ISLANDIA, N.Y. and LONDON, Jan. 26,
2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies (Nasdaq: CA) today
announced that Vnetrix, a U.K.-based managed service provider
(MSP), has reduced the launch time for hosted cloud services from
weeks to hours using CA AppLogic® software and is helping global
customers, Universal Music and Atkins, to benefit from cloud-based
operations. This fast-growing MSP, with a network of data centres
spanning Europe and North America, is leveraging the CA
Technologies AppLogic turnkey cloud computing platform to drive
Business Service Innovation by reducing time-to-market for new
business services, while simultaneously increasing margin.
Vnetrix is differentiating itself by rolling out cloud
infrastructure in a few hours to support its
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
offerings. "The CA AppLogic platform gives Vnetrix a clear
competitive edge in an increasingly crowded market," says
Rob Norman, chief executive officer
(CEO), Vnetrix. "We chose the cloud platform based on its fast
deployment capabilities, support for both our Windows and Linux
environments, and the vendor neutrality of CA Technologies. Using
the CA AppLogic platform we can rapidly build new cloud
applications for our clients, without involving an army of
people."
Vnetrix customers are already reaping the benefits of operating
on the CA AppLogic platform. The platform helps Universal Music to
support the high volume, public-facing artist sites for Universal
Music Japan and internal applications, including running a critical
part of its ecommerce supply chain for European teams. The cloud
also enables the rapid creation and modification of test servers
for specific short term requirements. The flexible cloud
infrastructure service provided by Vnetrix means that the music
company can now manage these high demands and the unpredictable
volumes of the music industry. Another customer, Atkins Global, a
leading engineering and design consultancy, is using the CA
AppLogic platform from Vnetrix to provide hosted Geospatial
solutions based on its CIRRUSmaps™ platform, a Web mapping
platform.
By standardising on the CA AppLogic platform, Vnetrix is
tackling this situation head on: quickly provisioning, deploying,
and managing complete cloud applications and the supporting
infrastructure for customers worldwide. Most importantly, the MSP
now has the flexibility to respond to new market opportunities,
while increasing the efficiency of its resources and operations.
The benefit of the CA AppLogic platform is that once the cloud is
built and ready, new servers can literally be deployed in anything
from minutes to a few hours. There is no need to order new
servers or to go through a whole new build process, customers can
simply drag and drop.
"CA Technologies revolutionary cloud platform enables Vnetrix to
deliver differentiated cloud services says Justine Harris, director of Cloud Solutions, CA
Technologies. "The CA AppLogic platform eliminates a major obstacle
in accessing true cloud computing technology: the binding of
software to hardware. This allows Vnetrix to deploy and scale
customer applications without changing code and architecture so
that the company can rapidly deliver IaaS and PaaS solutions."
Designed for MSPs and innovative enterprises, the CA AppLogic
application-centric cloud platform allows users to turn an
application and the infrastructure that supports it into a single
manageable object. After visually drawing the objects once, they
can be scaled and replicated or migrated quickly to another data
center in response to the changing needs of the business. The
result enables users to achieve greater agility, scalability,
ease-of-use and cost efficiency in cloud computing than was
previously possible.
