2 The highest levels of SaaS service level assurance CA Arcot cloud data centers provide authentication and fraud and risk management to over 12,000 organizations and over 75 million users across the globe. Our cloud data centers are highly scalable, configurable and multi-tenant efficient. CA Arcot data centers are designed with maximum flexibility and resilience to meet your unique business requirements, regulations, and standards. Not all SaaS architectures are created equal. CA Arcot cloud offerings meet the highest level of SaaS standards for multi-tenant efficiency and scalability. CA Arcot data centers deliver consistent throughput, performance and resiliency by employing multi-tenancy in the inherent product architecture, implementing best practice management and security processes, and using leading edge technology, systems and software. Designed for privacy and resilience Multi-tenant CA Arcot has a comprehensive set of cloud security offerings for consumer or corporate access, enterprise and government portals, e-banking and e-commerce security. CA Arcot cloud solutions use a multi-tenant architecture that ensures and protects the privacy of your information. Nearly 12,000 customers run on a massively shared infrastructure, which creates economies of scale not possible with single-tenant applications or on-premises implementations. Highly customizable CA Arcot solutions maintain individually customizable instances in a multi-tenant environment. Customers can maintain these customizations over multiple releases. This obviates the need for expensive, prolonged and risky upgrades typical of onpremise software. Economies of scale Single-tenant systems have very poor scale economics. The amount of capital and operational expenditures are very high for single-tenant solutions. CA Arcot distributes this cost over a broad range of customers, while allowing each customer to preserve their value-added features, giving clients the best of individual ownership and shared tenancy at a compelling price point. Data center security and certification CA Technologies employs independent third party firms to audit our technology and processes. Our data centers are SAS 70 Type II audited and PCI DSS-compliant. In addition we have passed independent verifications for security and compliance by Visa, MasterCard, JCB and Ernst & Young. These certifications attest to the robustness of our cloud security across multiple dimensions application, network, and facilities. 2
