CA Looks To Ease Virtualisation Admin Burden
CA is looking to ease the administrative burden associated with virtualised environments after it bulked up its management portfolio for cloud infrastructure
Enhancements to Spectrum Automation Manager r11.7 includes faster physical-to-virtual and virtual-to-virtual provisioning, expanded support for such virtualisation platforms as VMware’s vSphere 4, Citrix Systems’ Xen, IBM’s LPAR and the virtualisation technology in Sun Microsystems’ Solaris OS.
Insight Database Performance Manager r11.3 lets administrators monitor the performance of their databases, including IBM’s DB2, Oracle, Microsoft’s SQL Server and Sybase, in physical, virtual and cloud environments. Administrators get automated views of these databases in VMware environments.
On the security side, CA is offering upgraded capabilities in its Access Control 12.5, Identity Manager 12.5, Role and Compliance Manager 12.5, Records Manager 12.6, and Governance, Risk and Compliance manager 2.5.
