MUMBAI, INDIA: IT management software company CA, Inc. today announced it has completed its acquisition of privately-held Nimsoft, Inc., a provider of IT performance and availability monitoring solutions for emerging enterprises and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) for $350 million in an all-cash transaction.

The acquisition extends CA’s ability to meet the unique IT management needs of emerging enterprises and MSPs, both of which are playing major roles in the growth of cloud computing, said a press release.
