Until March 31, 2014 eligible businesses who replace a competitor's backup or disaster recovery software with CA ARCserve® can purchase an unlimited-use Managed Capacity license for their business for the next three years* - at a set price regardless of any organic growth in their storage requirements. At the end of the third year, customers can renew for the amount of data being protected at that time.
