ISLANDIA, N.Y., Sept. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies
today announced support for VMware customers considering an upgrade
to VMware vSphere® 5. Companies can ease their migration to
VMware vSphere 5 by using CA Virtual Placement and Balancing, a new
solution that helps consolidate virtual machines, hosts and
clusters for decreased upgrade costs and streamlined
operations.
VSphere 5 allows VMware customers to take advantage of more
computing capacity and memory in their virtual environments. This
is an opportunity for customers to get more economies of scale from
their virtualization investments.
"It's important for customers to use current capacity as
efficiently as possible to maximize their virtualization
investment," said Roger Pilc,
general manager, Virtualization and Automation, CA Technologies.
"Consolidating workloads and designing clusters for performance is
difficult; CA Technologies automates the process using unique,
predictive analytics. This is important to customers either
consolidating their workloads or migrating to a new
environment."
Customers who plan to upgrade to VMware vSphere 5 stand to
benefit from consolidating their virtual machines, hosts and
clusters, as this will help optimize the cost; however they cannot
predict how their hosts and workloads will perform through
consolidation.
CA Virtual Placement and Balancing uses advanced predictive
analytics designed to accurately project how resources will be
affected as transaction volumes or other circumstances change.
Using these predictions, the solution automatically produces a
prescription for configuration of the virtual landscape.
"CA Virtual Placement and Balancing helps customers safely
consolidate and rebalance their virtual environments as they
prepare for a successful and economical migration to VMware vSphere
5," added Pilc. "The solution identifies over- and under-utilized
resources, and prescribes specific changes to optimize the use of
existing resources. It also helps automate design and configuration
of virtual clusters, a very difficult and time consuming
effort."
CA Virtual Placement and Balancing is generally available from
CA Technologies and its channel partners. For more information
