ISLANDIA, N.Y., July 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies
(NASDAQ: CA) today announced that StratITsphere, an IT consulting
and data center services provider, will use CA Technologies cloud
computing, energy management and service assurance solutions as the
backbone for Nimbus, its new package of cloud-based services, as
well as other offerings.
Nimbus was developed with and will be delivered on the CA
AppLogic® cloud platform and will include virtual private data
centers (VPDC) with full failover and disaster recovery
capabilities. StratITsphere's Fortune 1000 customers will be able
to access dynamically provisioned and secure cloud services,
providing agile and highly available infrastructures with a lower
capital investment than traditional computing solutions.
"The demand for our co-location and hosted services is exploding
as companies look to cloud computing to stretch every IT dollar as
far as possible," said Stephen
Webster, co-founder and CEO of StratITsphere. "CA
Technologies depth of experience made them the best software
partner to help us launch our new cloud offerings quickly, reduce
our energy costs, and manage our new data center with efficiency
and excellence."
StratITsphere plans to use CA ecoSoftware to enable customers in
its co-location facility to help lower their electricity costs and
to help make the entire facility more energy efficient. By being
able to see energy consumption patterns at the device and system
levels, StratITsphere can make adjustments to help improve its
power usage effectiveness (PUE) metric, a measure of how
efficiently the facility uses electricity. CA ecoSoftware also
allows StratITsphere to provide automatic billing to customers
based on real energy use, rather than relying on error-prone
estimates or time-consuming manual data collection.
To proactively manage the performance and availability of the
service delivery infrastructure, and to monitor the composition and
behavior of network traffic in real-time, StratITsphere relies on
CA Technologies Service Assurance portfolio, including CA eHealth®
Performance Manager, CA Spectrum® Infrastructure Manager and CA
NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer™ software.
"Innovative service providers like StratITsphere are wisely
taking advantage of vital synergies across CA Technologies
portfolio of solutions to expand their offerings and ultimately
grow their businesses," said Adam
Famularo, general manager, Cloud Strategy and Solutions, CA
Technologies. "With our cloud-ready solutions, service providers
can help their customers become more agile, extend IT management
across a range of environments, operate more efficiently, and give
them the power to use and provide cloud and traditional services
together."
Webster added, "Another key advantage of CA Technologies suite
of management products is that it interfaces well with other
management platforms, making it easier and faster to get customers
connected to StratITsphere's services."
StratITsphere provides data center services and IT
infrastructure and security advice to Fortune 1000 companies. The
company's data center facility in Houston, Texas is a Tier IV design, the
highest level of certification available, and provides customers
with access to mission-critical systems and data at all times.
