ISLANDIA, N.Y. and ZURICH-KLOTEN, Switzerland, Jan. 25,
2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today
announced that Novatrend, a Swiss managed service provider (MSP),
has chosen the CA AppLogic® turnkey cloud computing platform to
launch a new set of cloud services.
Scalability and cost of infrastructure directly affect an
organization's gross margin and ability to grow. The CA AppLogic
platform provides a cost-effective, scalable path for rapid cloud
delivery by enabling customers to design, test and deploy complex
cloud solutions for end users in less time than build-from-scratch
cloud solutions.
In September 2011, Novatrend
launched "Novacloud," a scalable, cloud-hosting service based on
the CA AppLogic platform, which enables users to quickly and easily
design and deliver virtual business services in a matter of hours
instead of days or months. The platform gives Novatrend customers
constant access to a portal where, with a click of the mouse, they
can adjust resources and capacity to meet their business needs.
With Novacloud, users only pay for the capacity that they use.
Michael Brunner, co-founder and
chief technology officer of Novatrend, commented, "Many providers'
cloud offerings don't correspond to what we think of as the cloud.
Capacity is usually determined and limited by the performance and
availability of a dedicated server located somewhere in the cloud.
This can result in extremely slow response times and loss of
business during peak hours. We think the cloud should enable users
to draw on the capacity that they actually require – less during
quiet periods and more at peak times. With regard to costs, it
doesn't make sense if a website operator is forced to gauge its IT
capacity by usually brief periods of extremely high demand.
Customers should have control over on-demand performance based on a
transparent and fair cost model. The CA AppLogic platform provides
faster provisioning of applications, which allows us to more
rapidly deliver services, while minimizing our go-to-market
costs."
"The economies of scale created by implementing the CA AppLogic
platform are enormous – for both enterprises and MSPs. Novatrend's
customers should benefit from the platform's high performance,
reliability, and scalability," said Manfred
Eierle, vice president, Area Sales for Switzerland, CA Technologies. "Novatrend will
gain a competitive advantage from its ability to offer
cost-effective cloud services in Switzerland."
