DATCHET, England, August 26, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies
(NASDAQ:CA) today announced that Oslo Bors ASA chooses CA Workload
Automation solution. By standardizing on the distributed hosted CA
Technologies solution, Oslo Bors will improve the availability of
the critical workflows and IT services the organisation relies on,
enhance end-to-end process visibility, and simplify compliance and
reporting. The solution is expected to deliver a rapid return on
investment.

Oslo Bors offers the only regulated markets for securities
trading in Norway, providing
investors with a comprehensive range of products including
equities, derivatives, and fixed income instruments. Challenged to
reduce its technology infrastructure management costs, Oslo Bors
examined various alternative workload automation solutions when the
existing IBM solution license was due for renewal. The company
chose CA Technologies in preference to equivalent solutions from
IBM, BMC Software, and UC4 based on a combination of CA's expertise
across all IT environments-from mainframe and physical to virtual
and cloud-product functionality, and price competitiveness.
Working closely with CA Services, Oslo Bors is now deploying CA
AutoSys Workload Automation to increase the availability of the
Norwegian organisation's critical IT workload processes and
schedules. Oslo Bors currently runs up to 3,000 jobs per day
(approximately 1,000 of which are unique jobs) across more than 200
Windows servers. The solution will help Oslo Bors proactively
manage its batch and online workload processes through event-based
IT automation capabilities. It will also enable workload
prioritisation, leveraging real-time alerting and dynamic critical
path management. The system is expected to go live later in
2010.
"In today's service-oriented enterprise, workload processing
demands are no longer predictable," said Tommy Nygren, Vice President, IT Operations and
Infrastructure, Oslo Bors. "This CA Workload Automation solution
introduces a new service-oriented generation of business processing
tools for managing workloads. It will enable Oslo Bors to increase
control over the dynamic execution of workloads required by today's
complex business processes."
CA AutoSys Workload Automation is an event-driven scheduling and
automation solution for distributed computing environments. The
solution provides configurable workflows and adopts a policy-driven
approach, in combination with traditional job scheduling techniques
(which include IT-centric and calendar-based events processing) to
automate processes across multiple platforms. The dynamic workload
allocation capability enables higher resource utilisation while
increasing application availability.
