This innovative all-in-one storage package includes BrightStor Enterprise Backup and BrightStor SRM / SAN Manager prescribed a premium assessment report for clients' storage infrastructure and expertise consultancy to help enterprises balance the value of data with the cost of protecting it.

Based on the latest visions of "Storage Efficiency" and "Risk Mitigation to Storage", CA Hong Kong provides a FlexSelect Licensing subscription for customers to deploy the Jump-Start suite, which include a BrightStor Enterprise Backup 10.5 with client agent for UNIX, Windows NT/2000, Open Files, and Options for Database Messaging Application.

Mr. SC Pang, Managing Director of Computer Associates Hong Kong said, "This offer combines the effort of protecting your data assets and how to manage storage efficiently and effectively. Through our flexible licensing model, we believe enterprises can enjoy a faster Return-On-Investment (ROI) from storage without over-protecting or under-protecting them."

"It's a simple concept of Storage, but too complicated for enterprises without the right tools to carry out," Ms. Agnes Wan, Marketing Director of Greater China, CA said. "Today companies in every business see the value of data assets and position storage backup as the core part of its business continuity plan. They will not sacrifice the high reliability and availability of data to limited resources. However, under the pressure of budget constraints, they have to take a better approach and control of IT spending. CA believes that this package can give most IT departments a well-justified storage solution for immediate roll-out."

CA Hong Kong has summarized the visions and solutions into a three-step process of storage. First, understand the data value.
