As part of its continued investment in virtualization and cloud
management, CA Technologies, an IT management software and
solutions company, announced the acquisition of privately-held
4Base Technology, a virtualization and cloud infrastructure
consulting firm. Terms of the transaction were not
disclosed.
4Base will become the CA Virtualization and Cloud Strategy group, a
competency practice within the CA Services division. With
experience in more than 300 engagements, 4Base’s role will be
to help customers move efficiently from virtualization to cloud by
providing strategic advice and implementation
expertise.
“As CA Technologies expands its role as a strategic partner
and advisor to customers on the journey from virtualization to
cloud computing, we are investing in both the software and
consulting services needed to achieve substantial business
results,” said Adam Elster, General Manager of CA
Services.
According to a release issued by CA Technologies, virtualization
and cloud computing are in a fluid and evolving state, and CA
Technologies will engage customers with a more comprehensive
solution—both products and services—designed to help
them fully realize the agility and operational benefits that can be
derived from virtualization and cloud computing.
“Enterprises have high interest in virtualization and cloud
computing, but suffer from a lack of proven best practices,”
said Paul Camacho, principal and co-founder of 4Base. “We
look forward to helping new and existing CA Technologies customers
eliminate VM stall and develop a dynamic IT service supply chain
that transforms IT from a cost center to a business enabler,
increases business agility, reduces IT costs, and increases quality
of service,” he added.
