Workgroup’s dedicated Computer Associates (CA) division has announced the immediate availability of CA Recovery Management 12.5.

It will include a new set of features for its Recovery Management 12.5 Suite, namely CA ARCserve Backup, CA XOsoft Replication and CA XOsoft High Availability.

“Data growth and the effective management thereof has always been top of mind with IT administrators and forward thinking executives,” says Ligia De Gouveia, CA product manager at Workgroup. “Today, businesses are looking for data management applications that offer high levels of protection, simplified management and high speed recovery as well as solid business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities.”

The combination of the solutions that form Recovery Management 12.5 allow organisations to safeguard data stored on diverse physical and virtual server environments, both locally and in remote offices, and to enable on-premise operational recovery and disaster recovery, as well as automated failover and failback from standby systems.

•    Agent deployment packages leverage a wizard-like application that lets users simultaneously install and upgrade CA ARCserve Backup agents on multiple remote hosts, so they can ensure that they are running the most current versions of all agents in their backup environment.
