CA Technologies to Provide Same-Day Support for IBM zEnterprise System
Management Software -- Including CA Mainframe Software Manager and CA Mainframe Chorus -- Being Readied For Next Evolution of System z
ISLANDIA, N.Y., July 22 -- CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA), an IBM development partner, today announced that it is working closely with IBM with the intent of providing same-day support across its mainframe software portfolio for the upcoming release of the IBM zEnterprise System including the new IBM zEnterprise 196 mainframe. As part of this commitment, CA Technologies is designing its innovative new CA Mainframe Software Manager (CA MSM) and CA Mainframe Chorus products to operate in the zNext environment.
The new zEnterprise 196 hardware and supporting operating systems are perfectly aligned with CA Technologies Mainframe 2.0 strategy because they are ideal for helping customers simplify management and improve quality of service to users. Additionally, CA Technologies intends to support the newly-announced zEnterprise System, a new systems architecture in which workloads on mainframe, POWER7 and System x systems will share resources and be managed as a single, virtualized system. This new system offers industry leading levels of energy efficiency, systems management, virtualization, service assurance and cloud computing across the enterprise.
"We are committed to supporting IBM's new zEnterprise System, which demonstrates IBM's continued investment in the most secure, reliable and scaleable IT computing platform," said Dayton Semerjian, general manager of Mainframe Customer Solutions Unit at CA Technologies. "To best serve customers, we will embrace zEnterprise with our extensive portfolio of management solutions, including the revolutionary CA MSM and CA Mainframe Chorus products."
"IBM is pleased that CA Technologies will offer day one support for our new zEnterprise System," said Karl Freund, vice president, IBM System z. "By supporting this new enterprise system, CA Technologies continues to invest and innovate in building on the valued qualities of the mainframe and extending those qualities to POWER7 and System x systems."
