ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at SHARE's
bi-annual user conference for enterprise technology professionals,
CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) announced an agreement with INNOVATION
Data Processing, a leading Linux storage management company, to
include the company's UPSTREAM for Linux on Z and UPSTREAM for z/OS
UNIX in its Linux on System z management offering.
INNOVATION Data Processing's products provide comprehensive,
easy-to-use data protection for Linux on System z and z/OS UNIX
environments, helping storage administrators to save time in
managing the backup, recovery and restoration of critical business
information.
"Data protection is a key area in which our customers need Linux
management tools," said Dayton
Semerjian, general manager, Mainframe, CA Technologies.
"We are offering powerful storage management solutions from
INNOVATION to help them simplify operations and fully leverage the
cost savings potential of Linux."
UPSTREAM also helps lower total cost of ownership by leveraging
existing z/OS systems and resources for Linux storage management.
With a choice of traditional mainframe and GUI browser interfaces,
UPSTREAM for Linux on Z helps save time by greatly simplifying and
automating data protection, and providing storage administrators
with a high degree of flexibility and reliability in backup/restore
and storage management.
UPSTREAM for z/OS UNIX allows z/OS storage managers to use their
mainframe expertise to centrally manage storage in hybrid mainframe
and distributed environments. It provides ad hoc and
automated, unattended backup/restore, file transfer and storage
management operations, allowing IT to leverage the strengths of
z/OS UNIX to manage Web serving, WebSphere, Lotus Domino and other
e-business applications.
"Reliable data protection for mainframe Linux and UNIX
applications is among the top concerns of business users," said
Thomas J. Meehan, vice president,
Advance Technology, INNOVATION Data Processing. "Partnering with CA
Technologies—a company that offers the broadest spectrum of some of
the most popular and easy to use mainframe software solutions
available today—is a significant step towards broadening the market
reach of our enterprise data protection technology, and adds
important capabilities that will enable customers to more
comfortably, efficiently and effectively improve business
resiliency."
UPSTREAM for Linux on Z and UPSTREAM for z/OS UNIX will be
available from CA Technologies in the fall.
