Information technology (IT) management software company CA acquires the Israeli provider of continuous application availability solutions, XOsoft. CA did not disclose terms of the transaction. The acquisition enables CA to offer a complete recovery management solution that allows customers to minimize the risk of data loss, reduce the time spent on backups and expedite recovery of critical business services.

XOsoft's products provide uninterrupted access to all types of file and application servers—including Windows Servers, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, Microsoft IIS and Oracle—and allow instantaneous recovery from any type of disaster. CA plans to integrate XOsoft's products with BrightStor ARCserve Backup to deliver a complete solution for protecting and recovering critical applications. Using XOsoft's patented technology, CA also will develop a next-generation information protection platform to unify and simplify recovery operations.

"IT organizations need to ensure the availability and recoverability of email, database and other business applications across their storage infrastructure," said Bob Davis, senior vice president and general manager of CA's Storage Management business unit. "With this acquisition, CA is meeting customers' requirements for protecting, securing and quickly recovering critical applications and information from any location across the enterprise."

XOsoft was found in 1999 by Leonid Shtilman, CEO of XOsoft, who is joining CA as senior vice president of storage management software. Headquartered in Waltham, MA with offices in New York, California and Israel, XOsoft serves more than 1,600 customers in 42 countries.
