ISLANDIA, N.Y. and NEW YORK, May 26,
2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) and
Verizon (NYSE, NASDAQ: VZ) today announced that CA Technologies
will offer its IT management software through Verizon's flagship
cloud offering, Computing as a Service (CaaS). Initially, CA
Technologies will host CA Clarity™ PPM, its leading project and
portfolio management solution, on Verizon CaaS.
Verizon CaaS provides a high-performance SAS 70 Type
II-compliant environment in which CA Technologies can host its
applications securely and reliably. This hosted software delivery
option complements CA Technologies traditional on-premise software
delivery and its growing on-demand, SaaS delivery model for CA
Service Desk Manager On Demand and CA Clarity™ PPM On Demand.
"The CA Technologies offering on our cloud infrastructure
underscores the shift we are seeing toward cloud adoption," said
Kerry Bailey, Verizon group
president of enterprise cloud strategy and services. "More and more
companies are using cloud computing to fundamentally improve the
way they do business. The combination of CA Technologies leading IT
management solutions and Verizon's world-class cloud computing
platform will enable more customers to derive greater value and
flexibility."
According to Adam Elster, general
manager, Services, Support and Education Sales, CA Technologies,
"Cloud computing is a core business for Verizon, and its
reliability and security are strategic value-adds for customers. CA
Technologies recognizes that there is a growing trend for customers
to use our software in an on-demand, SaaS delivery model, but we
also need to address the needs of customers who want the control
they get by owning the software license – without the burden and
cost of managing the application and its infrastructure. Providing
the option to host our software on Verizon's cloud reinforces our
commitment to helping customers achieve cost savings and agility no
matter what delivery model they choose. In the future, we will
consider hosting other software applications on Verizon's
cloud."
In the Verizon cloud, CA Technologies customers will retain
their licenses to the software. They will also be able to configure
the solutions to their own needs or contract with CA Services to
configure the solutions. Customers will benefit from the hosting
expertise of CA Services, which will monitor and manage the
application database and platform. Additionally, customers may be
able to offload costs associated with running hardware, such as
cooling and power, helping to save money and improve business
agility.
With CA Technologies hosting customer applications on Verizon
CaaS, customers will benefit from:
- The option to use CA Clarity PPM in either an on-premise
deployment, through CA Technologies hosting on Verizon CaaS, or
delivered on demand, thereby providing increased flexibility.
- Agility to rapidly deploy and provision IT service
demands.
- Access to 1400+ CA Services experts for software upgrades,
configuration, customization and management of solutions.
- Facilitation of availability, redundancy and enterprise-wide
coverage via integrated delivery centers in the U.S. and
the Netherlands, underpinned by
the world-class Verizon global IP network.
- Compliance with PCI-DSS version 1 for robust data
security.
