CA and Opalis Software, the market leader in IT process automation software, have announced an OEM partnership that will enhance CA’s Data Centre Automation offerings with the IT process automation technology from Opalis. CA, one of the world's largest independent software companies, provides software solutions to unify and simplify IT management.

The joint technology solutions will further enable enterprises to drive down IT operational costs and increase productivity, while enforcing compliant best practices aimed at improving performance and availability of critical business services.

Will Bauman, senior vice president of workload automation at CA said, “Combining our CA workload automation solution with the innovative and customer-proven Opalis technology will consolidate and streamline the process and workflows our customers must coordinate to deliver their production workloads.”

Under this partnership agreement CA will broaden the suite of IT process automation solutions that let customers design, build, and orchestrate workflows for managing complexity and improving service quality.

Data Centre Automation (DCA) solutions from CA enable IT to leverage business policies and best practices to implement intelligent, policy-driven automation for change, configuration and provisioning processes, as well as for automation of complex, high-volume workloads. These capabilities reduce complexity and risk while helping IT provide adaptive, dynamic and optimised services to the business. This allows customers to anticipate demand fluctuations and adjust the infrastructure before service is impacted. CA DCA solutions also help optimise utilisation of physical and virtual assets, supporting “Green IT” initiatives and improving staff efficiency so that resources can focus on proactive management and strategic business objectives.
