Ingram Micro is now offering CA Technologies’ CA ARCserve MSP Licensing Program 2.0 through the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace. The MSP program is designed to align CA ARCserve licensing with the revenue and invoicing models of MSPs and service providers. Ingram Micro partners also have access to CA ARCserve D2D On Demand, a SaaS offering that leverages Windows Azure to deliver end-to-end cloud-based data protection and disaster recovery.
The subscription-based per-terabyte licensing and pricing structure of the CA ARCserve MSP 2.0 program is designed to enable service providers to offer managed monthly data protection plans. The new licensing initiative gives MSPs the flexibilities to opt for per-server licensing where it might be more cost efficient.
The CA ARCserve D2D On Demand solution provides a web portal for partners to have full visibility into storage resources, usage, events, and subscription status, with turnkey usage reporting and billing capabilities. The new On Demand solution is available as a monthly or annual subscription that includes a full complement of local backup and recovery capabilities bundled with 25GB of Microsoft Windows Azure cloud storage per protected server/workstation. Additional cloud storage is available through the Ingram Micro Cloud.
