enterprise backup solution available for both on-premise deployment and as an appliance-based service running in CA AppLogic clouds.
 
The cloud appliance offers compelling value to service providers seeking to add data protection to their SaaS portfolios.
 
ScaleMatrix will also provide customers with expert technical support for their ARCserve deployments.
 
"Companies of all sizes are increasingly looking to cloud-based backup solutions to effectively and efficiently protect their critical business data," said David Shepard, ScaleMatrix’s Director of Channel Sales. "Our new, deeper collaboration with CA Technologies enables us to provide our customers with best-of-breed data protection in whatever form best suits their current and future needs."
 
ScaleMatrix has put together a team of ARCserve specialists to bring these offerings to market. In addition, the company’s range of complementary solutions and services makes it the partner for customers seeking to optimize data protection.
 
"ScaleMatrix’s comprehensive understanding of the computing requirements of both enterprise and SMB and Enterprise customers make it a great choice for companies facing an explosion in the volume of data they need to protect – while the resources they can afford to allocate to that protection remain relatively limited," said David Roberts, vice president of the Americas for Data Management at CA Technologies.  "We look forward to working closely with them to meet the needs of our expanding installed base of CA ARCserve customers."
 
ScaleMatrix is leveraging its involvement in the Cloud Commons ecosystem to deliver and support these new offerings.
 
ScaleMatrix chose the Dell 510 series as the basis for the appliance offering recently announced. Dell’s worldwide support apparatus will enable ScaleMatrix to deliver a tier one hardware platform supporting the software solution.
