New Innovations Provide the Freedom to Create
Apps and Increase Business Agility Instead of Simply Maintaining
Systems
CA WORLD ’16 — CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced new
solutions that increase the value of mainframe investments with
advanced analytics, increased automation, DevOps for mainframe, and
security for mission essential data.
CA’s expanded mainframe portfolio includes predictive analytics
capabilities for monitoring data that touches the mainframe. CA
Mainframe Operations Intelligence is a new algorithms-based
solution suite that identifies and predicts system issues before
they impact performance. Machine-learning is applied to make sure
there is no downtime and provides the intelligence that reduces the
effort and skill to run data centers.
“Mainframe IT should provide insights for business growth,” said
Ashok Reddy, general manager, Mainframe, CA Technologies. “CA’s
portfolio has the breadth and scale to maximize mainframe value,
reinforcing the role that it plays as the platform for
business-critical operations and as a launch pad for innovation
with DevOps and increased automation.”
The new release of CA Workload Automation makes it easier
to run emerging workloads such as Big Data, Cloud and mobile
applications. It securely schedules, manages and monitors
cross-enterprise workloads through an intuitive web interface for
ease of access and increased visibility. In fact, a major retailer
that achieved 245 percent ROI over three years, saved $2.1 million
in productivity after implementing CA Workload Automation.1
"Our experience with CA Workload Automation has enabled us to
scale our business. The upgrades are fast and easy, and each
release comes with features that are valuable to our business,”
said Doug Schneider, senior vice president and Chief Technology
Officer, Manulife Financial and John Hancock. “We are excited
about the potential the new release offers with a modern
UI that will allow our team members to create, monitor and
manage workloads anytime and from anywhere.
The portability will be a huge factor in helping us
save time and allow for engagement swiftly. We’re also looking
forward to taking advantage of the new customizable dashboards,
which give App Dev, Line of Business and IT Ops visibility into
their workloads."
New automation capabilities help customers manage the entire
project lifecycle of their mainframe software migration efforts.
CA Conversion Service is an industry-first, cloud-based
service to manage conversion efforts from data preparation to
design and rollout, reducing the need for expensive professional
services or staff disruptions.
Modern Development from Mobile to Mainframe
Bringing end-to-end DevOps to the mainframe — from development
to test, release and manage — the new CA Release Automation
Connector for z/OS supports continuous delivery and deployment,
including source code management integration with market-leading
CA Endevor® Software Change Manager, now enhanced to manage
Java components and provide better auditing capabilities for faster
delivery speed across mainframe and distributed environments.
Reducing the Cost of Compliance with Data Security on the
Mainframe
Customers can address stringent data security and compliance
requirements with new releases of CA Data Content Discovery
and CA Compliance Event Manager. These industry-first
mainframe innovations find, classify and protect sensitive and
regulated data at rest and in motion, ultimately helping prevent
costly data breaches and insider threats. Combined, this is the
only data protection solution on the market that runs 100 percent
on the mainframe and can significantly reduce risk inherent in
offloading sensitive data.
By investing in mainframe innovations, CA helps companies
establish and fully execute their digital transformation strategies
across platforms. These solutions are part of CA’s software
portfolio that gives companies the ability to sense, react and
adapt to market shifts and operational needs.
According to IDC, “Mainframes still represent 10 percent of
annual spending on server technology,” says Matt Eastwood, group
vice president, IDC. “They remain very strong platforms for a
variety of mission-critical workloads including business
applications, transaction processing, and large data
warehouses.”
