Storage Challenges Explosive growth in data Zero downtime requirement Dynamic environment Rapidly changing technologies Limited network bandwidth Storage Needs to be Managed Digitization of Records Increasing Value of Data Increasing 24x7 Remote Access & File Sharing Government Compliance (HIPAA, SOX) Even though companies now need to backup 10 times as much data as they did two years ago, their networks are still the same. 5

Simplified Pricing Program for CA ARCserve Backup
7
Some Questions First How much time does it take you to quote a backup deal? How many times do you have to ask for help to find the right part number from any backup vendor? How much money will you make if you can close more backup deals in less time? How many times have you had customers that needed to change their order due the fact he needed more or less of what he / she received in a quote or had in their environment? More close deals = more money, right? 7
8
Current Business Model All backup products are difficult to configure!!! Base product, options and agents sold per server Multiple SKUs to find what the customer needs Difficult to differentiate between product benefits Long sales process due to complexity of configuring and fine tuning of quotes to meet customer needs Slow revenue generation products Selling backup is difficult and it takes a lot of my time!!! 8
9
Objectives Of The New Simplified Pricing Simplify quoting and selling ARCserve Simplified quoting: greatly reduced number of SKUs Simplified selling: minimal product & configuration knowledge Reduced order complexity Shorter sales cycle Faster time to revenue! Higher average deal size Greater “value” to the customer Easier for CA Partner Representatives to make their numbers / revenue targets. 9

(SAP, Sharepoint, DPM, etc.) Simplified quoting: greatly reduced number of SKUs From Hundreds to only four Shorter sales cycle Faster quote generation Simpler to understand Faster time to revenue!!! Benefits For You 19

26
Competitive Upgrades >Competitive Upgrades are per e-mail, application, database and file server user have with competitive product. (Only sold with maintenance) >Same questions for competitive upgrade How many servers you want to upgrade? How many of them are application servers? How many of them are e-Mail servers? How many of them are Database servers? >4 SKUs for competitive upgrade From any competitors backup server or client agent to File Server Suite From any application Server to Application Server Suite From any Database Server to Database Server Suite From any e-Mail Server to e-Mail Server Suite 26
27
Handling Objections How many Licenses am I need to install for every suite? Just one, the license key opens all options and agents for that particular server I don’t need all of these Options in my server, why I should pay for them? Customers can add options and agents to the server when they need them without having to buy more at a later time, so they don’t have to worry about spending more in the near future I just want to add one component, why I have to buy all the suite? Customers who only need one component can still buy it trough the traditional pricing Do I have to update all my current ARCserve servers to use the new suites? No, customers who are adding more servers to their current r11.5 don’t need to upgrade they other servers, it’s the same product as the traditional pricing but easy to buy The suites have less functionality than the traditional pricing product? No, the product is the same and has all the functions and features included. It’s just enhanced to simplify the buying and licensing process 27
28
Upgrades to the simplified pricing >There are no upgrades from current ARCserve users to the simplified pricing model Current r11.5 customers –Product is the same so no need to upgrade current r11.5 installations –They can add new servers using the simplified pricing model Customers with Previous versions of ARCserve (v9, r11, r11.1) –No upgrades from older versions to the new simplified pricing –Customers can use regular upgrade SKUs for their environments or upgrade for free if they have current maintenance –They can add new servers using the simplified pricing model 28
29
Is It Recommended for Everyone? Recommended New customers Current customers who need to add more servers in their environment Current customers who need to implement high end options and agents Customers Backing with Windows based Back Up Servers X Not Recommended Current customers who only need to add one client server or one application –Traditional pricing is recommended Customers Backing up with Non Windows Back up Severs –Traditional pricing is recommended 29
30
Rules to consider No mix and match between traditional pricing and simplified pricing There are no client agents, everything is included in the file server Good for new customers who are thinking to change their backup solution Sold only with maintenance (1 or 3 Years Value or Enterprise Maintenance) No upgrades from Traditional to simplified pricing Same cost for virtual instances 30

36
Current Pricing Model Virtual Machines >Separate SKUs for Virtual Machines CA XOsoft r4.0 WANSync Exchange Standard with Assured Recovery Standard Server for Virtual machines >Virtual Servers/Machines: $2,000 per virtual machine. The first license should be calculated by using the appropriate pricing above and each additional license will be calculated at $2,000 @ for virtual machine 2 through N. Complicated Right? 36
