CA Technologies has announced a new release of CA Capacity Management that integrates with CA Application Performance Management (CA APM) to help enterprises and service providers to ensure an exceptional end-user experience without over-provisioning IT infrastructure. By leveraging real production data to improve capacity planning models, the integrated solution enables IT to deliver a right-sized infrastructure to support business-critical application delivery.
“Today’s IT organizations are tasked with managing increasingly complex infrastructures comprised of physical, virtual, cloud and mainframe systems, all of which need to be optimized to deliver business-critical applications,” said Stephen Miles, Vice-President, Service Assurance, Asia-Pacific & Japan, CA Technologies.
CA Capacity Management helps customers run efficient and cost-effective data centers and delivers on service level agreements by reliably predicting the infrastructure needed to support business-critical systems today and into the future. When used in combination with CA APM, customers can build more accurate models and run an unlimited number of “what-if” scenarios to understand how applications will perform under different conditions.
By using capacity planning models based on real application performance data, IT can find the right combination of hardware, virtualization and cloud services to meet the needs of the business while limiting the impact to the bottom line. This helps mitigate risk because IT can reliably predict that load increases – whether seasonal or otherwise – will function properly in their environment.
