CA, Logicalis form cloud alliance

Automation Suite for Clouds as its preferred private cloud solution, claiming that this will help customers deploy private clouds quickly and at a reduced cost, reports TechWorld.

The suite enables Logicalis to implement cloud services across any hardware or virtualisation platform, simplifying migration from non-virtualised or virtualised environments.

According to CBR Online, CA Technologies virtualisation and automation general manager, Roger Pilc, says the offering will enable IT to manage private clouds across a broad combination of hardware and virtualisation technologies that customers already own.

"By adding CA Automation Suite for Clouds to their existing cloud offerings, Logicalis UK will offer a new set of capabilities that enable IT to provide cloud-based services to their customers rapidly and more cost effectively," he adds.

Chris Gabriel, marketing director at Logicalis says in a CloudPro report: “Our strategy is to allow customers to think about the delivery of ICT services, and not about managing an underlying cloud infrastructure. Only CA Technologies has the same vision and ability to deliver solutions that enable this significant and important transition.”
