ISLANDIA, N.Y., Nov. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies
(NASDAQ: CA) today announced that ViaWest, one of the largest
privately owned data center and managed services providers in
North America, is using the CA
AppLogic® turnkey cloud platform and CA Process Automation as the
backbone of its new Xen-based KINECTed™ Cloud – Innovator
service.
Developed with and delivered on the CA AppLogic platform,
KINECTed™ Cloud – Innovator provides software developers with a
flexible, customizable and secure on-demand infrastructure with the
scalability, storage and computing power needed to build and test
new environments.
The new ViaWest service offering combines the CA AppLogic
platform, CA Process Automation, and an integrated
customer-accessible service catalog to deliver a comprehensive
packaged cloud solution. This enables ViaWest to:
- Quickly create, deploy and offer new business services through
the cloud;
- On-board new customers quickly and easily;
- Offer a Web-based front-end for self-service purchase and
delivery;
- Automate "pay-as-you-go" billing, cost allocations &
chargebacks; and
- Integrate back office functions for more efficient customer
management.
ViaWest customers benefit through access to Web-based
self-service ordering, automated configuration and deployment,
scalable, secure, and managed environments, and unique
customer-defined offerings based upon their specific
requirements.
KINECTed™ Cloud – Innovator complements ViaWest's hybrid
services portfolio, offering a comprehensive suite of solutions
from test/dev to production, and from managed services to
colocation, complex hosting and more.
"ViaWest chose the CA AppLogic platform and CA Process
Automation for KINECTed™ Cloud - Innovator because the solutions
allow us to deploy an IaaS cloud very quickly while also providing
the ability to easily add additional services at an attractive
price point," said Jason Carolan,
vice president of Product Development, ViaWest. "For customers
looking for a turnkey, yet sophisticated self-service user
experience, CA Technologies solutions satisfy that. Developers
enjoy the fact that the CA AppLogic platform allows them to become
more agile and operate more efficiently by quickly and easily
designing and testing complex applications with the exact
middleware and system configuration they will have in
production."
The CA AppLogic platform offers an application-centric approach
for delivering infrastructure, tools, applications and virtual data
centers in the cloud. Service providers can use the platform to add
new services — driving new revenue — independent of hypervisor
technology—with dramatic speed, flexibility and choice. The CA
AppLogic platform sets a new standard for fast business service
creation with support for multiple hypervisors in the same grid,
including VMware ESX and Xen. This enables service providers to
address more customers and architectures, and allows enterprises to
protect their investments in VMware.
"The CA Technologies-powered KINECTed™ Cloud – Innovator service
helps ViaWest drive new revenue and build margin," said
Roger Pilc, general manager,
Virtualization and Automation, CA Technologies. "Our cloud platform
and integrated automation offerings help ViaWest improve
operational efficiency and reduce risks. They also help simplify
the delivery of services and provide a broad set of choices for
targeting specific markets with differentiated cloud services."
John Greer, systems architect,
ViaWest, will discuss the company's use of the CA AppLogic platform
and CA Process Automation during his CA World presentation ViaWest
Delivers the Cloud.
