Blending System z with cloud infrastructures will offer flexibility to manage the dynamic data center and balance workloads across platforms.
“Businesses today are operating at a velocity that has introduced incredible and sometimes unexpected demand on the data center. The emergence of shadow IT and the explosion of mobile applications are forcing data center operations to dynamically expand and contract at the will of the user. By providing the tools that marry the capabilities of System z and the cloud we are helping customers efficiently and cost-effectively deliver an expanded portfolio of IT services designed for business responsiveness.” said Michael Madden, General Manager, Mainframe, CA Technologies.
CA Technologies is supporting System z and the cloud with several new releases that power the dynamic data center with improved efficiencies and cost savings.Customers can further enhance their application delivery for System z by incorporating the CA LISA Service Virtualization solution into their development operations. The latest version CA LISA 7.1 offers new and enhanced mainframe features including support for more mainframe protocols and the ability to virtualize more types of mainframe implementations.
