CA ARCserve® High Availability
Product Features

CA ARCserve High Availability r15 provides unique functionality, adds new application and platform support, and eases management through the following new features:

Full-System High Availability — Protects the Windows operating system, system state, application and data through physical to virtual and virtual to virtual replication and failover to a Microsoft Hyper-V replica server. The replica server can be offline to help eliminate operating system and application license fees to reduce DR costs.

Multiple Replication Types — Offers continuous, scheduled and ad-hoc replication to create a balance between resource utilization and the required level of protection.

Offline Synchronization — Provides an alternative to LAN and WAN synchronization to more easily transfer large Windows-based data sets and databases to speed replication without impacting network utilization. Allows physical transportation of a data copy while replication is under way and shortens time-to-protection.

Scenario Group Management — Provides the ability to group together scenarios for multiple machines to protect distributed platforms such as SharePoint, Web applications and document repositories. Allows server groups to failover together across the wide area network. Works with Windows, Linux and UNIX.

SharePoint Farm High Availability — Protects the entire SharePoint farm with individual server and farm-level replication and failover.


Microsoft Exchange 2010 Support — Provides LAN and WAN data replication, automated and pushbutton failover, Data Rewind for continuous data protection, and automated, non-disruptive recovery testing to protect an Exchange 2010 environment as well as older Exchange versions.

Enhanced Microsoft IIS Support — Provides protection for IIS Metadata that typically contains Web-site configuration information, through LAN and WAN replication, automated and pushbutton failover, Data Rewind for continuous data protection and automated, non-disruptive recovery testing, allowing for granular protection of individual Web sites.

Linux and UNIX High Availability — Offers LAN and WAN data replication, automated and pushbutton failover and pushbutton failback, with hard-links support to avoid unnecessary data replication.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM V4 Support — Provides LAN and WAN data replication, automated and pushbutton failover, Data Rewind for continuous data protection, and automated, non-disruptive recovery testing to protect a Dynamics CRM environment including the application role group, platform role group and SQL server database.

Application-aware LAN and WAN Optimized Replication — After the initial synchronization, only block-level changes to files and data are replicated. Application-aware means no custom scripting required for Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, IIS, and Dynamics CRM as well as for Oracle and Blackberry Enterprise Server. Works on Windows, Linux and UNIX systems running on physical and virtual servers.

Automated and Push-button Failover — Provides real-time server and application monitoring with automated and push-button failover - keeping employee and IT productivity high.

Assured Recovery Automated Recovery Testing — Ensures failover system is ready with no disruption to your production environment. Offers optional VSS Snapshot for application-consistent backups off the Replica server.

Data Rewind for Continuous Data Protection (CDP) — Allows quick and easy data rewind to known good points-in-time, after data loss or damage.

Unified, Centralized Management Console — Makes CA ARCserve High Availability easy to deploy and manage. Includes replication and failover for the management service itself.

No-Reboot Deployment and Maintenance — Eliminates disruption to the production environment.

Assessment Mode — Helps estimate LAN and WAN bandwidth needs without disrupting the production environment to minimize network costs.

VMware vCenter High Availability — Protects the VMware vCenter server application – critical for VMware environments.

Windows System State Protection — Replicates system state to speed server recovery.

Windows Registry Synchronization — Replicates designated registries to speed server and application recovery.

Physical and Virtual Server Support — Protects virtualized server environments (VMware, Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer) and allows use of virtualization to help reduce DR costs. Perfect tool for Physical to Virtual Server Migration too.

64-bit Platform Support — Allows for x86 to x64 replication and data migration.

Integrated with CA ARCserve® Backup — Enables VSS snapshot backup with a single job.

Technical Support and Upgrades — Included with your CA solution purchase is 24x7 online support, free product upgrades, access to technical documents, as well as telephone support and more depending on your specific terms and conditions.
