"We will continue to work closely with IBM and embrace their zEnterprise technology to deliver on that goal."

CA actively participated in IBM's Early Support Program for z/OS V1.12 by installing it in its own data center, helping to optimize "Day One" support for customers.

"CA Technologies continues to aggressively support the mainframe ecosystem," said IBM Karl Freund, vice president, IBM System z.  "Their same-day support for our new zEnterprise server and the latest release of z/OS 1.12 will further benefit our mutual customers."
