CA recently announced a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held cloud computing vendor 3Tera.
3Tera’s AppLogic offers a solution for building cloud services and deploying complex enterprise-class applications to public and private clouds using an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
With 3Tera—which follows CA’s recent acquisitions of Cassatt, NetQoS and Oblicore—CA continues to expand its portfolio of solutions to manage cloud computing as part of an integrated information technology management program.
3Tera enables enterprises and service providers to provision, deploy and scale public and private cloud computing environments while maintaining full control, flexibility and reliability. It also makes it easy for service providers to offer application stacks on demand by adding applications to the AppLogic catalog, where they can be deployed to a low-cost, shared cloud infrastructure.
Chris O’Malley, Executive Vice President, Cloud Products and Solutions Business Line, CA, said, “By streamlining cloud-based deployment of composite applications, 3Tera adds significant new capabilities alongside CA’s existing virtual and physical infrastructure management functionality—including that provided by CA Spectrum Automation Manager, the CA Service Assurance line of products, and the recently acquired assets of Cassatt and Oblicore.” |
