ISLANDIA, N.Y. and TOKYO, Sept. 16
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA Technologies (Nasdaq: CA) and Fujitsu
Limited today announced the formation of a strategic alliance that
will enhance each company's service assurance product portfolio and
cloud computing strategy.
In the initial stage of the alliance, the companies have signed
an OEM agreement under which Fujitsu will sell CA Application
Performance Management (CA APM) (CA Technologies is named a leader*
in Application Performance Monitoring) in Japan, and offer it with their SOA middleware
suites and system management software suites. In addition, CA
Technologies will offer Fujitsu's Interstage Business Process
Manager Analytics product worldwide, as CA Business Process
Performance Analytics (CA BPPA), as an add-on option to CA APM.
This partnership enhances the ability of both CA Technologies
and Fujitsu to help organizations improve management of
heterogeneous enterprise IT environments and dynamically optimize
IT supply chains. Using the solutions from CA Technologies and
Fujitsu, organizations can launch new cloud initiatives with
confidence by gaining comprehensive transaction and business
process performance visibility across the application
infrastructure. This will help assure that service delivery is
meeting end user expectations and business objectives.
"CA Technologies and Fujitsu have a long history of working
together to drive new product and services business opportunities,"
said Chris Cook, general manager of
CA Technologies Service Assurance business. "This partnership
demonstrates the companies' ongoing commitment to deliver
market-driven solutions that solve critical IT and business
management challenges, including quality service delivery and
end-user experience management."
"The combination of CA Technologies and Fujitsu products will
make both companies' IT and business solution offerings more
comprehensive and competitive," said Masato
Nitta, president of Fujitsu's Middleware Business Unit. "CA
APM proactively pinpoints and resolves performance problems with
key IT services in real time to assure the consistently high
service delivery levels customers demand. Fujitsu Interstage
Business Process Manager Analytics complements CA APM by
correlating and translating application performance problems into
business and business process contexts."
CA APM will help Fujitsu customers to anticipate and quickly
identify the root cause of transaction performance issues, and then
resolve the most important problems first to help assure IT is
delivering the highest service levels possible. By combining CA APM
and Fujitsu middleware suites, Fujitsu will be able to provide a
holistic IT management solution for physical, virtual and cloud
environments.
CA BPPA will enhance the CA Service Assurance portfolio by
expanding its capabilities into business process performance
management and business activity monitoring. The product will help
customers improve agility by providing broader and deeper insight
into the performance of business processes, services, applications
and transactions, and the quality of the end user experience. CA
BPPA will help line of business managers and application owners to
optimize business process performance, manage Service Level
Agreements (SLAs) proactively, resolve business-impacting issues
quickly, and assure consistently high service delivery levels in
all environments, including cloud.
