CA Technologies and Unisys Corporation have announced that they have extended their alliance to offer joint solutions that accelerate customers’ path from virtualisation to the cloud. The solutions will combine CA Technologies virtualisation management, service automation, and service management products with Unisys’ virtualisation and cloud advisory, planning, design and implementation services.
The first solution is designed to help organisations overcome “virtual stall” – the complications that can arise from enterprise virtualisation projects. This joint solution also represents a step in Unisys’ strategy to help enterprise customers implement cloud computing to extend their datacentre capabilities while continuing to leverage existing IT investments.
The joint CA Technologies-Unisys solution blends CA Technologies service catalog, process automation, self-service provisioning, configuration management, and charge back/accounting capabilities, with Unisys’ expert advisory, planning, design and implementation services. This combination of technology and services gives customers a better way to provision, control, secure, and optimise complex multivendor IT environments.
CA Technologies and Unisys plan to expand the range of solutions they offer to help customers create private, hybrid and public clouds by providing unified management of physical and virtual environments, along with automation that spans IT domains and critical IT service management processes.
“The CA Technologies and Unisys alliance leverages the strengths of each organisation to offer cloud solutions that are comprehensive, reliable and secure,” said Roger Pilc, General Manager, Virtualisation and Automation, CA Technologies. “Our collaboration offers a perfect match of expert advisory services and best-in-class technology, enabling customers to reap the rewards of evolving from virtualisation to cloud computing.”
“Unisys and CA Technologies bring decades of experience and applied innovation in the datacentre and IT services management,” said Fred Dillman, Chief Technology Officer, Unisys. “By combining our complementary strengths, we can help our clients address some very real challenges they are facing in their virtualisation and cloud projects and more quickly realise the benefits.”
