About Arctera
Arctera keeps the world’s IT systems working. We can trust that our credit cards will work at the store, that power will be routed to our homes and that factories will produce our medications because those companies themselves trust Arctera.
Arctera is behind the scenes making sure that many of the biggest organizations in the world – and many of the smallest too – can face down ransomware attacks, natural disasters, and compliance challenges without missing a beat. We do this through the power of data and our flagship products, Insight, InfoScale and Backup Exec.
Illuminating data also helps our customers maintain personal privacy, reduce the environmental impact of data storage, and defend against illegal or immoral use of information.
It’s a task that continues to get more complex as data volumes surge. Every day, the world produces more data than it ever has before. And global digital transformation – and the arrival of the age of AI – has set the course for a new explosion in data creation.
Joining the Arctera team, you’ll be part of a group innovating to harness the opportunity of the latest technologies to protect the world’s critical infrastructure and to keep all our data safe.
