Caddy Tan, regional director, Arcserve APAC, said: “We have been reviewing our plans on how to maximize the potential of this key regional market and decided a fresh approach was required in order-to take our business to the next level. A key component of this was to change our distribution set up to bolster our partner network and we quickly identified ACA Pacific as being the ideal distribution partner for us moving forward.

Since the spin-out from CA Technologies, Arcserve has enjoyed growth as an independent company. It first introduced Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP) in 2014 as a software to combine replication, HA and deduplication technologies in a single, unified solution. Shortly thereafter, the firm built out its portfolio with integrated appliance and cloud offerings to become an all-in-one data protection solution for cloud, virtual and physical environments.

It announced the release of Arcserve UDP to deliver continuous availability, instant recovery, enterprise storage array snapshot integration and enhanced protection for Linux environments. Its platform transforms data protection with a single solution that accelerates partner revenue opportunities and expands market reach.

Last month, Arcserve released its second-generation Unified Data Protection (UDP) Appliance series, a a cost-effective purpose-built backup appliance (PBBA) in the data protection industry. integrated with UDP software, the appliance series simplifies DR for small or overstretched IT teams that want a ‘set and forget,’ yet enterprise-grade data protection solution.

This release augments the company’s first-generation appliance offering, which underscored a 4,900% growth in sales over the past year. Combined, Arcserve offers 16 appliance models that make it suitable platform for organizations looking for a all-in-one data protection solution.

For partners and MSPs looking to expand their data protection portfolio, this release offers a breadth of storage capacity to meet the needs of any size organization. UDP Appliances are interoperable with existing UDP software deployments without the need for additional licenses, and are an all-in-one system for branch or decentralized offices or as the backup, deduplication, DR and cloud gateway appliance for primary locations. The UDP Appliance series will be available in early November.
