Independent IT management software company CA has announced the formation of a global virtualisation management partner community, which is comprised of leading reseller, cloud, and technology partners. The CA Partner Community for Business Transformation Through Virtualisation Management is designed to enable partners to improve the efficiency, quality, and agility of their customers’ virtualised environments. Foundation members include Empowered Networks and VMware.

Through the community, CA will work with strategic reseller and technology partners to deliver virtualisation management solutions and business best practices that enable both enterprises and service providers to transform their physical and virtual infrastructure from a cost centre into an enabler of innovation and business growth. CA will also work closely with cloud computing partners to meet the critical needs of their customers, using virtualisation management as a business transformation driver.

The CA Partner Community for Business Transformation Through Virtualisation Management empowers CA’s partners to address the pre-production and production scale challenges their customers face in deploying virtualisation infrastructure, applications and services. Through the community, CA will work with partners to deliver strategic, high-value services that will streamline the expansion and efficiency of customers’ production environments in critical areas such as capacity planning and modelling, configuration management (server, application), data centre consolidation, application staging, green IT planning, ITIL process creation and standardisation, next-generation data centre (NGDC) design, performance monitoring and maintenance, policy creation and mapping, run-book automation, SOA architecture build-out, and virtualisation management best practices.

“As virtualisation empowers IT to become a key catalyst of business growth and profitability, the network, systems database, and application management considerations that companies need to take into account are more strategic and business-focused than ever before,” said Roger Pilc, corporate senior vice president and general manager of CA’s Infrastructure Management and Data Centre Automation business unit. “We look forward to working with our partners to deliver IT and business transformation best practices that enable customers to fully leverage their virtual infrastructures to quickly and cost-effectively respond to changing market conditions.”

There is no fee to join the CA Partner Community for Business Transformation Through Virtualisation Management. For more information, visit www.ca.com/partners.
