CA Technologies believes that to manage the Data Center of the Future
a comprehensive, integrated and lifecycle approach to IT management
needs to be taken.

to respond to business needs by maximizing service delivery, flexibility and choice.
CA Technologies and VMware have collaborated to integrate
CA Technology lifecycle solutions with the the VMWare vSphere
virtualization platform. The result — organizations can rapidly deliver
the business benefits of virtualization and cloud computing on time
and without risk.

CA solutions provide a comprehensive, 360 view into the cost, quality, function and benefit of IT services deployed
across VMware vSphere platform so that more objective decisions about where to invest in virtualization and cloud
computing can be made. For example, CA NetQoS Performance Center allows IT staff to passively measure and
baseline application response times prior to any change in the infrastructure, providing service delivery benchmarks
to be maintained throughout the virtualization process. Additionally, new and highly innovative solutions such as
CA ecoMeter and CA ecoGovernance enable businesses to assess the effects virtualization has on environmental
and sustainability initiatives. 

CA Virtualization and Service Automation solutions such as CA Virtual Automation and CA Virtual Configuration
help enable the more rapid provisioning of an entire application stack across the virtualized data center. Integration
between CA and VMware solutions delivers key capabilities needed to provide optimum management of resource
pools and prevent server sprawl, and include: application discovery and mapping, server provisioning, configuration
management, change detection, self-service reservation and dynamic resource brokering. Additionally, CA Spectrum
Automation Manager extends control by provisioning across physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure.

CA Service Assurance solutions provide end-to-end control and top-to-bottom visibility of services deployed across
the VMware vSphere platform. With innovative capabilities including: service modelling, advanced event correlation
and business service analytics, solutions here help ensure the more rapid detection, prioritization and management of
problems before they impact business performance. Solutions in this category include CA NetQoS Performance Center,
which provides comprehensive “application aware” network and traffic visibility within and across virtual machines, and
CA Virtual Performance to optimize the uptime and performance of VMware infrastructures and applications deployed
within it.

CA Security solutions helps you protect your VMware infrastructure by mitigating security exposures across public,
private and hybrid cloud services. By injecting the right policy controls, we help ensure the protection is there when
it’s needed; embedding CA Identity Management, CA Access Control (including privileged user management),
CA Enterprise Log Management and supporting global compliance reporting requirements for your customers, service
providers, and partners. Additionally, we extend your protective umbrella with leading backup and recovery solutions,
including the CA ARCserve product family; providing total protection, recovery and availability of your VMware systems,
applications and data.

CA 3Tera AppLogic enables you to package an entire N-tier application stack or service into a logical entity, and by
managing as a single system helps take provisioning time from weeks to minutes. As applications and services are
provisioned, CA Nimsoft Monitoring Solution (NMS) for VMware provides an easy to use, scalable, and cost effective
solution for monitoring and optimizing performance in VMware environments with many capabilities including: Multi-
host, Multi-VC monitoring and dynamic discovery views. Additionally, for extended service level support, CA Oblicore
Guarantee allows you to establish service level agreements in business terms and continuously measure service
performance against contract terms and conditions.

make the Data Center of the Future work for you! At CA Technologies,
we can make IT agility possible.
