ISLANDIA, N.Y., Jan. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies
(Nasdaq: CA) today announced that ScaleMatrix, a new managed
service provider (MSP) run by data center industry veterans, has
chosen CA® 3Tera® AppLogic® software as the primary platform for
delivering its catalog of cloud computing services.
To launch and build the business, ScaleMatrix needed a single
platform to provide multiple cloud offerings, including application
hosting, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service
(PaaS), and Virtual Private Data Centers (VPDCs). The company
selected the CA 3Tera AppLogic cloud platform in a three-year
contract valued at $3.06 million.
ScaleMatrix will also use CA 3Tera AppLogic to provide
scalability and high availability for business services running in
the company's cloud environments.
"We selected CA 3Tera AppLogic software because it was the best
solution on the market to help us quickly and cost-effectively
ramp-up our cloud services business," said Mark Ortenzi, CEO of ScaleMatrix. "The solution
works on a range of hardware, including x86 commodity servers, to
significantly reduce our upfront infrastructure investment, and
gives us the flexibility to expand geographically without incurring
the sky-high costs associated with global infrastructure
deployments."
The CA Technologies solution will enable ScaleMatrix to meet
customer demands for today's most popular cloud offerings, while
also providing differentiated solutions such as VPDCs, or hosted
private clouds. The company can build, maintain, and manage
all of these services from a single software platform, thereby
leading to greater cost efficiencies and ease of operations.
ScaleMatrix can satisfy small start-ups to Fortune 500
enterprises by leveraging the CA 3Tera AppLogic solution's
scalability and flexibility. The platform's built-in high
availability and disaster recovery capabilities allow ScaleMatrix
to offer enterprise-level quality of service. ScaleMatrix also
expects the CA 3Tera AppLogic cloud platform will make it easier to
operate and manage services among multiple geographically-dispersed
data centers, with its easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface.
ScaleMatrix was launched in 2010 and founded by Mark Ortenzi, Bill
Kraus, Mike Vignato, and
Paul Marble, long-time veterans of
the technology industry. What sets ScaleMatrix apart from other
cloud service providers is its ability to control the entire
process on behalf of its customers. ScaleMatrix architects,
deploys, and manages the entire solution in any one of its 12 data
centers across the United States
or in a customer's own private data center.
"This deal is the largest CA 3Tera AppLogic platform customer
license agreement to date. More importantly, ScaleMatrix is now a
key partner in our efforts to help IT organizations use cloud
computing to change how they bring technology services to market,"
said Adam Famularo, general manager,
Cloud Computing business, CA Technologies. "With its broad
set of offerings and deep knowledge of the CA 3Tera AppLogic
platform, ScaleMatrix is a credible MSP partner that will enable CA
Technologies to deliver the true power of the hybrid cloud."
