ISLANDIA, N.Y., Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies
(Nasdaq: CA) today announced the launch of the CA Partner Solution
Center, a channel initiative for the CA Virtual portfolio. The
Center offers partners an extensive array of partner-specific
sales, marketing, and technical assets to support their efforts to
resell and augment their virtualization practice with CA Virtual
products.
These materials will help enable partners to differentiate their
offerings by using the CA Virtual portfolio to help virtualization
administrators overcome virtual stall and increase business agility
by provisioning, controlling, assuring, securing, and optimizing
virtual environments.
CA Technologies is offering a limited-time promotion. Until
June 30, 2011, current and
prospective partners and customers can purchase up to 25 physical
sockets of CA Virtual Assurance, CA Virtual Automation and/or CA
Virtual Configuration for only the cost of one year of maintenance.
Additional requirements apply. See the Terms and Conditions for the
promotion in the CA Partner Solution Center for details.
"Virtualizing tier one and two applications requires confidence,
visibility into the environment, predictive performance monitoring,
automation, scalability, organizational alignment, and extensive
training. CA Technologies channel partners play a key role in all
of these areas," said Roger Pilc,
general manager, Virtualization and Automation, CA Technologies.
"With the CA Virtual portfolio in their toolkits, partners can show
clear differentiated value and gain access to a suite of technology
that can be leveraged to create and deliver new services to their
customers."
"The CA Virtual portfolio complements many of the platform tools
we sell. It offers features critical for expanding virtualization
rollouts and managing critical applications in a virtual
environment," said Joe Burke, vice
president, Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, a business segment
of Arrow Electronics Inc. and value-added distributor for CA
Technologies. "This CA Virtual channel initiative aligns with our
commitment to enable resellers to have more strategic and
high-value conversations with their customers, to drive
profitability in their virtualization practice."
The CA Virtual portfolio, which is lightweight and easy to
deploy and manage, helps drive virtualization maturity by offering
powerful, heterogeneous management of virtualization environments.
The CA Technologies solutions augment virtualization platform
vendors' management tools, such as VMware vCenter™, VMware vSphere®
and Microsoft® Systems Center, by discovering and working with the
tools to perform key tasks. For example:
- CA Virtual Assurance provides a rich topology and root-cause
analytics to help ensure that IT can quickly and easily track down
faults in the virtual environment to preempt application and
infrastructure performance problems and downtime.
- CA Virtual Automation is designed to quickly and easily
provision VM templates into VMware® vSphere™, Microsoft® Hyper-V™,
or even Amazon EC2™ environments from a centralized self-service
interface. It also provides advanced resource pooling optimization
technology to help ensure that key applications always have the
resources they need while simultaneously driving higher utilization
and ROI from virtualization.
- CA Virtual Configuration helps ensure compliance by actively
maintaining configuration information and automatically triggering
remediation actions when confronted with non-compliant
configurations. It can improve time-to-value by employing out of
the box blueprints to recognize applications without customization.
CA Technologies also offers solutions for two other key
virtualization challenges: capacity management and security.
- CA Virtual Privilege Manager is designed to secure privileged
user access to virtual machines, hypervisor service consoles, and
virtual appliances - helping organizations control privileged user
actions, secure access to the virtual environment, and comply with
industry mandates.
- Hyperformix capacity management is designed to automatically
gather critical performance and usage data to predict the needs of
applications entering a virtual environment. This helps
administrators to plan virtualization rollouts and optimize
resource allocation without any downtime.
"CA Technologies is committed to sharing best practices for
prospecting, positioning, demonstrating, and selling its
virtualization management solutions," added Pilc. "Most of all, we
are committed to helping partners gain the trust of their customers
with the solutions and services needed to drive additional value
and revenue."
