LAS VEGAS, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA WORLD -- CA
Technologies today announced several new and enhanced agile cloud
solutions that deliver business services across public, private or

Group, CA Technologies. "Our portfolio of solutions helps simplify
this complexity and provides a path to move from IT rationalization
and optimization, to business service innovation and growth."
The cloud solutions announced today provide the foundation for a
business service platform to help customers leverage the advantages
of cloud computing for impactful business services. The solutions
below, combined with CA Technologies deep expertise in IT
management and security for the mainframe, distributed and cloud
environments, help deliver the innovative business services
required to enable IT to move at the speed of business.
CA Cloud 360
CA Cloud 360 provides enterprises with a prescriptive approach
to help validate and select which applications and business
services are best suited for private, public and hybrid clouds. A
four-stage process combines expert consulting from CA Services with
flagship products from CA Technologies IT management portfolio to
provide visibility, foresight and predictive intelligence for cloud
services lifecycle planning. The solution spans application
portfolio analysis, predictive capacity analysis, application and
service virtualization, application testing in simulated production
environments, as well as service level performance and management.
Please see the full press release issued today for more
details.
Cloud Commons® Ecosystem
CA Technologies has advanced the Cloud Commons ecosystem,
rolling out the new Cloud Commons Marketplace and Developer Studio.
The Cloud Commons Marketplace unites buyers and sellers of cloud
solutions and services and allows them to compare, procure, manage,
and sell ongoing subscription-based cloud solutions, services and
content. Developers and independent software vendors can use the
Cloud Commons Developer Studio to create cloud-ready IT solutions
designed for both public and private cloud environments, using the
CA AppLogic® platform. It facilitates collaboration and
development projects with tools for developers who want to plan,
build and test cloud-based software projects. For more information
on these new features, see the separate press release issued
today.
CA Automation Suite for Clouds
CA Automation Suite for Clouds was first announced in July and
delivered a single solution to transform existing data centers by
rapidly rolling out private cloud services and realize faster
time-to-value for a cloud deployment. It offers pre-designed
workflows for automated, self-service delivery of virtual and
physical infrastructure and application services, while supporting
fixed or usage-based pricing with a billing and financial reporting
engine that automatically associates service usage to departments,
cost centers, or customers/users. This new release of the solution
adds support for additional platforms such as the CA AppLogic
platform, VCE vBlock™ Infrastructure Platforms, and Microsoft
Hyper-V, IBM LPAR, Oracle Solaris Zones and VMware View, as well as
enhanced cloud management, security and orchestration capabilities
to further unify cloud automation and simplify management of
multiple clouds in a single interface. Please see BLOG LINK for
more information.
CA Application Performance Management
The latest release of CA APM unleashes the next generation of
Application Performance Management with the industry's first and
only unified application, infrastructure and network performance
solution that helps eliminate hybrid-cloud infrastructure blind
spots to put customers firmly in control of the end-user
experience. By linking transaction performance to the failing
application, network and infrastructure component, CA APM empowers
customers to rapidly isolate, diagnose and resolve problems across
technology silos. This 360-degree view of the environment provides
a single source-of-truth that allows customers to gain better
control of the end-user experience across a hybrid cloud while
providing data on how well it delivers on business objectives and
SLAs.
CA APM Cloud Monitor makes the full-featured CA APM solution
even more comprehensive with a cloud application monitoring service
that provides end-to-end transaction visibility into cloud
applications. By testing application performance from outside the
firewall, customers can quickly and accurately verify that SaaS
vendors and MSPs are meeting SLAs. For more information, please see

CA CloudMinder™
CA Technologies is adding two new identity and access management
(IAM) cloud solutions to its CA CloudMinder family of IAM
as-a-Service offerings. CA IdentityMinder as-a-Service and CA
FedMinder as-a-Service deliver key capabilities for increasing
security and improving operational efficiencies while providing all
the benefits of a cloud deployment model: elasticity to expand or
contract service support as needed; shorter deployment cycles; and
