CA Is a Founding Member of the TM Forum's New Cloud Services Program

CA Sole Independent Management Software Vendor in Initiative to Accelerate Cloud Services Adoption.

ISLANDIA, N.Y., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA, Inc. (Nasdaq: CA) announced that it is a founding member of the TM Forum's new ecosystem of major industry players in the emerging cloud services sector. CA will collaborate with other leading cloud service providers, technology suppliers, and enterprise users on a comprehensive program for accelerating cloud services adoption.

Joining CA in the TM Forum cloud initiative are Alcatel-Lucent, Amdocs, AT&T, BT, Cisco, EMC, HP, IBM, Microsoft, Nokia Siemens Networks, Telecom Italia and Telstra. Industry organizations participating in the initiative include DMTF for resource management and itSMF (through itSMF UK) for service delivery. The TM Forum cloud initiative will work with the TM Forum's Enterprise Cloud Buyers Council (ECBC), which includes Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Deutsche Bank, to make it easy for cloud buyers and providers to maximize the value of cloud technologies and architectures.

"A key to ensuring rapid adoption of cloud services is management of the hybrid cloud environment," said Chris O'Malley, executive vice president, Cloud Products & Solutions, CA. "Enterprise cloud users want the ability to extend their management, security and governance tools and policies, as well as ITIL® processes, into a hybrid private/public environment. At the same time, service providers need to provide their enterprise customers with seamless management to leverage flexible cloud network, compute and storage services."

CA, which has been providing management solutions to both the enterprise and service provider markets for many years, offers all the key components for managing cloud environments. The company brings to the TM Forum cloud services program deep understanding of how to seamlessly extend the management of networks, virtual and physical systems, application performance, security, and services from private to hybrid private/public cloud environments.
