Tandberg Data's information storage solutions support the Microsoft Windows NT operating system and Novell NetWare, while other operating systems and databases are also supported by Tandberg tape storage products via Computer Associate International's management application options.

The company's Travan, SLR, and DLT information storage solutions bundled with Computer Associate's ARCserveIT Workgroup Edition for Windows NT and Single Server for NetWare are intended for small and medium size companies. These tape information storage solutions provide resellers with value and end users with price value, coupled with service and support.

All Tandberg Data ASA SLR and DLT information storage solutions bundled with CA's application also includes support for SLR and DLT autoloaders at no extra charge, which increases the value for customers. The partnership between Computer Associates International, Inc. and Tandberg Data will benefit resellers by providing joint marketing programs and channel activities by the two companies.

CA's ARCserveIT will ensure that users will be in control of the amount of corporate data that needs protection."
