CA Technologies Delivers Enhanced Management and Governance Solutions for Amazon Web Services

MUMBAI, December 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    New Capabilities Target Enterprise Cloud Computing for Business-critical Applications
and Services

    CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA), the leader in cloud systems management software*, today
announced it is offering enhanced management and governance capabilities powered by Amazon
Web Services (AWS).

    Enterprise customers rely on CA Technologies solutions - including CA Automation Suite
for Clouds [http://www.ca.com/us/cloud-automation.aspx ], CA Application Performance
Management [http://www.ca.com/us/application-management.aspx ], CA Nimsoft Cloud Monitor
[http://www.nimsoft.com/solutions/nimsoft-cloud-user-experience.html ] and CA ARCserve(R)
[http://www.arcserve.com/us/default.aspx ] - to manage, monitor and protect applications
and services running on AWS.

    At the AWS re: Invent [https://reinvent.awsevents.com ] customer and partner
conference in Las Vegas, CA Technologies unveiled robust solutions developed on AWS within
CA Automation Suite for Clouds. With this new integration, customers can streamline and
govern the provisioning of AWS services, allowing them to rapidly move workloads to the
cloud. This enables customers to realise even faster time to value for cloud deployments
and greater agility as their resource needs change.

    "While enterprises are moving computing resources to third-party cloud service
providers to give them increased flexibility, scalability and responsiveness in meeting
rapidly changing business demands; CIOs have been slower to consider cloud environments
for their business-critical applications because of perceived concerns about the ability
to manage or govern those resources," said Roger Pilc, General Manager, Industries,
Solutions & Alliances, CA Technologies. "With our offerings developed on AWS, we're
helping to remove some of those barriers, giving enterprises the management, monitoring
and governance capabilities they are accustomed to using in their on-premise systems and
cloud environments."

    "As we work closely with our enterprise customers, we understand that they are looking
for a wide range of options to manage and govern their applications, services and
resources on AWS," said Terry Wise, Head of Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, Amazon Web
Services. "Many enterprise customers already use CA Technologies solutions on premise, and
by enabling these customers to extend these capabilities to AWS, enterprises are able to
deploy critical workloads in the cloud while maintaining similar operational and
governance frameworks that they do on premise."

    Additional features of CA Automation Suite for Clouds Powered by Amazon Web Services
include:

       
        - Enterprise Lifecycle Management of AWS Services
        - Pre-designed workflows and approvals for automated self-service delivery of
          infrastructure and application services within the AWS Cloud
        - Governance and Administration
        - Configurable processes to allow finance, compliance and configuration
          management for customers to establish approval and audit trails
        - Holistic Portfolio Support
        - Application performance management to deliver quality of experience for
          critical business services
        - Data management for recovery and availability of data

    "CA Technologies has a strong set of enterprise-level capabilities that we can use to
take advantage of the AWS Cloud when our customers need to quickly deploy important work
loads," said Darren House, Technologist, GTSI Corp. "The self-service capability will
reduce the burden for our customers, allowing them to focus on strategic initiatives and
on driving innovation, while maintaining governance processes for compliance and audits."
