After Nimsoft, 3Tera in CA's bag

MUMBAI, INDIA: CA, Inc. has announced the completion of its acquisition of cloud-computing pioneer 3Tera, Inc., whose AppLogic offers an innovative solution for building cloud services and deploying complex enterprise-class applications to public and private clouds. Terms were not disclosed.

The announcement follows the March 17 completion of CA’s acquisition of Nimsoft, Inc., a leading provider of IT performance and availability monitoring solutions for emerging enterprises and Managed Service Providers. Both 3Tera and Nimsoft were privately-held. CA announced a definitive agreement to acquire 3Tera on February 24.

A press release adds that with these and other recent transactions, along with its aggressive internal development efforts, CA continues to expand its leading portfolio of technology management solutions to uniquely support customers as they seek to gain maximum business benefits from emerging cloud computing models.

”As organizations around the world embrace cloud computing, they face new management challenges—such as keeping their cloud vendors accountable and simplifying the migration of existing services from conventional infrastructure to the cloud,” said Chris O’Malley, executive vice president of CA’s Cloud Products & Solutions Business Line. “CA continues to expand its solution set to help our customers successfully meet these new management challenges and thereby obtain the full potential business benefits offered by cloud computing.”

AppLogic has allowed us to deliver new on-demand services and attract a new type of customer while decreasing the operational costs and complexity of our operations and support," said Jack Finlayson, CEO, Layered Technologies. “We see CA’s focus and urgency on helping its customers with cloud computing as something that will have a very positive impact on our business and we look forward to growing our partnership to a new level.”
