CHICAGO and ISLANDIA, New York, Nov. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- iTRACS Corporation,
Inc. and CA Technologies today announced a partnership agreement to
collaboratively unleash the agility, efficiency, and dependability
of enterprise infrastructure.

The two organizations have joined forces to transform Data
Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM). Together, the companies
will advance solutions to help customers break through current DCIM
limitations and better manage data center power, space and cooling,
with complete awareness of the complex interdependencies and
processes underlying the enterprise infrastructure. The joint
development initiative provided for in the partnership agreement is
designed to integrate enterprise IT management with physical
infrastructure management for "single pane" management of a
customer's DCIM ecosystem – IT infrastructure, facilities
infrastructure, building management systems, and IT systems and
processes.
The companies will integrate capabilities from two software
solutions that powerfully support DCIM: CA ecoSoftware and iTRACS
Converged Physical Infrastructure Management™ (CPIM™). CA
ecoSoftware provides for real-time IT and facilities system
integration, analytics and automation. It helps enable power and
cooling data collection and analysis, reporting, alerting and
control across a wide range of data center IT and building
protocols, platforms and systems. iTRACS CPIM™ features the world's
first and only holistic view of enterprise infrastructure using an
interactive, navigable 3D environment that provides users with
comprehensive command-and-control over the entire physical
ecosystem.
Under the agreement, the companies will leverage their
respective systems management expertise to innovate and evolve a
comprehensive DCIM model – DCIModel™ – enabling the holistic
management of the interdependencies of asset, space, time, power,
connectivity and processes. The collaboration will deliver a new
level of infrastructure efficiency that transcends the confines of
conventional DCIM.
"We're excited to join forces with CA Technologies to help
customers unleash the true potential of DCIM," said Elizabeth Given, president and CEO, iTRACS. "The
capabilities provided by the integration of iTRACS CPIM™ and CA
ecoSoftware will empower customers to see, manage and optimize
their enterprise infrastructure holistically, enabling the
knowledge-based decisions that drive positive business outcomes.
This, we believe, is what DCIM is meant to be."
With the integration of iTRACS CPIM™ and CA ecoSoftware, data
center owners and operators can better optimize capacity and
performance, improve availability, reduce energy consumption and
costs, manage change, and more effectively leverage data center and
cloud technologies to serve the organization's business mission.
Users of both products will have an impressive understanding of –
and control over – the complex web of interrelationships that exist
between IT and facilities assets. The richness, accessibility, and
immediacy of insight, combined with the power and flexibility of
automation, will help increase availability and make better use of
capacity. This will result in more efficient use of the
infrastructure to better meet the needs of the business.
"By combining our strengths, we are delivering a unique approach
to DCIM that helps organizations enhance the agility, efficiency,
and dependability of their infrastructure," said Terrence Clark, general manager, CA ecoSoftware,
CA Technologies. "Under this partnership agreement, we are offering
a new level of visibility, convergence, and automation that helps
organizations cope with the need for availability, the pressures of
data center power, space and cooling capacity, and the demand for
greater efficiency. This is DCIM at its best."
The companies will demonstrate the integration of iTRACS CPIM™
and CA ecoSoftware at CA World 2011 (November 13-16) in Las
Vegas.
