(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT management software developer CA (www.ca.com) has announced that its Data Center Automation Manager has new features that help enterprise IT organizations and cloud computing providers deliver, scale and manage dynamic computing resources on demand.

According to the company's announcement, CA Data Center Automation Manager now enables real-time provisioning and performance management between on-premise and off-premise clouds, ensuring real-time resource allocation control, network availability and service-level management of cloud-based service offerings.

"Enterprises and cloud computing providers increasingly rely on each other to obtain real-time IT resources based on dynamic business demands," said Roger Pilc, CA infrastructure management and data center automation division senior vice president and general manager, in a statement. "CA Data Center Automation Manager helps consumers and providers of cloud services manage the growth that is currently outpacing infrastructure resources through automation, virtualization management, and in-depth performance management."

As cloud computing environments become increasingly complex because of the level of abstraction created by virtualization and other emerging technologies, management helps provide high availability and real-time provisioning, providing the capacity needed to meet service demands. "The solution helps to increase margins and enhance business value by compressing data center provisioning processes and improving management capabilities," Pilc said.

Customers can use CA Data Center Automation Manager to speed up cloud service deployments, increase operational efficiencies, improve IT agility and service quality, and mitigate IT and business risks. It provisions and monitors cloud computing resources to manage overflow during peak demands, policy-based response to business demands, and highly efficient infrastructure.

"Cloud computing providers will only be successful if they focus on deep management and automation technologies," stated Tom Bittman, vice president of technology research firm Gartner (www.gartner.com). "To deliver highly available services, cloud computing providers and enterprise IT organizations should leverage technologies that automate operational processes and reduce the risk of human error that could cause downtime and damage customer satisfaction."
