"Logicalis UK is at the forefront in offering cloud services to
the FTSE 250 and public sector customers. The new offering,
based on CA Technologies, will provide their customers with access
to a market leading solution that manages private clouds across a
broad combination of hardware and virtualisation technologies that
customers already own, combined with innovative strategic advisory
services, planning and rapid service delivery. By adding CA
Automation Suite for Clouds to their existing cloud offerings,
Logicalis UK will offer a new set of capabilities that enable IT to
provide cloud-based services to their customers rapidly and more
cost effectively," said Roger
Pilc, general manager, Virtualization and Automation, CA
Technologies.
Chris Gabriel, marketing
director, Logicalis UK, said, "Private clouds have moved beyond
virtualisation and our customers want to leverage private cloud as
a single platform for consistent ICT service delivery. After
reviewing the market for a robust private cloud solution, Logicalis
UK chose CA Automation Suite for Clouds to feature as part of our
cloud service and solution offerings. Our strategy is to
allow customers to think about the delivery of ICT services not
about managing an underlying cloud infrastructure, and, further to
a market place assessment, only CA Technologies has the same vision
and ability to deliver solutions that enable this significant and
important transition. CA Technologies expertise in developing
and supporting cloud environments helps us to help our customers to
take maximum advantage, architecturally and operationally, of this
new approach to IT service delivery."
Logicalis UK selected CA Automation Suite for Clouds as its
preferred private cloud solution to complement its existing
comprehensive cloud solution portfolio. The CA Technologies
solution helps customers optimise resource utilisation and reduce
costs through dynamic orchestration and workload management to
automate the entire cloud service workflow and lifecycle.
Visibility and financial insight into service metering, billing and
reporting capabilities also mean that Logicalis UK customers can
easily associate direct and indirect costs for services while
providing transparency.
In addition, the service metering and billing supports fixed or
usage-based pricing, a billing and financial reporting engine and
integrated chargeback. These distinctive features facilitate the
new Logicalis UK solution by helping customers to quickly and
securely provision and de-provision their own resources and
services without the need to directly involve their internal IT
department. This allows customers' IT organisations to provide an
agile, pragmatic approach that helps reduce complexity while
lowering costs.
CA Technologies has worked closely with Logicalis UK to develop
a platform on which to manage and roll out cloud
offerings. Logicalis UK already manages the delivery and
performance of its award-winning Cooperative Enterprise Cloud
Service on CA Technologies service automation, service assurance,
and energy and sustainability management solutions, which are
instrumental in Logicalis UK's ability to offer customers agile,
low-risk, efficient, and cost-effective cloud services.
