CAi's Disaster Recovery & Restoration (DRR) program was developed as a true “business continuance” solution for current CAi clients utilizing CAi's ERP business verticals (Seasoft, Ponderosa, JMAS, and ProVisions).  If you are not utilizing a CAi ERP solution and are looking for a Disaster & Recovery Solution for your business, CAi can assist you with our Netstorage off-site backup solution.

Business Continuance vs. Traditional Tape Backup

In the aftermath of recent natural disasters around the world, many corporate executives have realized the importance of a sound business disaster plan for their company.  As a partner to your business, Computer Associates is well aware of the financial repercussions your business could face in the event of a business disaster.  We also understand that a business disaster can come from many sources other than the obvious natural disasters (i.e. tornados, hurricanes and floods).  In fact, a lengthy PC server failure or power outage could have similar consequences to your business cycle by cutting off access to your ERP software and other mission-critical PC applications.

While creating a tape backup of your entire network is a good practice, it unfortunately does not provide business continuance during the network failure, outage period, or network restoration process.  If your business operations are heavily dependent on your ERP software, your disaster plan should include a plan for business continuance.

NetStorage +DRR

In efforts of providing Business Continuance to our clients, Computer Associates has implemented NetStorage +DRR to ensure ERP accessibility and function in the event of a business disaster.  Your employees can continue the use of your ERP software, gain access to critical files and e-mail along with  other necessary applications during a disaster period to maintain the flow of your business cycle.

The NetStorage +DRR solution is comprised of several essential components together creating a complete business continuance plan in the event of a business disaster.
