Arcserve starts August as standalone company

Arcserve, formerly part of CA Technologies, began operations on August 1, 2014 as a standalone company following the completion of its sale to Marlin Equity Partners, a global investment firm with over US$3 billion of capital under management. Arcserve is headquartered in the US, and continues to conduct business and serve its 43,000 customers around the globe.

"In our recent fiscal year, we not only saw unprecedented growth, but we also launched a game-changing platform. Continuing our heritage as a very profitable organisation, our incremental investments in the business are positioning us to aggressively accelerate our growth,” said Mike Crest, CEO, Arcserve.

With a presence in over 50 countries and with more than 100 distribution partners, the newly independent Arcserve will maintain its focus on delivering unified data protection solutions to customers through its network of over 7,500 resellers and 700 managed services providers around the world.

“Our continued focus is to cut through the complexity and clutter in our customers’ data protection infrastructures and deliver complete, simple and cost effective solutions for virtual and physical systems,” continued Crest. “As an independent company, Arcserve will be more agile and entrepreneurial with accelerated investments and expanded market opportunities, allowing us to do more of what we do best – serve our customers with a single-minded purpose and drive the innovations that will help them achieve their goals.”

“As a result of the industry’s move to what IDC calls the 3rd computing platform – a new, more agile virtual infrastructure targeted to serve the needs of mobile, social, big data/analytics and cloud computing – data protection economics are driving the industry toward unified data protection platforms like Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP),” said Eric Burgener, Research Director, IDC’s Storage Practice. “Now that Arcserve is an independent entity, they will have more freedom to make targeted investments to accelerate their already double digit revenue growth over the last several years.”

Customers and partners around the globe have broadly welcomed the recent Arcserve updated brand image and Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP), its new platform. 
“Arcserve is 100% committed to our global network of distributors, resellers and service providers as a stand-alone company. We are looking forward to accelerating business opportunities and launching new programmes,” said Chris Ross, VP of Global Sales, Arcserve. 

“The new company's focus will enable us to further redefine the competitive landscape, leverage the successful introduction of Arcserve UDP, and aggressively challenge legacy niche and other complex solutions to provide a real alternative to end-users looking for enterprise class features delivered as a complete solution that is easy to deploy and manage.”

Arcserve is upbeat about the Asia Pacific region as well. “The Asia Pacific market for data protection is growing at an unprecedented pace. Under Arcserve, we will be more focused on our partners and customers, continue to build on our 100% channel strategy and delight our customers with innovative solutions, and look to expand our market reach and partner network further across the region. We will be more agile in our approach, more aggressive in our programmes and grow faster than ever before,” said James Forbes-May, VP of Sales for Arcserve.

Arcserve distributors in Asia Pacific include Express Data, Redington, and Ingram Micro, among others. The company said there are thousands of active customers in the region.
