"Enterprises cannot afford any interruptions to business continuity caused by system failures especially considering the expansion of business in the Middle East," said Kevin Naddaf, country manager for Gulf and Pakistan at CA. "Corporations are naturally becoming concerned with ensuring the protection and recoverability of critical information that drives their business."

Another hot topic in network management today is managing network convergence. In the Network Convergence sessions, CA will bring together leading specialists in network convergence to identify the key challenges and discuss the latest solutions for the deployment and management of a converged network. The Network and Voice Management roadshow will make stops in the cities of Riyadh on February 5th, Khobar on February 6th, Amman on February 11th, and Muscat on March 2nd.

The month-long roadshow provides a forum for CA, its customers and its partners in the Middle East to express their continued commitment to providing enterprises with more choice in the way IT is managed and to assist in facing the challenges of today and tomorrow.

CA serves the majority of the Fortune 1000 companies. Customers in the region include Banque Misr, Akzo Nobel, Arab Banking Corporation, Arab Financial Services, Bank of Beirut, Dubai International Financial Centre, Emirates Airlines, Hugo Boss, Saudi Arabian Airlines and many other organizations large and small.
