ISLANDIA, N.Y., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA
Technologies (Nasdaq: CA) announced today a definitive agreement to
buy Hyperformix, a leading provider of capacity management software
for dynamic physical, virtual, and cloud IT infrastructures. Terms
of the transaction were not disclosed.
"Virtualization capacity management is among customers' most
critical IT management needs," said Roger
Pilc, general manager of CA Technologies Virtualization and
Automation customer solutions business. "An important aspect of our
virtualization and cloud strategies is to help customers overcome
the 'VM stall' challenges they encounter as they roll out
virtualization and progress to a dynamic, cloud-based data center
architecture. Hyperformix strengthens our ability to help
organizations advance their IT infrastructures to benefit the
business."
Capacity management enables customers to discover how physical,
virtual, hardware, software, storage, and network resources are
being used, and to determine what resources will be needed in the
future. The technology also helps customers optimize the deployment
of those resources to meet business objectives.
The acquisition of Hyperformix will help CA Technologies extend
its leadership in virtualization management, with market-leading
virtualization capacity management capabilities that complement its
existing virtualization, automation, and assurance solutions.
Together these technologies will comprise a comprehensive,
integrated solution to help customers evolve from an entry-level
virtualization project to a mature dynamic data center and private
cloud operation.
Specifically, the combination of CA Technologies and Hyperformix
will help organizations:
- Overcome challenges such as VM Sprawl (uncontrolled VM
deployments) and VM Stall (the inability to move beyond initial
virtualization of 20-30 percent of servers);
- Ensure application performance and service level agreements;
and
- Deliver cost, agility and availability benefits to the business
through faster and more reliable data center consolidations,
virtualization rollouts, platform refreshes and application
migrations.
CA Technologies and Hyperformix share many customers and
partners. This acquisition presents new opportunities for expanding
and strengthening relationships with those organizations, while
opening new opportunities with ones whose goal is to advance their
virtualization operations.
"Capacity management is an important discipline for customers
attempting to expand their virtualization and private cloud
deployments," said Peter Klante,
President and CEO, Hyperformix. "As a virtualization rollout
progresses through the enterprise, insight and comprehensive
planning are required to realize its potential. CA Technologies and
Hyperformix will deliver on that critical need."
The transaction is expected to close within CA Technologies
third fiscal quarter, which ends December
31, 2010. Hyperformix' operations and its employees will
become part of the Virtualization and Automation business at CA
Technologies. CA Technologies intends to expand its integrations
with Hyperformix' solutions to include the CA Virtual, CA Service
Automation, CA Service Assurance and CA Cloud portfolios.
