Managing Virtual Infrastructure
These new releases of CA Spectrum Infrastructure Manager and CA eHealth Performance Manager will provide extensive, integrated management for virtual systems. The ability to manage physical and virtual infrastructure from a single pane of glass will save IT from having to acquire, learn and maintain separate tools. New functionality will include the ability to discover, visualise, monitor performance, isolate faults, conduct root cause and impact analysis, track virtual machine movement and view utilisation of VMware environments.
“These are significant releases of CA Spectrum and CA eHealth because customers are finding fault and performance challenges as they grow their virtual system deployments,” said Roger Pilc, corporate senior vice president and general manager of CA’s Infrastructure Management and Data Center Automation business unit. “Combining networks and physical and virtual systems management in our integrated solution will support lean IT, enabling customers to leverage a comprehensive fault and performance solution to efficiently manage expanding virtual environments.”
