In brief: CA, Storage OK virtualization pact

CA has announced a reseller agreement with StoreAge Networking Technologies to beef up the virtualization and data-protection capabilities of its BrightStor storage-management software suite. The pact enables CA to fill a hole in its storage-area network product portfolio, according to Eric Pitcher, vice president, product management for BrightStor at CA. Under the terms of the nonexclusive agreement, CA is to resell StoreAge's cross-platform Storage Virtualization Manager appliance and its family of Multi data-protection software with BrightStor. CA will offer StoreAge's SVM as a stand-alone product or bundled with BrightStor, Pitcher says.

Data-migration vendor PlateSpin last week added support for Microsoft's Virtual Server 2005 Release 2 and Symantec's LiveState 6.0 to its PowerConvert software. The company's technology supports migration of data, applications and operating systems in physical, virtual, blade or mixed environments. The software is used for server consolidation, disaster recovery, hardware migrations and data-center optimization and relocation. Version 5.2 of PowerConvert also features support for multisubnet and full duplex networks, new server-discovery tools and error reporting. PowerConvert 5.2 is available in three editions: Universal, Consolidation and Recovery.
