PR Newswire (US)
Global IT Management Leader Enables Customers to Rapidly Deploy New
and Existing Applications to Private and Public Clouds ISLANDIA,
N.Y., Feb. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA, Inc. (NASDAQ:CA) today
announced a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held 3Tera®,
Inc., a pioneer in cloud computing. 3Tera's AppLogic® offers an
innovative solution for building cloud services and deploying
complex enterprise-class applications to public and private clouds
using an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). Terms of the
agreement were not disclosed. With 3Tera -- which follows CA's
recent acquisitions of Cassatt, NetQoS and Oblicore -- CA continues
to aggressively expand its portfolio of solutions to manage cloud
computing as part of an integrated information technology
management program. 3Tera enables enterprises and service providers
to provision, deploy and scale public and private cloud computing
environments while maintaining full control, flexibility and
reliability. 3Tera also makes it easy for service providers to
offer application stacks on demand by adding applications to the
AppLogic catalog, where they can be deployed to a low-cost, shared
cloud infrastructure. 3Tera's customers include more than 80
enterprises and service providers globally, which use the cloud
computing technology to provide services to thousands of users.
"CIOs can use cloud computing to build and manage a new type of IT
'supply chain' across today's virtualized internal and external
technology infrastructure," said Chris O'Malley, executive vice
president of CA's Cloud Products & Solutions Business Line.
"3Tera technology is a powerful addition to the total solution CA
provides for optimizing these high-value supply chains -- from the
mainframe to the cloud." Rapid, Simplified Cloud Enablement Using
the intuitive GUI and drawing from a catalog of pre-configured
virtual server and software components, AppLogic simplifies the
design and deployment of composite applications as a single logical
entity in the cloud. By unifying application configuration,
application deployment, and a virtual server fabric -- functions
that are otherwise typically performed in a fragmented manner --
AppLogic helps reduce costs, improve productivity and increase
service quality. "3Tera eliminates the manual, error-prone tasks
that have historically hampered an organization's ability to deploy
IT services to the cloud," said Barry X Lynn, CEO of 3Tera. "As
part of CA, we can bring rapid and simple cloud enablement to a
dramatically larger group of customers, leveraging the thousands of
CA sales, services and support professionals." In addition to
AppLogic, 3Tera provides a cloud computing marketplace that allows
software vendors to provide developers with production-ready cloud
components and full applications that are available on a
pay-as-you-go basis. This greatly facilitates exchanges of value
between developers, service providers and customers. Integration
with Virtual and Physical Management Technologies By streamlining
cloud-based deployment of composite applications, 3Tera adds
significant new capabilities alongside CA's existing virtual and
physical infrastructure management functionality -- including that
provided by CA Spectrum Automation Manager, the CA Service
Assurance line of products, and the recently acquired assets of
Cassatt and Oblicore. CA plans to integrate AppLogic with these and
other key technologies to provide customers with a comprehensive
set of tools for delivering, managing and optimizing cloud
computing as part of overall enterprise IT environment. CA also
plans to extend support of 3Tera, which currently operates on the
Xen virtualization platform, to include both VMware ESX and
Microsoft Hyper-V(TM). "AppLogic is a software platform that helps
IT departments and service providers rapidly create and deploy
cloud applications," said Rachel Chalmers, research director at The
451 Group. "By adding this technology to its own strengths in IT
management, CA is offering an intriguing value proposition to
customers who want to both take advantage of the cloud's
adaptability and maintain rigorous control of the their virtual
service delivery infrastructure." To learn more about CA and cloud
