CA Launches Cloud Computing, SaaS Initiatives

CA Inc. has unveiled a cloud computing management initiative and an SaaS business unit.

The integrated suite of enterprise IT management solutions includes governance and security solutions and spans virtualized, distributed and mainframe computing, storage, network and desktop infrastructures.

“The over-provisioning model used by data centers for years is rapidly becoming unsustainable — especially in this economic environment,” said Cameron Haight, research vice president, Gartner Inc. “As a consequence, a new, dynamic data center model is emerging, driven by new management strategies and supported by virtualization and automation technologies.”
