ISLANDIA, N.Y., CA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CA) today announced that the readers of Network Computing named CA “Company of the Year,” and also honored CA ARCserve® Backup as “Product of the Year” for the second year in a row.

Presented annually, the Network Computing Awards recognize the companies, products and services that have most impressed the readers of the UK’s longest established computer networking publication. CA received the awards at a Network Computing Awards ceremony on March 4.

“It’s clear our readers feel that CA and its ARCserve Backup software stand out among competitors,” said Ray Smyth, editor for Network Computing. “We congratulate CA on achieving the level of excellence required to garner these top honors.”

These awards mark the second time in the past month CA and CA ARCserve Backup have been recognized by partners and the media for the quality and value of its programs and technology.
