CA Integrates Amazon Web Services

CA
Technologies
Inc.
is offering management and governance capabilities powered by Amazon
Web
Services.

Enterprise customers
rely on CA solutions – including Automation Suite for Clouds,
Application Performance Management, Nimsoft Cloud Monitor and
ARCserve – to manage, monitor and protect applications and services
running on AWS.

At the AWS re:
Invent customer and partner conference in Las Vegas, NV, the company
unveiled solutions developed on AWS within CA Automation Suite for
Clouds. With this integration, customers can streamline and govern
the provisioning of AWS services, allowing them to move workloads to
the cloud. This enables customers to realise faster time to value for
cloud deployments and better agility as their resource needs change.

"While
enterprises are moving computing resources to third-party cloud
service providers to give them increased flexibility, scalability and
responsiveness in meeting rapidly changing business demands; CIOs
have been slower to consider cloud environments for their
business-critical applications because of perceived concerns about
the ability to manage or govern those resources,"
said Roger Pilc, GM, Industries, Solutions and Alliances, CA. "With
our offerings developed on AWS, we’re helping to remove some of those
barriers, giving enterprises the management, monitoring and
governance capabilities they are accustomed to using in their
on-premise systems and cloud environments."

"As
we work closely with our enterprise customers, we understand that
they are looking for a wide range of options to manage and govern
their applications, services and resources on AWS,"
said Terry Wise, head of WW Partner Ecosystem, Amazon Web
Services. "Many
enterprise customers already use CA Technologies solutions on
premise, and by enabling these customers to extend these capabilities
to AWS, enterprises are able to deploy critical workloads in the
cloud while maintaining similar operational and governance frameworks
that they do on premise."

to quickly deploy important work loads,"
said Darren House, technologist, GTSI
Corp.
"The
self-service capability will reduce the burden for our customers,
allowing them to focus on strategic initiatives and on driving
innovation, while maintaining governance processes for compliance and
audits."
