CA known for its portfolio of telecoms and ITIL compliant IT datacentre management tools has chosen to buy (rather than build) into a new solution set for Cloud Computing – the latest acquisition announced is 3Tera whose AppLogic tool facilitates the rapid provisioning of Public and Private Clouds.
With 3Tera—which follows CA’s recent acquisitions of Cassatt, NetQoS and Oblicore—CA continues to aggressively expand its portfolio of solutions to manage cloud computing as part of an integrated information technology management program.
3Tera enables enterprises and service providers to provision, deploy and scale public and private cloud computing environments while maintaining full control, flexibility and reliability. 3Tera also makes it easy for service providers to offer application stacks on demand by adding applications to the AppLogic catalog, where they can be deployed to a low-cost, shared cloud infrastructure. 3Tera’s customers include more than 80 enterprises and service providers globally, which use the cloud computing technology to provide services to thousands of users.
Last November CA also announced a significant partnership with Salesforce.com which will lead to CA developing new Cloud monitoring tools on the Force.com platform.
