(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — IT management software and solutions company CA Technologies (www.ca.com) has expanded its support for Amazon Web Services to provide greater management and automation solutions to help customers increase their business agility and optimize their IT supply chain.
According to CA’s Thursday announcement, CA Virtual, CA Service Automation, CA Service Assurance and the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution can now easily plug into the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (aws.amazon.com/vpc/). These solutions let businesses automate the deployment of applications and resources within Amazon’s cloud infrastructure, monitor their technical performance, and ensure that the resources used at any given time are optimally aligned with business requirements.
“CA Technologies is committed to helping customers thrive as they move increasing portions of their infrastructure into the cloud,” CA Technologies management products and solutions general manager Dave Hansen said in a statement. “Our expanded support for Amazon Web Services gives our customers the tools they need to seamlessly manage and optimize their dynamic IT supply chain of external and internal resources and attain greater business agility.”
CA Technologies supports Amazon VPC, as well as the shared Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, enabling customers a variety of options for managing their IT resources across on-premise resources and AWS.
Amazon launched its VPC service last year as a premium cloud product that isolates users’ resources within the AWS cloud, offering greater security than with Amazon EC2. It also gives users greater access to cloud resources. AWS senior vice president Andy Jassy said at the time that it would enable “any company to seamlessly connect their existing resources to the AWS cloud as if it were a part of their own data center.”
CA Technologies’ support for Amazon VPC helps customers derive added business value from the new private cloud service. With Amazon VPC, CA Technologies customers can extend their data center into the cloud using a secure, industry-standard encrypted IPsec virtual private network connection. To do this, users create an isolated network, specify an IP address range, and then launch Amazon EC2 instances into that network.
“Amazon VPC enables enterprises to connect their existing technology infrastructure to a set of secure on-demand, highly elastic and highly reliable cloud compute resources, as if they were a part of their own data center,” AWS business development director Terry Wise said in a statement. “We are pleased that CA Technologies customers can fully leverage CA management and automation solutions in conjunction with their use of AWS.”
