ISLANDIA, N.Y. and LONDON, Jan. 30,
2012 /PRNewswire/ -- (Cisco Live) -- CA Technologies today
announced CA Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock™ Platforms, a new
solution that drives Business Service Innovation by enabling IT to
provide rapid, predictable and secure provisioning and delivery of
cloud infrastructure and critical IT and business services.
This is the company's fifth solution certified for use with VCE
Vblock Infrastructure Platforms, all of which are based on CA
Technologies Unified Automation solutions. CA Technologies also
recently announced 12 Vblock Ready™ products spanning service
management, virtualization, automation, service assurance, and
capacity management.
Enterprises and managed service providers (MSPs) use cloud
management software to enable their Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS) offerings. Many organizations are evaluating and testing
converged private cloud architectures, such as Vblock Platforms,
that allow IT resources to be dynamically pooled and shared across
multiple physical and virtual computing environments.
"Over the next two years IT has high expectations for the
economic, productivity and performance benefits that can be
achieved by using automation, orchestration and self service
provisioning to optimize resource consumption and IT workflows
across private cloud environments," said Mary Johnston Turner, research vice president,
Enterprise System Management Software, IDC.
CA Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock Platforms is designed to
address these expectations by offering standardization, a rapid
provisioning process and performance predictability.
"We continue to work with VCE to help customers improve business
agility, reduce risk and lower the costs of operating private
clouds," said Adam Famularo, general
manager, Enterprise and Cloud Solutions, CA Technologies. "CA
Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock Platforms can help enterprises
and MSPs rapidly deliver services in a private cloud environment,
maximizing their investment in VCE Vblock Platforms and driving
Business Service Innovation to deliver speed, performance and
improved cost efficiencies."
CA Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock Platforms leverages CA
Process Automation and CA Service Catalog to provide customers with
a single, unified view and point of control across virtual and
private cloud resources.
Out-of-the-box standardized processes allow IT organizations to
deliver Vblock Infrastructure Platforms as a service.
CA Service Catalog, accessed through a secure, online portal,
empowers users to quickly select and provision the resources they
need. CA Process Automation helps ensure that pooled resources are
provisioned quickly, with minimal effort. Service usage is metered
and associated to departments, cost centers, or users for billing
or chargeback.
Every organization is different when it comes to process. CA
Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock Platforms is built on top of
an extensible platform that allows IT to easily customize the
solution to meet its needs and provide the flexibility to respond
dynamically to changing business requirements.

Technology Solutions, a national IT consulting and integration
company.

enables IT to transform its converged infrastructure into a true

Integration and Managed Services with CA Private Cloud Accelerator
for Vblock Platforms, customers can enable private cloud
capabilities in days versus months, and realize a rapid return on
