CA plans to release update versions of its application management tools for mainframes and distributed computing environments that for the first time will let solution providers in the channel integrate these offerings to create a holistic view of the enterprise.
CA is rolling out an umbrella offering called Cross Application Performance Management (CrossAPM) that integrates new versions of the company’s SYSVIEW mainframe management software with the Wily management software that CA markets for distributed computing environments.
According to CA, customers are increasing asking to integrate their mainframe and distributed computing environments under a common management framework in order to lower the cost managing these environments. Via this integration, they hope to reduce the total cost of enterprise computing environments where two-thirds of the IT budget is typically consumed by ongoing maintenance.
CrossAPM is an element of CA’s larger Lean IT initiative that seeks to reduce the cost of enterprise computing by bringing higher levels of IT automation into the IT organization.
