CA Technologies Just Made IT Operations a Little Easier

CA Technologies has made updates to its DevOps portfolio to offer enhanced monitoring solutions for agile operations. This includes new capabilities in CA Application Performance Management (CA APM) and CA Unified Infrastructure Management (CA UIM). Quality of service metrics from CA UIM can also now be correlated and combined with CA APM performance metrics in a single screen so that DevOps teams have an end-to-end view across applications and infrastructure.

 

Designed to monitor any application infrastructure, CA APM 10 features a redesigned user interface, new analytics and several new patent-pending technologies that enable role and task-based monitoring. The solution’s team center views enable users to filter complex topology maps into role and task-based views using attributes such as location, application type, business service or owner name. DevOps teams can also determine if an update impacts service quality through the visual charts that show changes to application topology, status or other attributes alongside historical performance metrics.

 

To facilitate big data infrastructure, CA UIM 8.3 now provides support for Hadoop, Cassandra NoSQL and MongoDB environments all from a single, unified console. CA UIM’s integration with CA Network Flow Analysis and new analytic capabilities helps reduce mean time to repair by providing insights into application consumption and identifying high priority infrastructure performance issues before user experience is impacted. Customers can also leverage third party tools and download specialized probes for monitoring unique applications, devices or technologies for CA UIM.
