Sell, Service, Market: Microsoft Dynamics CRM Solutions

The Situation

Like email, your CRM system is part of the lifeblood of your business and a key communication vehicle to customers and prospects. Without it, sales can’t sell, customer service can’t service and marketing can’t market. Whether it’s the result of human or software errors, hardware failures or natural disasters, you simply can’t afford downtime or related data loss associated with such an important application. 

The bottom line, today, simple backup and restore alone is no longer good enough.

The Response
CA ARCserve® Replication (formerly known as CA XOsoft™ Replication) and CA ARCserve High Availability (formerly known as CA XOsoft High Availability software) help you quickly recover from accidental and malicious data loss, as well as planned and unplanned outages and disasters, reducing eliminating the risk of downtime and keeping you connected to customers and prospects. The ARCserve Family of Products protects all Dynamics CRM components, including the web front end (WFE), SQL server and application. For Dynamics CRM, simple backup and restore alone is no longer good enough. In addition, CA ARCserve Replication and CA ARCserve High Availability products provide virtualized server support for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer.
