  • ARCAD Opens New Office in Singapore

    July 22, 2008 Alex Woodie

    ARCAD Software, aka “The Kilt People,” last week announced the opening of a new office in Singapore to serve the growing demand for its software in the Asia Pacific region. The new office is the latest indication of how the French company, which sells application lifecycle management tools (ALM), has been moving to expand the company and its sales.

    ARCAD develops a collection of ALM tools and assorted programmer utilities aimed at making life easier for System i application developers. Recently, the company has moved aggressively to fill the void for change management tools left when one of that market’s dominant players, SoftLanding Systems, was bought by Unicom Group and put into maintenance mode. ARCAD responded by opening a new office in SoftLanding’s old town, Peterborough, New Hampshire.

    The opening of the new ARCAD office in Singapore this month isn’t so much about moving to rapidly fill a void as it is building the foundation for long-term growth in the area. With many of the nations in the Asia Pacific region expanding economically and the higher rates of IT growth there, it made sense for ARCAD to establish a presence, which is what it has done.

    “Formalizing a local presence is a strategic decision to capitalize on emerging opportunities across the region,” says Philippe Magne, CEO and chairman of ARCAD, which is based in the foothills of the French Alps in a city called Annecy. “As a regional hub for Asia, Singapore is the ideal choice for the location of our Asia-Pacific headquarters.”

    ARCAD’s tools are a good fit for the types of companies that are moving into the region, Magne says. “In terms of growth, we are continually reviewing this region and other areas in which multi-national enterprises require multi-platform application management capabilities,” he says. “For these companies, our integrated, repository-based offering has a strong advantage.”

    What has yet to be decided is whether the dress code in Singapore will allow for “Casual Kilt Fridays” at the new office. ARCAD employees, including Magne, drew rave reviews for their tactical application of the native Scottish attire at the COMMON conference in Nashville, Tennessee, last March.

    Integrate Virtual Tape to Automate Your Backups And Strengthen Your Ability To Recover From Cyber Attacks And Disasters

    With most IT departments stretched thin, finding something that can quickly free up IT time is definitely a bonus. That’s why it’s important to stop and take a look at integrating virtual tape into your backup and recovery. Virtual tape is one of those technologies where once you have it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. See a demo and get a $50 gift card.

    But what is it about using virtual tape that makes it so worthwhile? Why is it that so many IBM i shops are already using or considering using virtual tape for all or part of their backup and recovery systems?

    Virtual tape and virtual tape libraries offer a way to both simplify and strengthen backup and recovery operations. By incorporating virtual tape technology, automation of backups becomes possible resulting in hundreds of hours saved annually for IT departments and personnel.

    “We needed to find a replacement that would lower the maintenance cost and reduce complexity of our backup and recovery functions without a major disruption to our operations.” David Fray, Director of Enterprise Systems, ABC Financial

    LaserVault ViTL is a virtual tape and tape library solution developed specifically for use with IBM Power Systems (from AS/400 to iSeries to Power 9s). With ViTL you can:

    • Replace physical tape and tape libraries and eliminate associated delays
    • Automate backup operations, including the ability to purge or archive backups
    • Remotely manage your backups – no need to be onsite with your server
    • Save backups to a dedupe appliance and the cloud
    • Recover your data at lightspeed greatly improving your ability to recover from cyberattacks
    • And so much more

    Sign-up now to see a ViTL online demo and get a $50 Amazon e-gift card when the demo is complete as our way of saying thanks for your time. Plus when you sign-up you’ll receive a free facts comparison sheet on using virtual tape vs tape so you can compare the functionality for yourself.
