CA
Technologies and Verizon announced that CA Technologies will offer its IT
management software through Verizon’s flagship cloud offering, Computing as a
Service (CaaS).

Initially,
CA Technologies will host CA Clarity PPM, its project and portfolio management solution, on
Verizon CaaS.

 

Verizon CaaS provides
a high-performance SAS 70 Type II-compliant environment in which CA
Technologies can host its applications securely and reliably. This hosted
software delivery option complements CA Technologies traditional on-premise
software delivery and its growing on-demand, SaaS delivery model for CA Service
Desk Manager On Demand and CA Clarityâ„¢ PPM On Demand.

 

The
CA Technologies offering on our cloud infrastructure underscores the shift we
are seeing toward cloud adoption,” said Kerry Bailey, group president of
enterprise cloud strategy and services at Verizon.

 

More
and more companies are using cloud computing to fundamentally improve the way
they do business. The combination of CA Technologies leading IT management
solutions and Verizon’s world-class cloud computing platform will enable more
customers to derive greater value and flexibility,” Bailey added.

 

  Cloud
computing is a core business for Verizon, and its reliability and security are
strategic value-adds for customers. In the future, we will consider hosting
other software applications on Verizon’s cloud,” said Adam Elster, general
manager, Services, Support and Education Sales, CA Technologies.

 

CA
Technologies recognizes that there is a growing trend for customers to use our
software in an on-demand, SaaS delivery model, but we also need to address the
needs of customers who want the control they get by owning the software license – without the burden and cost of managing the application and its
infrastructure. Providing the option to host our software on Verizon’s cloud
reinforces our commitment to helping customers achieve cost savings and agility
no matter what delivery model they choose” Elster added.

 

In
the Verizon cloud, CA Technologies customers will retain their licenses to the
software. They will also be able to configure the solutions to their own needs
or contract with CA Services to configure the solutions. Customers will benefit
from the hosting expertise of CA Services, which will monitor and manage the
application database and platform. Additionally, customers may be able to
offload costs associated with running hardware, such as cooling and power,
helping to save money and improve business agility.
