CA Southern Africa has announced the release of CA Cloud 360, a new solution that provides enterprises with a prescriptive approach to validate and select which applications and business services are best suited for private, public and hybrid clouds or traditional models.
Andrea Lodolo, CTO CA Southern Africa says CA Cloud 360 offers enterprise CIOs the visibility, foresight and predictive intelligence needed to effectively create new cloud services in as little as three months.
“As a result, customers can build comprehensive, transformative and sustainable cloud strategies that deliver business services when and how the business needs at predictable cost, risk and return,” says Lodolo.
He emphasises that enterprise CIOs are at a crossroads, shifting their focus from traditional cost-cutting activities to delivering innovation and business value through cloud computing.
“CA Cloud 360 gives customers the right mix of technology and in-depth experience needed to make informed decisions about the right service delivery models that directly align to their business initiatives. Ultimately, this solution allows our customers to focus on using the cloud for competitive advantage with rapid time to market of agile business services.”
CA Cloud 360 offers enterprises a flexible four-phased approach that guides CIOs through the often complex application and business services rationalisation process required for delivering cloud services. The solution helps enterprise customers to model and simulate components of composite services, identify capacity requirements and understand cost structures to improve design and deployment before making final investment decisions. It also starts the process of assembling reusable services into service bundles.
Lodolo says the solution combines flagship products from CA Technologies extensive IT management portfolio and the expertise of seasoned virtualisation and cloud consultants, many of whom came to the company through the 4Base Technologies acquisition in 2010.
“CA Cloud 360 supports customers as they transition from simply managing IT to delivering business services. The aim is to deliver a unique value roadmap to each customer’s business goals to deliver business service innovation, new levels of speed, innovation, performance and cost/risk efficiencies. The solution plays a key role in helping CIOs and IT executives adopt hybrid service models and execute on critical IT transformation strategies. As a result, CIOs can realise the full benefits of cloud computing by accelerating time to market with agile business services that deliver innovation, business value and competitive advantage,” concludes Lodolo.
