CA Tackles Virtualization

ISLANDIA, N.Y. -- CA, Inc. (NASDAQ:CA) today announced 12 new and updated Enterprise IT Management products that will help enterprises and service providers gain increased business value from virtualized environments. CA’s solutions allow organizations to realize greater cost savings, efficiency and flexibility from virtualized computing environments through comprehensive capabilities for IT management, governance, automation and security.

“CA Enterprise IT Management customers can achieve a balance between control and business agility when managing virtualized resources and systems,” said Ajei Gopal, CA’s executive vice president of products and technology. “CA solutions build on the management capabilities within popular virtualization platforms, but then extend those with enterprise-class, heterogeneous management for improved overall business results.”

Enterprises are increasingly relying on virtualization, with 31 percent of operating system instances virtualized in 2008 and growing to 54 percent in 2010, according to an independent survey of hardware decision makers in North America and Europe, conducted Forrester Research, Inc.* By simplifying and automating the management of virtualized and physical environments, CA helps customers to reduce business risks and deploy virtualization more rapidly and confidently in their heterogeneous production environments. Unlike many other providers, CA has specifically architected its technology for virtualization, including solutions for infrastructure management, service management, application performance management, business-driven automation and security management.

“Enterprise customers building VMware-based virtualized infrastructures can achieve higher levels of cross-infrastructure visibility and automation with CA’s complementary management solutions,” said Shekar Ayyar, vice president, infrastructure alliances, VMware. “CA and VMware’s management solutions present a compelling combination for joint customers to maximize the return on their virtualization investments and enable further expansion of their virtual infrastructure.”
