CA Technologies Turnkey Cloud Platform Powers ViaWest's New KINECTed™ Cloud

Developed with and delivered on the CA AppLogic platform, KINECTed™ Cloud - Innovator provides software developers with a flexible, customizable and secure on-demand infrastructure with the scalability, storage and computing power needed to build and test new environments.

• Quickly create, deploy and offer new business services through the cloud; • On-board new clients quickly and easily; • Offer a Web-based front-end for self-service purchase and delivery; • Automate "pay-as-you-go" billing, cost allocations & chargebacks; and • Integrate back office functions for more efficient customer management.

The CA AppLogic platform offers an application-centric approach for delivering infrastructure, tools, applications and virtual data centers in the cloud. Service providers can use the platform to add new services - driving new revenue - independent of hypervisor innovation-with dramatic speed, flexibility and choice. The CA AppLogic platform sets a new standard for fast business service creation with support for multiple hypervisors in the same grid, including VMware ESX and Xen. This enables service providers to address more clients and architectures, and allows enterprises to protect their investments in VMware.

"The CA Technologies-powered KINECTed™ Cloud - Innovator service helps ViaWest drive new revenue and build margin," said Roger Pilc, general manager, Virtualization and Automation, CA Technologies. "Our cloud platform and integrated automation offerings help ViaWest improve operational efficiency and reduce risks. They as well help simplify the delivery of services and provide a broad set of choices for targeting specific markets with differentiated cloud services."
